Wow, you sure have a lot of paints to choose from. I want to coat some interior brick masonry with a neutral Navajo-type white semi-gloss. Trying to select both a primer and finish coat product. One gallon each should do. it's a pretty small area, about 100 sf. Want to minimize outgassing, have chemical sensitivity. Recommendations? View answer

Our basement is approximately 900 square feet of concrete flooring. 200 square feet is old linoleum, 12x12 square tiles, flat color with no finish or wax. The tiles were applied with black adhesive probably in the 1950's. Can your product be applied to the linoleum and adhesive and cover the linoleum without having to remove these tiles? Will the the concrete and linoleum areas wear evenly? It is a low traffic basement. View answer

I have a 1958 built house with a sunroom that has a concrete floor. It was painted with exterior green concrete paint that is easily rubbed off on your hand in the form of a dust. Can I paint over this with your paint or do I need to get rid of the old green paint first? View answer

So, according to your installation guidelines, your surface prep instructs "If water drops fail to penetrate quickly, surface may need additional attention to create proper surface profile." Unfortunately for us, our garage floor was sealed, 20+ years ago, and still holds up quite well repelling liquids. This space will specifically be used for living area. I've done a LOT of research, and it seems the acid etch will not be sufficient to create a proper surface profile. Can you verify that my only option would be to use a concrete grinder to adequately prepare the floor surface for application of this product? Thanks! View answer

I have an exterior wood sign I want to paint. If I use the AFM Concrete Paint would that stand up better to the elements than the normal Exterior Satin paint? I live in Arizona, so abrasive sand winds are a thing I deal with, and the sun/heat. What would help me get the most life out of a painted sign? View answer

I would like to paint the concrete walls of my basement egresses white. They have some mildew I can't get off with the cleaners I have...what should I use as paint, and how should I prepare the walls? There is a bit of a plastic canopy over the egress, but not sealed. water and air gets in (I won't paint the floor of the egress). Thank you! View answer

Is there any difference between the regular air purifying paint and the "ECOS OUTLET UNTINTED" paint? Sometimes "outlet" items (from other companies) can have some quality difference, even if it's minor. Thank you for your time and your great products, really love the ECOS paints. View answer

Can I paint a cast iron fire pit with this paint? View answer

I ordered a new cast iron radiator (steam radiator) which comes pre-primed by the manufacturer. They said that without painting it with a "Non alkalized oil based enamel" the radiator would be off-gassing toxins and it Shouldn't be used until it's painted. Would this plus normal AFM paint work for this issue? I don't want toxic fumes/off-gassing in my baby's room where the new radiator is going. View answer

I want to make an iron pipe table. I would like to paint the bottom black, but I'm looking for a non-toxic paint and it is hard to find. I did see your product for metal and I was wondering what color it was. If it is transparent, the legs wouldn't be as black as I want them, right? What would you recommend? View answer
