For those doing up their garage...

Im currently painting my garage floor.

Im thinking of buying a 2 pack paint as its supposed to be more duarble to petrol etc?

Can anyone recommend anything else to use and what would be best to seal the floor with first? Its a concrete floor.

Cheers

I would have thought normal floor paint would have done the job aslong as the correct primer adhisive is used? I cant imagine there will be that much fuel etc all over the floor?

Aldi are selling garage floor paint at the mo

Remember to prime it with a mixture of pva glue and water first.
Floor paint is all the same, the first few coats will most likely take a few days each to dry so be patient.
Give it atleast 3-4 good coats tho.

If the floor is covered in oil stains etc then degrease it and steam clean or pressure wash it first as it will react with the paint and not stick. .
Hope this helps mate.

Been after one for ages bud. Any old dealer signs go for funny money.

Floor paint all the way. Pour the tin over the floor. brush it about and forget... I spilt 3lts of petol on mine and it's only diss coloured it.

Thanks Benn, did you seal it first or just straight on with the paint?

clean the floor, wash it, scrub it, then dry it, then brush any dust off.. then follow manufacturers instructions.

Brushed it off, painted it.
