    Any DIY store will sell you garage floor paint and masonry paint for the walls.

    I did my garage when I first moved in, white masonry paint on the walls and battleship gray floor paint, makes it a lot lighter and nicer to work in and the floor paint sealed the concrete nicely. Definitely worth the effort.

    I used masonry paint on the walls but I think you may be ok with emulsion.

    I've never done a garage but did once paint a concrete built shed that was in the garden. Like Jonesya I used masonry paint on the walls (white) & painted the floor. I was very pleased with the result, it was a huge improvement on how it had looked & painting it made it look far, far bigger.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
