A Faux Turquoise Painted Concrete Floor

Part Seven About Painting Concrete Floors

This floor is reminiscent of a turquoise and copper gem stone.

The Finished Floor

The border between hall and bedroom, placed so the blue is flush with the door when the door is closed.

The floor after two coats of  Sherwin Williams Floor and Porch Enamel.


The floor after adding paint highlights, glitter, and two top coats of  Interior/Exterior Acrylic Satin H&C Concrete Sealer, Wet Look Water Based, from Sherwin Williams.

Copper glitter scattered while rolling on the Interior/Exterior Acrylic Satin H&C Concrete Sealer, Wet Look Water Based.  It is reminiscent of natural turquoise and copper.

The glitter is subtle, but glints in the light.  It took some trial and error to get the glitter to show up in the image.

For more about the process see my previous posts, Prepping the Floor, and Painting a Concrete Floor.
