Is your linoleum black or did you paint it? I have some tan linoleum in the garage and am cureous if it could be painted black.

than big rounded dam is painted while the experimental flap in the side is not.

i used a satin gloss acrylic black spray can... on a slightly sanded surface... given the abuse the area sees i'd say it holds paint very well, although the original color would hide small chips better than a more off color, but it all looks quite good
however in contrast i've had coroplast and other plastic in the same area with similar paint on it that would just flake and chip after a few weeks. even with flexing there's no apparent cracks.
