Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
10 years ago I did my floor in Rustoleum 2 part epoxy...prep is the key...it still looks decent...tires or grease or ...nothing seems to affect it except for carbide snow mobile studs !!! Got rid of those long ago....you may gaet a small chip if you drop a heavy tool on it ....its as tough as steel though...

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
That was the worst part...make sure it is very very clean and degreased...especially an old floor...I had to use Muriatic acid...careful....and rinse the living crap out of it and let it gas off a few days or a week...any pores with acid in them will create a small bubble during epoxy cure...I put mine on real smooth with a squeegee...don't get trapped in a corner !

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
Let the concrete CURE and keep it CLEAN for a good while and you should wind up with a perfect floor...but let the concrete cook itself out...

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
I had a problem with a floor that was pored in the winter. They added Calcium to keep the concrete from freezing. The finish started blistering a few months later. If your floor was poured in the winter it will have to sealed before coating it. I am finding this out the Hard Way….

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
I think Rustoleum makes a sealer. I was planning on using it just in case. I'm thinking about a fairly light color and putting some of the colored flecks in it. I would like to do a dark color but they just don't reflect enough like when you are under a car. Do they?
My garage floor has been poured for about two months and I won't have it painted until May. I'll give it plenty of time before putting a car on it. I'm putting in two lifts and I'm thinking about painting it before installing the lifts. Or maybe I should put the lifts in first??

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
When you use Muriatic acid you can use soda ash to neturalize it. It is a powder and easy to use. Still rinse like crazy and wait to or three days for the concrete to dry in the pores.
