Concrete floor paint

[shed]

For best results put a wall stabiliser on the floor to seal it I use santex water or oil base then thin down the floor paint with white spirt for the first coat,then second coat it next day .

My Mrs painted my garage floor while I was away on a trip and the bike was out the way (thumbs)

She used this and really pleased with it:

Found Johnsons cheaper than Leyland locally (thumbs)

We used to have a bakery, and the best floor paint we found was a two pack that was extremely hard wearing. Sorry can't remember name but I would think any two pack would do.....steve

Two pack epoxy is tough stuff and provided you brush the floor for dust beforehand and it has no oil or water ingrained it will last for years.

As to the carpet I take it you don't get many oil stains then :laugh:

I painted my garage floor, make unknown, but always put old carpet over it, helps to keep it warmer (a bit) in winter.
The area I park the Brit Iron appears to be more waterproof than the other parts!
The workshop will get a new (old) carpet this week as replacing the lounge carpet.

I got on with it today, had to paint the walls first. Got the first coat done today, second coat tomorrow

Lovely job Bob.......there's some big gaps around that garage door mind!

Wait until you get a load of cats paw prints going from one end to the other :laugh:

The only down side with a painted floor is if you park a car with hot tyres on it the paint sticks & when you move the car the paint lifts, after that happened to me l covered the floor in 3mm rubber checker plate sheeting, nice to si on when working on car/bike & nice & grippy!!
