Over-coating Baufix floor paint.....

[slim_boy_fat]

The recess at my front door [and the window sills] is currently painted with Lidl's Baufix external floor paint [mid grey] which I applied some years back and which has stood up to the ravages of time and footfall very well.

It's now getting a bit marked and I'd like to give it another coat to smarten it up. I had approx half of the tub left but it got frosted over successive Winters and the problem is I can't now find the stuff - the interweb can't find any for sale anywhere.

Before I resort to another product, will it be safe to apply a coat of any other generic floor paint [e.g. epoxy] over the Baufix or can I expect a reaction? It's not a huge area so I'll not need 5 ltrs which will probably suffer the same fate, living as it does in the cave.

It depends on what its base is. I would expect that an epoxy based floor paint should cover without reacting. Never tried it over synthetic, but nothing else seems to upset it.

Thanks. Seems it is available in Germany, but I don't think I'll be going to that extent

I forgot to say that I don't want to have to sand the current stuff to provide a 'key' .
