Anyone know a good paint for a garage floor?

i am looking to paint my garage floor it is rarely going to be used to park a car anyone have a not so expensive idea on how and what to use?Anyone know a good paint for a garage floor?
Both Home Depot and Lowe's have a really good selection of garage floor paints in several different price points. You may want to seal your garage floor before you do anything else. When I was shopping for this I did notice that most of the colors available were in various shades of gray.Anyone know a good paint for a garage floor?
go to home depot and ask for the 2 part epoxy it will last longer and and hold up better to high traffic and is not slick when wet
Yes, I use Behr Masonry paint from home depot. It lasts for about 2-3 years. Try to do 2 coats. You can also have colors mixed in, but grey looks good.
Use a two part epoxy from a paint store. Do not use any water based or acrylic epoxies or paint, because the heat from your tires will peel the paint. Before painting, you will have to acid etch the concrete with muriatic acid. Pour half gallon acid in 5 gallon bucket and fill with approx. 3 gallons water. Next, pour out on concrete and scrub with push broom. do the whole garage and rinse when finished. Wait until completely dry before painting. Wear gloves when handling acid, it will burn or irritate your skin if contacted. Good luck.
If not going to have standing water,any epoxy will do.
You want to use a floor paint, go to your local hardware store and inquire
USE AN OIL BASED-IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME TO DRY AND HAVE REALLY GOOD VENALATION, YOU MIGHT GET FIXATED,YES YOU MAY WANT TO POWERWASH IT, LET IT DRY. THEN PRIMER OIL BASED ALSO. THEN PAINT.
Use epoxy paint, and make sure your floor is spotless before applying.
Use Rust-o-leum's 2-part garage paint epoxy available in the paint dept at your local hardware store. Easy to use and gives that professional look. BTW I don't work for rustoleum, but for HD.
I prefer using Pratt and Lambert Oil Base Porch and Deck Enamel. It is a very good product.
they do carry a porch and floor paint and just sweep down the garage floor and if oil stains clean well let dry and get rolling maybe one coat will cover it looks good after you do it
check out the jcwitney web site....
use an oil-based paint
Get a standard primmer (Walmart $14/gal) and a standard EXTERIOR paint in whatever color you choose (also about $14/gallon).
The kits from Home Depot or Lowe's are good; however, before you do anything, you want to tape a piece of plastic (like a trash bag) to the floor for a couple of days. When you remove it, if the floor under it, or the underside of the bag has moisture on it, you're gonna be out of luck.


Paint won't stick to it.
We have used water-based (latex) concrete floor paints for years in our machine shop, and they work incredibly well, indoors or out. These are not like latex wall or house paints. They are thin, the finish is thin- and really tough.





We use one by Valspar paints now, but have tried several and all worked well. About $20, very good coverage. Available at Lowes, among others.





If you have oil on the floor, be sure and do careful prep.
Menard's sell garage floor covering kits with clear instructions. It will make you proud.
Buy the ';best'; floor paint you can afford and follow the instructions to the letter. Clean, clean clean. Painting is PREP


If it says primer - prime. May sound costly, but if it lasts 20years big deal, it was worth it.
Go to the paint store, not HD or Lowe's, they people there don't know jack.


At a paint store, they will tell you how to wash the surface with a mild-acid solution, and give you the proper paint for this situation.





Now there are Acid stains for concrete. Paint will flake because it cannot breathe the moisture through.
