Fat Thor Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wanted to paint my garage floor as I built it last year and is just bare concrete and keeps dusting. Anyone got any recommendations? Jim Quote
Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 painting mine this summer! garacoat, takes a while to dry so waiting for sun to leave car outside.. got large dust sheets down at the mo. Quote
greenandmean Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Primed the floor with a pva solution then used floor paint (light grey so I could see washers/bolts that had dropped) when I did mine about 10 years ago, still good a few bald spots but thats all. Word of warning despite having the double door open I still felt as if I had smoked a few joints when I had finished. Quote
Terryathome Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Would not recommend Johnsons floor paint as where the wheels sit the paint has come up. Apart from that better then the dust. Going to scrape all the paint up at some point and tiling the whole garage floor. Terry Quote
User0083 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 My garage floor needs re-painting. But I'm moving in next six months or so... I'm going to buy carpet and just chuck it in there! Quote
Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 carpet in a garage that's a bit posh... Quote
darve Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 mines carpeted great for the swarf to stick to nice for the knees though Quote
SootySport Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 You need to paint the ceiling and walls as well. Quote
D7PNY Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Carpet tiles in mine! Old ones from an office refurb so cost nothing to! Swarf does stick to it as mentioned above and you look a bit odd hoovering the garage but apart from that it's great. Dave Quote
FILFAN Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Don't get that garage floor paint from b&q. I pva'd my floor and gave it 2 coats and 2 years later it comes off in big flakes just with the Hoover. Quote
User0083 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Carpet tiles!!! Cracking idea! Swarf, damage, burn, tea, paint... Etc. just take it out and switch it for a spare! Oooo... Going on eBay Quote
D7PNY Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 One of my better ideas for sure. Carpet tiles!!! Cracking idea! Swarf, damage, burn, tea, paint... Etc. just take it out and switch it for a spare! Oooo... Going on eBay Quote
User0083 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 A box of 64 25cm x 25cm tiles is £10... Time to measure up and work out if this is a good plan... Many other tiles, why I need to work out what size I need. Quote
