How to Paint a Floor
Who needs a rug when a SMART Edge Roller adds dramatic design to a boring floor.
Overview
Brighten a dingy and dark floor with a fresh color and easy country pattern.
Roll floor in base color
Load the Wagner SMART Roller with the tan paint. Roll the plank floor with the roller, beginning in a far corner of the room. Paint the surface until completely covered. Let the floor dry overnight and repeat with a second coat. Let dry thoroughly.
Tape stencil to floor and paint with accent color
Tape the stencil to the floor using a low tack painter's tape. Load the Wagner SMART Edge Roller with red paint. With the stencil held down, roll over with paint.
Remove stencil
Carefully remove the stencil revealing the design underneath and then let dry thoroughly.
Repeat
Repeat in a random pattern until you achieve the desired effect.
Marvel at your work
And just like that, you have created a fresh, updated look for those dingy floors.
