Can you use floor/porch paint on walls?
some floor paint might successfully be applied to walls, it's not going to look as colourful or as attractive. Likewise, wall paint mistakenly applied to the floor will quickly flake and scuff without the addition of a strong protective layer. Wall paint is mixed to custom specifications with blended pigments.
Redo hardwood floor before you paint?
Opinions vary on this, but most contractors agree it's better to paint the walls before refinishing hardwood floors. It's a matter of practicality - you don't want to splatter or spill paint on your newly finished floors, nor put stepstools and such on top of floor finish that hasn't fully cured yet. Others will say the sanding process on floors will leave dust all over newly painted walls, and mars the trim. So it's really just your own preference. Seems to me that cleaning dust off walls and touching up paint on trims is easier and less hazardous than risking paint spills and scuffed floor finish.
