You can ';paint '; the floor tile with a 100% sucess. However, its going to be an epoxy 2 part floor paint. Here is how to do it.





You will need to rent an orbital floor sander to clean and roughen up the surface with 400 grit paper. Then mix the two part epoxy and use an applicator. Im not certain how you'd achieve the cork tile look, but with some expermentation, im sure you could.





The Epoxy floor is available in Chicago here at Menards this week for $38 and it covers 250 sq feet on new floor and 500 on 2nd application. The MAB paints also sells a similar material with much more color selections.Can I paint old vinyl floor tiles?
