I think it would look terrible.I think if you peeled them up and painted the floor with a paint meant for concrete it would look a lot better

I have old commercial grade tile on the basement floor. They are dirty looking and stained in places.

Can I paint these with that floor stain ? How do you think that would look ?

Some of the old commercial tiles can be buffed out with a commmercial buffer (usually available to rent). this could be the easiest alternative.

Scrape off floor and paint via BIG LOTS paint… - Posted by James -

the dark blue kind of paint. 5-7 bucks per gallon. Covers VERY well. I don’t suggest it for walls.

Painting the basements always makes them look better.

Are they asbestos tile? Is it a finished basement? If yes to both, you might consider carpet over the tile and leave the tile alone. Paint will look horrible and probably not stay stuck to the tile.
