Paint keeps flaking off Concrete Yard Floor
Jun 16th, 2014, 3:49pm
 
Hi,

any advice would be appreciated.

Ive painted my yard with Ronseal Diamond floor paint.
1st coat I watered down.
However paint keeps flaking off in sections.
The flooring is uneven in places, just after quick fix as I'm selling house.
My dad says try watered down PVA before paint again.

cheers

Karl

I certainly wouldn't use PVA at this time, perhaps a call to Ronseal would be in order.

By Yard do you mean an outside yard, if so it won't work because Ronseal diamond floor paint is for interior use only.

HI,

yes its an outside yard.

the painter I got did a good job on the front & back of house.
Didn't have time to do yard floor but left me with tin of ronseal diamond.

any recommendations?

thanks again

If you look at the info on this paint it says interior/exterior, but if you look at the detailed instructions on their PDF it says interior only.

If you have used this outside I think you would probably have to remove it before you could put anything on top. Is it practical to put a layer of gravel or decorative chips/bark to cover the yard?
