Whats the best paint to put on a garage floor - not for me btw, for my sister (who i will be borrowing her garage to fix up a new lude in there soon i hope

), she wants to get the floor painted that will cure in colder temperatures, and shelves up before i get a car in

When I was in industry, we used to use a make called Coovar, it is available from Brewers and can be bought in a selection of colours. They also do a non slip range which we used to use in the engineering workshop. It's very durable.

Hay bud we use a pealable floor covering in the paint shop. That is like a latex type stuff an is hard wearing. Can also remove when finished fixing car

Don't forget to use Acid-Wash on the floor first or you'll never get all the grease out.

It's also advisable to use a floor sealant prior to putting the paint on, so that the surface doesn't absorb all the paint.

Another option is this kind of stuff...

Machine mart is a good price but you can find it slightly cheaper at other places too, e.g.;

I've been toying with the idea of this for the barn instead of paint. It's nicer to work on and helps keep out the cold.
