Can I Paint Marley Floor Tiles?
Generally, this is not something that we would recommend as floor paint does not tend to stick to vinyl or Marley floor tiles very well. Both acrylic and epoxy paints will not absorb into the vinyl. Instead, they will sit on the top and will quickly become very brittle and flake off. If the flooring is waxed this will inhibit the vinyl floor paint even further.
Having said this, painting can often be a short term fix and spare the expense and hassle of removing and replacing your vinyl or linoleum floor covering.
Please note, any vinyl flooring would need to be at least 1 year old before attempting to paint. The most important issue to take into account, is that any dirt, wax or polish has been thoroughly removed before painting is attempted.
If you do choose to proceed with painting the following products can be used:
Priming
Topcoat
It is important to reiterate that there are no guarantees that painting this type of floor will last. It is a difficult substrate and durability may be an issue.
