paint for garage floor

smcqis

Where would be the best place to get some cheap red paint to do my single garage floor?

Also how big a tin would I need? Im only thinking one coat as its been painted before but could do with a freshen up

international garage floor paint google it for your location 5ltr will easily cover a garage floor. slap it on nice and thick leave it 2 days to fully dry and stick a 2nd coat on. we use it on exterior path way and garage floor repaint every 3-4 yrs. but if you put a car on any painted floor it will pull paint of the floor.

Toolstation do a range of floor paints.

I have used the polyurethane floor paint and followed the manufacturers instructions.

Two thinner coats or more will yield better results than thick coats.

My floor was dusty and patchy oil stained concrete so it was first thoroughly cleaned with Wickes Brick & Mortar Cleaner, which has to be diluted because it's an acid then rinsed. A lot.

With your existing floor you will need to remove any loose paint, brush thoroughly and then clean it using sugar soap and then rinse and rinse and rinse before re-painting.

There is rarely such a thing as cheap paint these days and if it is cheap then I wouldn't advise using it.

Lidl were doing some about a fortnight ago at £15 for 5l.
