best paint is warehouse floor paint, designed to have fork trucks going over it and leaking oil from the trucks, its not cheap but you wont need much, have a look at specialist floor paints, a garage size floor wont cost that much. you can buy orange forecourt paint real cheaply but it wont last, i tried. :lol: bare concrete will dust and is toxic to breath :o

as littlefeller says the industrial paint you get is epoxy resin not cheap but hard wearing as hell.

180 sq feet would not be to expensive, i did a warehouse @ 6000 sq feet, cost around £3000

gives a harder wearing finish and its much more nonslip. you can buy it ready made but its cheaper to just buy a bag of sand and wash it of dust and let it dry out.
