Looking for a garage floor paint and was wondering what people recommend.

Its a old rough finish concrete floor so should stick well

Any ideas?

Thanks

We used good old B&Q garage floor paint in red at our last house, painted the walls white as well. the garage door itself was red as well either hammerite or B&Q again

I used PVA to seal, then screwfix trade branded grey floor paint. Worked ok, not as good as some of the epoxy 2 mix stuff you can get (used in garages, mot stations etc) but was ok for home use.

In a previous house I used Screwfix garage floor paint and after a while it started lifting where I parked my car.
My daily driver was always garaged and putting it away with hot tyres resulted in the paint lifting at the contact patch between tyres and floor after a few months.

In my current house I went for a two pack epoxy and whilst it lasted a lot longer I am now starting to suffer the same lifting of paint after 2 - 3 years.

I'll be honest, reading this I never two packed or pvad the floor first and it stayed put. This is through various cars, garage being used as a shed and garage being used as a temporary kennel. Perhaps we were just lucky I don't know, but when we moved out the floor was still just as perfectly painted as it was when we first did it

I'd paint mine if I could find it

I've used stuff from Toolstation before, it will wear off over time (I'm sure most paints will) but a 20 quid tin will do the floor so it's not exactly expensive to re-do.

Don't get the non-slip stuff.

Thanks i will go with screwfix no nonsense floor paint.

I was going to go with the epoxy 2k stuff but apparently you can make a complete mess of it if the temperatures etc arent right....

Psst B&Q and Screwfix are the same company :wink:

Old is good for concrete, if it's just a few months old the paint will lift. Attacking it with a pressure washer first could be a good idea.

Remmers Epoxy BS 3000m or Epoxy BS 3000 SG.

There is some impressive flooring solutions in the garage section of the detailing world website.

Use a proper primer first then it will stick properly.

Used screwfix own brand and seems good so far. I just wacked it on
