I think I have a good idea for "painting" vinyl floors and need to know if anyone else has tried it? First, super clean the floor and prime it. I thought that I"d get a really large roll of light brown or light gray medium weight paper and cut it into 2 or 3 foot squares, crumple it tightly and leave it crumpled for a few days.
Then mix 1/2 water and 1/2 polyurethane, uncrumple paper, dip in water and poly mix and lay it out on the floor with 1/8-1/4 in space between, smoothing as much as you'd like to get whatever texture you prefer. When it's dry, faux finish to look like rock, granite, etc. and paint the lines in between. In fact, if you know the colors you're going to faux finish in, you could have your primer tinted to match your need. When all is dry, go over all of it with the kind of finish they use on ball courts, or 2 to 3 coats of poly. What do you think? Any ideas for bettering the project? Thank you.
