Dear Laura,
I wouldn't paint the floor because I wedge on large lumps of clay on the
floor. It is absorbent if unsealed. If you paint it , you may get
peeling paint in your clay.

Hi Laura,
It depends on how you are going to use your floor. Marcia in Montana has
a well taken point. On the other hand, unsealed concrete "dusts"(which
probally does'nt interfer with clay stuff, but may be harder to damp mop
effectively) My studio floor was painted before I got there and I've had
no problems with it. I wedge on plywood when I do that sort of thing.
Were I going to seal a new studio floor, I'd consider Thompson's Water
Seal verses Paint as paint does wear quickly in heavy traffic areas.

I recently put down a new plywood floor and painted with an epoxy paint ...
it's an incredible product and will not chip with normal use ... I think
even very rough use. It's not as hard to apply as I thought, though you do
have to work quickly as it hardens fast. I know there are epoxy paints
suitable for concrete ... so that is a possibility.

We have a concrete floor in our store/gallery and we opted to paint it
white with concrete floor paint. It is wearing really well and has only
chipped in places where metal things have gotten droped or something was
dragged across it. Hope this helps,Jennifer in Alpine, TX
