Hello All,

I just painted my basement floor with Lowe's American Tradition
basement paint. I used 2 coats. It is peeling already, 2 days later, in
certain spots where there was a lot of traffic. Why did this happen? I
followed the directions on the can. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks!

I'm currently doing a project (non-floor) with their AT paint... I will
never buy it again. Primed the wall, put the first coat up and was NOT
happy with it. Left it dry for two days, put a light cover back on and
the paint scraped right off the wall. I'm stuck with it for this one,
but waiting two days for it to dry was nuts in my humble opinion.

Do you know if your floor was treated with anything when it was done?
Finish sealer or that sort of thing?

One of two reasons...first and most likely is the surface wasn't
cleaned/prepared. Second would be moisture. What did you do for
surface prep?

Most likely you did not follow the cans instructions on prep.

I was just reading the instructions online. It says to clean with TSP.
Where do you get that? It also says you can do an acid etching if it is
unpainted or smooth worn concrete.

What would you all suggest? Should I scrape off all of the new paint?
Even in the areas where it is not peeling? and then clean with TSP then
repaint?

I was thinking about just painting over the peeling spots then putting
area rugs down.

what do you think?
