[SML] Tips for Painting a concrete stage floor

[Dan Sheehan]

just a thought, for the 2 cents it may be worth
Context:
non-profit community theatre, ~ 30 x 28 stage area, wooden flooring planks
~ 3" wide running US-DS
Painted for almost every show, usually monochrome, sometimes art eg.
woodgrain, stone, tile,  ..
.
A few decades ago painted it brown rather than black to soften and warm it
for that one show;
don't think it's been black more than one handful of times since.
Usually dark brown , sometimes reddish, sometimes medium to darkish grey.
Often  satin/matte, sometimes flat,   rarely semigloss.
