and paint at below the manufacturer’s recommended temperature?
HandymanParticipantI have found their paints cover well.
What did they give you as the reason for paint failure? You say that you scraped and primed but left open the question if the paint is pealing in the areas where paint was still there. Is this a Oil vs latex paint problem?HandymanParticipantYou can view them all here for free:

HandymanParticipantRoy,
This forum is community of people who help out other people. *** **** does not get involved for exactly the reasons you want him to, to remain unbiased. This forum is full of biased opinions from regular people who use products and can state anything they want to about them.
HandymanParticipantSounds like a hospital, rehabilitation or corrections facility. Change something and they may charge you for the TV or worse take it away. If you know when they are going to be airing the message either don’t watch or be out of the area.

Especially if you need to clean the area with abrasive cleaners. However if you are going to paint the tile and don’t mind getting into a regular schedule of maintenance. You can paint the tile.First rough up the tile with fine sandpaper or do it chemically. Products are available at the major home centers and may be called deglossers. Then wash the tile real well. You should use an epoxy primer as your first coat. You can find a good brand at most automotive parts supply houses or big box improvement centers. Then paint with the color and finish of your choice.

Be sure to use the same scale when multiplying. I tend to use feet and convert to yards when ordering concrete as most concrete is sold by the yard (cubic yard actually).
Once you have measured, there are three sites that have calculators to save you time.

http://www.concrete.com/calculatorsmaterials.htmIf you would like to do it yourself:
To convert cubic feet (length x width x depth) to cubic yards divide by 27.
For circles it is a bit trickier: pi (3.14) times the radius squared (radius times radius) times the depth. The radius is half the diameter (distance across the circle).
Never round down in the amount of yards you need.
