Tech Tips & Tricks

Blending paint and stain can achieve a unique and vibrant appearance on Maple floors. Expand your offering with this new technique!

• Achieve a more vibrant and consistent stain appearance on maple
• Expand your stain color offering with the palette of CourtLines Paint colors
• Only for unfinished/bare wood

1. Mix Ratios

• 2 parts stain to 1 part paint

2. Water-popping is a must. Use a T-bar to even out the water-popped surface and let dry thoroughly (overnight) before applying stain/paint mixture. Water-popped surface is vulnerable to scuffs/knockdown, so be gentle during your application – otherwise you’ll see those marks in the color.
3. Best to apply with carpet circle or white pad under buffer to ensure consistent application of stain/paint
4. Use a second carpet circle/white pad to buff off excess stain/paint mixture
5. May need to apply additional coat if color is blotchy or uneven
6. Dry time: follow recommended dry times for CourtLines Paint. Also, may need to lightly and gently abrade with used Conditioning Pads if Paint ratio is high than 2:1
