How to Paint Plywood Floor

Painting a plywood floor can be an affordable way to update your space with a durable, attractive finish. Proper preparation and the right materials are crucial for success.

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the floor. Sand the entire surface to create a smooth base and remove any existing finish. Fill any gaps or imperfections with wood filler, then sand again until completely smooth.
