Probably....if you feel that you must paint it.

I would apply a good alkyd primer first, then several coats. Whatever you put on there is going to get trashed soon. Also, it will be very slippery unless you use some non skid additive on your final coat. Make sure that you keep the paint well stirred when you put it on with the additive if you decide to use it.

What is the difference between marine grade plywood and treated and will paint stick to treated plywood?

Marine grade plywood and treated plywood aren't the same thing. Marine grade plywood has special glues and woods that will withstand constant immersion in water. Treated plywood is regular plywood that has been run through a pressure treating cycle. Paint will stick to treated plywood if you make sure to let it dry for a few months before you paint.


What type of plywood do you use for a paint finish?

I'm ripping off my nasty carpet and talked to my contractor friend and she said to paint the plywood with a water based opaque deck stain. She mentioned the brand Fortune. Then you seal it with a gloss or whatever finish. Do not wet the plywood, it needs to be cleaned without getting it wet. I'll let you know how it works. The cheapest paint-grade plywood would be BC grade. It's smooth finished on one side only. If you need something nicer, you can go with any smooth plywood. Check for divots, or "footballs" (the plugs they use to fix divots found at the plant).

How do you remove eggshell paint from a wooden floor?

I'm taking a guess that it is Latex Paint. The best and fastest way would be to use a Paint Scraper. Stripper would work but it would take the Final Finish off of your floor. If it is a large area, you could use a Heat Gun...carefully as that also would take the Clear protecting coat off of the floor. I would go with the paint scraper. Not a Putty Knife, a Paint Scraper.
