It kept clean pretty well being such a dark color (we carried a lot of dirt through that room, but dirt-colored paint hid it pretty nicely). We just wiped it down every week or two with a swiffer, and having door mats at each entry/exit point helped too!

I’ve worked with some flat latex paints in the past and you see every foot print and every speck of dust. How does the glossy oil base show dirt?

I bet one or two gallons would do the trick, and they’re around $30 a gallon if I remember. You can price it out at the store (they have square footage on the can, too). Good luck!

I didn’t read through all the comments so, sorry if you’ve already answered this: about how much does it cost to do this?

We just had our basement finished and the floor is plain ole never been touched concrete. I would love to stain or paint the floor and put down large rugs.

My husband (so ready for his man cave) really wants carpet. He also wants to find another way to save some money on the basement. Our neighbor runs her own design business and she’s selling us the carpet at wholesale and has a person that can put it in for us.

I’m thinking staining or painting would be much cheaper. Am I right? We would need to cover around 800 square feet.
Thank you for any help on this.

It’s a great transformation and so simple to do. Thanks for sharing!
