Description
Revitalize your steps and floors with our Epoxy Resin Floor & Step Paint, specially formulated for concrete and primed metal surfaces. This premium, high-gloss finish enhances the appearance of your space while providing exceptional durability and long-lasting performance.
Perfect for areas with significant foot traffic, this paint ensures your steps and floors remain resilient over time. Its advanced epoxy formulation offers superior resistance to chemicals, moisture, and everyday wear, keeping your surfaces protected and looking like new.
Designed to seal and protect porous concrete and primed metal, the paint minimises dust accumulation and simplifies cleaning. Whether applied in residential, commercial, or industrial spaces, this epoxy floor paint is an excellent choice for steps, garages, workshops, basements, and more.
As with any painted surface, it can become slippery when wet. However, we offer a non-slip version that includes a pre-mixed aggregate, providing a rough textured finish to help reduce the risk of slipping.
Important Notice:
Do not apply two pack epoxy paint in temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, as the cross-linking of the paint and catalyst will not occur, preventing the coating from fully drying.
While epoxy coatings are renowned for their superior chemical resistance and protection against the elements, it’s important to note that colours may chalk and fade when used in external applications
It is also essential to remember that two pack epoxy paints cannot be applied over existing single pack paints, as they will react with them.
About This Item
NEW 3-IN-1 TECHNOLOGY: When painting concrete floors this paint primes, seals and protects with just two coats. We recommend thinning the first coat by 20% with epoxy thinners, to ensure it impregnates the concrete.
TOUGH EPOXY FORMULA: The coating will not peel or wear down like single-pack floor paints.
SUITABLE SUBSTRATES: Concrete and primed Metal.
FINISH: Gloss
APPLICATION: Can be applied using a brush or roller. Medium Pile solvent resistant rollers are recommended.
MIXING RATIO: The mixing ratio 4:1. 4 parts paint to 1 part hardener.
POT LIFE: Once the components are mixed, the pot life is around 4-6 hours.
COVERAGE: Approximately 8 square metres per litre. This does not account for the method of application, absorption of substrate or wastage.
DRYING TIMES: The paint is touch dry in 2-4 hours, and the area can be walked on after 3-4 hours. Full curing takes 7 days, so vehicles and heavy items should not be placed on the surface until after this period.
THINNERS: T0200 Epoxy Thinner.

Application
Painting a Bare Concrete Floor:
Never pre-seal the floor prior to painting, particularly with latex or PVC sealers, as paint will not adhere properly.
Ensure good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; this is also essential for maintaining drying times. Without air movement, the coating cannot dry effectively.
New concrete floors should be left to dry for at least 3 months before painting. Any remaining moisture in the concrete can lead to paint delamination.
Step 1 - Clean and Abrade: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Power floated and smooth concrete floors must be mechanically abraded to ensure proper adhesion.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Step 2 - First Coat / Prime: Thin the first coat by 20% with T0200 Epoxy Thinners to ensure the paint impregnates the concrete, which will act as the primer / sealer. Begin by cutting in around the edges with a 2- or 3-inch brush, and work backwards towards the exit.
Step 3 - Topcoat: Apply the second coat of paint within 12-24 hours of the first coat for optimal adhesion and performance. If you go over 24 hours then a light abrasion will be needed.
Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Painting a Bare Metal Floor:
Ensure good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; this is also essential for maintaining drying times. Without air movement, the coating cannot dry effectively.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Step 1 - Clean: Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Step 2 - Prime: As this product does not have anti corrosive properties you will need to use one coat of our Two Pack Epoxy Primer. Begin by cutting in around the edges with a 2- or 3-inch brush, and work backwards towards the exit.
Step 3 - Topcoat: Apply the first coat of top coat and overcoat with the second coat 12-24 hours after the first coat for optimal adhesion and performance.
Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Painting Over Existing Paint:
Ensure good ventilation to allow vapour to escape; this is also essential for maintaining drying times. Without air movement, the coating cannot dry effectively.
Be sure to stir the paint well before use.
Step 1 - Preparation: Check the suitability of the product for the existing paint. We recommend trying a sample area first, as two-pack epoxies cannot be applied over single-pack paints.
Step 2 - Clean and Abrade:
- Ensure the existing paint is in good condition before painting.
- Lightly abrade the surface to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- Remove any flaking paint prior to painting.
- Ensure the substrate is dry and clean of dirt, oil or grease.
Step 3 - Prime (metal only):
For any rusted areas, sand back to bare metal and spot prime with the appropriate two pack epoxy primer.
Step 4 - Topcoat: Apply the first coat of top coat and overcoat with the second coat 12-24 hours after the first for optimal adhesion and performance. Begin by cutting in around the edges with a 2- or 3-inch brush, and work backwards towards the exit.
Two coats of topcoat are recommended for optimal coverage.
Primers
When painting bare metal a primer will be needed as this top paint doesn't have any anti-corrosive properties. Please see a list of compatible primers.

Mixing
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint and catalyst together. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mix the catalyst into the paint for 3-5 minutes, allow to stand for a minute, and then repeat.
- Combine the catalyst into the can before pouring it into a paint tray.
- If you are thinning the paint, this is added once the paint has been catalysed.
- Ensure all components are thoroughly mixed to avoid any colour inconsistencies or drying issues.
