How can you make a painted cement floor shine after scrubbing.?

DO NOT urethane a painted floor if the floor paint is latex as the solvent in the urethane will affect the paint regardless of the age of the paint, also the resins in urethane yellow over time so your floor color will also take on a yellow appearance. There are water borne clear coats for floors H%26amp;C contrete stains make a few as does minwax...just make sure they are compatible with painted surfaces also add a slip resistant like Shark Grip as a high sheen concrete floor can be very dangerous if it gets wet.How can you make a painted cement floor shine after scrubbing.?

You will have to wax or polish it to get it shiny.


I would be very careful doing this as cement can get very slippery when it is waxed.


Kurtis has the right idea about painting it though, if you want to go to the trouble.
