garage floor paint recommendations

megla · Post by **megla** » Fri Aug 26, 16 10:10 pm

just done my through garage this week! 9ftx35ft. I found 5ltrs of Leyland floor paint came in two parts. including 1ltr of hardner. the base colour being white. It went down easily with brush and roller and when dry appeared rubbery. alas it only covered about 75%. when looking in the shed I found a 5ltr tin of white smooth Sandtex, masonary paint. went down a treat. can really recommend this to keep down damp and dust. also I had in stock was some industrial carpet tiles I put down. looking all pretty now fit to rent out to our coloured brothers!

now that looks good but how strong is it when it is used, with jacking up the car and other works like this.

It's been fine for me, it is a rubbery type surface so you could cut it with sharp things. But as a home thing and just doing odd jobs it's been great. I wanted something other than bare cold concrete under the car.

Wish my garage offered that much room to walk around the car.
When we move a decent garage is the number one priority for both of us!

Cheers guys for all the input.

I'm going to do it in stages

Seal it first then as money allows paint it.

I have some floor tiles so will utilise them as well

Moving in day is next weekend. Will put some pics up

Might also have scored a series 3 landrover in bits....

Ours is a double garage, it's supposed to be all mine but pointless gym stuff is taking over! Length wise it handily is a couple of inches longer than the Charger.

Our single is just 8mm longer than the Demon...
Getting it in and out is err... an excersise in precision!

I couldn't tell you how many times I wondered in and out of the house with a tape measure, sometimes in the middle of the night before we decided to press the button and go for it!

Luckily there is room at the sides in ours so getting in is no bother. It's just handy the length is right, I think our is 17 feet long.

Room at the side? Yeah... I can imagine that'd be nice too!
One day...

Like a glove!

You look like you have room to flatten that garage and build one a bit bigger?

Probably not going to get a C body in there,but hey ya have it covered.

On the subject of floor coatings I did mine with a clear type product, it went on easy, it does seal the floor, but with snow and ice it gets very slick,like ball bearings slick,not sure if I would do it again
