1. Which Surfaces Can I Paint with Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint?

Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint is formulated for tarmac, concrete, asphalt, wood, brick, and even walls—making it a versatile choice for both commercial and residential settings. Its water-based acrylic composition ensures a strong bond while providing a semi-gloss finish.

2. Do I Need a Primer Before Applying the Paint?

In most cases, no. Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint is self-priming, which means you can often skip a separate primer on clean, sound surfaces. This fast-drying approach saves you both time and effort—just ensure the floor is dust-free and dry before painting.

3. How Long Does It Take to Dry, and When Can I Recoat?

This fast-drying floor paint typically dries touch-dry within a few hours. You can usually recoat in about 6 hours, though factors like temperature and humidity can affect drying times. Always refer to the product instructions for precise guidelines.

4. Is Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint Durable Enough for Foot and Vehicle Traffic?

Yes. This robust formula is designed to withstand foot traffic and light vehicle traffic, making it suitable for garages, workshops, and busy home or commercial floors. Its semi-gloss finish not only looks professional but also offers long-lasting protection.

5. What Colours Are Available, and Can I Customise Them?

Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint comes in a range of RAL, BS, and NCS shades, allowing you to match décor or brand requirements. Custom colours are available for larger orders—check the minimum quantities if you have a specific hue in mind.

6. How Should I Prepare the Surface Before Painting?

1. Clean and degrease the floor to remove oil, dirt, or contaminants.
2. Repair cracks or chips for a smoother finish.
3. Ensure the surface is fully dry.
   Proper prep ensures optimal adhesion and a long-lasting finish.

7. Is the Cleanup Process Difficult?

Not at all. Because it’s water-based, you can clean brushes, rollers, and spills with warm soapy water—no harsh solvents needed. This makes application and cleanup much more convenient than solvent-based paints.

8. Can Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint Be Used Outdoors?

Yes. The water-based acrylic formulation can be used in exterior applications—like driveways, patios, or car parks—provided the surface is properly prepped and you allow sufficient drying time between coats. However, always consider local weather conditions to ensure the best results.
