Paint for old lino tiles   
Hi,

having stripped up some really gross carpet we are left with very old lino
tiles on a concrete floor.

Prior to new flooring (some months away) I would like to brighten the
floor up.

Any suggestions of a suitable paint to go over old lino tiles?

TIA

For some reason George and Weedon Grossmith's "Diary of a Nobody" 
floated into my mind.

Sorry.

I woudln't count on any paint not to flake off. A rug?

Bright yellow floor paint. I tried this in a squat I was living in
once. It worked fine but took about a week to dry meanwhile we had to
clamber over the kitchen units which was fun. I moved out about 3
months later so I don't know how long it lasts
