Hardwood Floor Painting

last month

Has anyone painted their hardwood floors? Had my 100 year old house tented for termites and the floors they chewed up have been repaired with filler. I really don’t have the time or energy to sand and stain the floors so wondering if anyone has had good luck painting them.

You certainly can. However the prep work will be extensive if you want the paint to stick, and even then it will not last in the higher traffic areas. And depending on the witches brews that have been applied for cleaning in the past, paint may not stick.
