Extreme Paints Quick‑Dry Alkyd Floor Paint 20.0 kg

Q: How soon can I park my car after painting the garage floor?

Wait 48 hours at 18 °C; cooler temperatures extend cure time.

Q: Will this paint adhere over old epoxy?

Not recommended. Remove or thoroughly abrade and test adhesion first.

Q: Can I thin the paint for spraying?

Yes, add up to 5 % white spirit. Excessive thinning reduces film build.

Q: Does the anti-slip grit change coverage?

Slightly; expect 5–6 m²/L on textured coats due to increased surface area.

Q: Is it suitable for exterior patios?

Yes, on well-drained slabs. Protect from standing water for the first 24 h.

Q: Will tyre heat soften the coating?

Once fully cured, the alkyd resists hot-tyre pickup to >60 °C.

Extreme Paints Quick‑Dry Alkyd Floor Paint is a single-pack, low-odour coating engineered to deliver polyurethane-like toughness with the speed of an acrylic. Formulated with a modified alkyd resin, it creates a durable, easy-clean satin finish that withstands solvents, salts, and frequent forklift or foot traffic. The optional pre-measured silica additive adds a fine anti-slip texture for ramps, loading bays, or wet areas.

Ideal for garages, workshops, food-prep rooms, agricultural bays, and any workspace requiring minimized downtime, this paint can be applied directly to sound concrete, timber, or prepared metal. For bare or porous slabs, a coat of Extreme Seal Concrete Dustproofer & Primer is recommended to maximize adhesion and reduce delamination risk.

Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 quality controls, it comes in 5 L, 10 L, and 20 L tins, allowing DIY users and professionals to coat large areas without colour variation.

Will tyre heat soften the coating?

Once fully cured, the alkyd resists hot-tyre pickup to >60 °C.

Can I use it on wooden steps?

Yes; sand, prime knots, and apply two thin coats. Anti-slip additive is advisable.

What’s the minimum application temperature?

Apply above 10 °C and rising; humidity under 80 %.

Does it get yellow indoors?

Alkyds may amber slightly over years; dark colours show minimal yellowing.

How do I repair a chip?

Clean, lightly sand the edge, wipe, then dab a touch-up coat; blends after 2–3 days.

Can I add extra grit for ramps?

Yes; add up to 50 % more silica but stir frequently to keep grit suspended.

Will oil spills stain the surface?

Most automotive oils wipe away if cleaned within an hour.

Is a polyurethane topcoat necessary?

Not required; two coats provide full protection. PU clear can boost gloss if desired.

How should I dispose of leftover paint?

Harden small amounts; take liquid waste to a hazardous-waste facility.

Can I tint small tins on-site?

Minor shade tweaks with alkyd tinters are possible; bulk custom colours are factory-tinted for accuracy.
