Do it myself concrete floor painting or staining

Step 1.  If your floor is inside the house, do a little checking before you decide to paint your floor. Is the concrete damp? Are there puddles? (If so, then you have a larger problem than an ugly floor!) If so, contact a professional to take care of the water seepage problem. Let the concrete dry thoroughly before painting (this may take a l-o-n-n-n-n-n-n-g time!)

Good luck with your project! 

I know someone who tried doing that on their own and gave up half way through.

It's  really hard work and should be done by pros.

Basically, it's a lot of sending with an electric sender that you will need to buy \ rent, the dust is very toxic so you have to use a gas mask. Then a lot of cleaning to get all the dust out, then painting the floor with sealer and paint (again, both very toxic).

Really i would not recommend doing it on your own.

hi... the first step to staining concrete is to throughly powerwash the surface. You can then rent a paint sprayer with the attachment to stain the concrete. One tip is to spray in even circular pattern covering all of the concrete and do at least 2-3 coats for even color.

I have used Rustoleum garage floor paint with much success. They give you decorative chips that make the defects most unnoticeable. You will have to get floor clean though.

If you're doing your own DIY floor project, here's a good guide to concrete floors .

I think it will depends on the  surface of the concrete floor. But I know that there are lot's of DIY companies in the internet that provide tutorial on this.. Take a look.
