- Colors used were:
Tan/Beige Base coat. Doesn’t really matter as long as it’s a creamy yellow.
Second gray base coat: Behr Slate Gray porch paint
White wash: Eider White by Sherwin Williams.
And I used both Behr and Rustoleum Parks satin water based polyurethane.
Thank you for getting to the point, fast and simple, love this idea!!
looks great ! I'm doing this thank you! ✌🏼🙏🏻💯of course the "pros" would critique you because they lose out on all our hard earn cash! Great job!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
I love how funny this guy is 😂😂 funny and honest 🤣
"Find a nice hidden spot to test the colors in just like I did, right by the front door." 😂😂😂
I respect this guy god bless you brother
You are hilarious. Thanks for the video 😊
Thanks for watching!
Looks great!!
I love this! I'm looking for the colors you used because I want a copy you lol. Anyway you could post a list of the colors.
I know in the video it says it's in the description but for some reason I can't seem to find it
I know I’m sorry I just realized I didn’t ever put them in the description. So the first base coat was just some sort of tan. Doesn’t really matter. The gray was I think called slate gray or porch gray. It’s just just the stock gray porch paint from Behr. The white was Eider White which is a Sherwin Williams color but HD still mixed it for me. Hope this helps!
Lol, you keep saying your lazy haha, I think you're lying 😂. That looks like a lot of work to me, I'm lazy lol. Great job, looks nice.
lol when it comes to menial tasks like cleaning, laundry, etc
Thank you so much for this! Please clarify because this is what I'm planning to do in my kitchen. You mix the 1st and 2nd coats of latex with plaster of paris and then mix the 3rd coat of paint with polyurethane? I'm confused because you mixed such a small amount in that last part of the video. Again, So Appreciate this!
@@kiwifish9235 yes correct. The 3rd coat is the white wash. Water based polyurethane. Latex paint and water. Your final coats will be just polyurethane.
@@dougwolfedrums Thank you!
You are Not Lazy!
Was the 2nd coat of grey because you wanted to build up the primer or because you wanted some depth of colour under the whitewash? Or, if you had white porch paint lying around, you would have used that as your 2nd coat of primer...? And always with plaster of Paris in the primer coats, yes?
The gray with the whitewash gave me closer to the look I was going for than the tan with whitewash. I would definitely do two coats, but the color is just a style preference really.
I'm starting with raw wood floors & want to paint them - should I follow the same process? OR do I need to seal them with something first?
I’d seal them but can’t say for sure. The same process would work but if I had bare wood to start I probably would have just polyurethaned them. This was just a solution to keep me from having to sand.
Why you use plaster of Paris?
@@mariaiturrino6693 it adds texture and porosity to the paint… basically it’s what makes it stick
Can you give me a recipe for doing this in the opposite direction? I would like to darken my floors. I want a chocolate brown color. Do you think it will work?
Start with Brown- Add a small amount of black paint to the brown to darken it. Start with something like 4 cups brown and 1/2 cup of black. Add a touch of red paint to give the brown a warmer, chocolatey tone. Yellow can also adjust the shade.
Adjust with black or white as needed. But certainly add water to thin the paint otherwise you’ll potentially cover the wood grain more than intended. Also 1-2 cups of plaster of Paris
@@dougwolfedrums awesome!
Nice I like this working I have 10 year's experience following sanding and police but I'm from nepal anibadi give me Visa
Niceeeeee‼️
Is that a delco accent i hear?
Hahah I’m a couple west in York
Renting a sander would be so much easier and new products are stronger and cure quickly without smell. You have creative idea, but doesn't add beauty and value to house. Sad to say it's a lot of work to paint, when sanding path would have been easier and a much BETTER investment.
I did that the first time I refinished the floors 13 years ago. Dogs/kids destroyed them. Plus I grew up working in my dads body shop sanding cars. I despise sanding lol. Thanks for watching
@@dougwolfedrums New products out that are strong.
I’m doing this now! So convenient being able to do sections and not completely remove everything. Plus we can still live here. If we sanded it we would have had to move out for the week.
Thanks for the video!
@@chris-tq5ly That's just not true anymore. You can do sections with sanding. New water based products like Bona are stronger than old oil products. Cure in three days with no smell. Never have to move out.
Sounds like someone misled you, or you don't have current information.
@@dougwolfedrums Sounds like sad story, but the technology has improved a LOT in recent years. New products are easier to use, and cure stronger and quickly. Much, much better than paint. Think you need to learn about all the new professional floor products. It's a mistake to choose paint instead which won't last as long, won't look better, or won't add value to home.
It's durable? ....that remains to be seen if you just did this.
Durable meaning not easily damaged, I never said anything about longevity. Any hardwood floor will eventually take a beating with dogs/kids. But I have tested it trying to scratch it and dropped tools on it etc and it’s not been an issue. Dirt and liquid spills wipe right off. I did put 3 coats of poly on so I’m sure that helps. Thanks for watching
@@dougwolfedrumsso what if I just wanted to put grey paint on my floor? Would I have to do all the steps in the video? Or just sweep, clean the floors then paint?
@@oyahzi you’d still have to add plaster of Paris to the grey to get it to adhere to the floor. 2-3 coats of grey. Then 3 coats minimum of water based poly. They sell that in almost no sheen to glossy
I just pulled up the old sticky tiles over my hardwood floors. They are so dirty. I bought a scraper and some detergent so I can clean them. They look so bad and have small gaps in between some of the planks. I love these floors and can’t afford to refinish them so I am literally studying your video
As long as there’s nothing sticky left over and there aren’t bumps of residue you’ll be fine. You could try goo gone mixed with hot water and dawn. Use a really abrasive shop broom and then mop it up and see how it’s looking/feeling from there
Too much work
