Default Garage Floors

i have an older detached garrage or carrige house that i keep my cars and toys in. The floor is cement and in decent shape but it has never been painted and looks rather boring and dull.

What have you used for paint products?

anyone use those snap together floor tiles?

thanks for the help guys...

The shop where I work has a concrete floor. The guys in there paint it every three months or so. It looks great for a while, at least until the forklifts have their way with it. They just use yellow or gray paint (depending on which zone). It isn't the best look, but considering it's price and ease I'd say you should consider it.

I went with this product and I'm very happy. Do follow the directions and the majority of the work involved is in the prep work.

Race deck is supposed to be very good. I know a lot of people who are happy with it

This was posted in Orlando a few days ago, I havent seen it personally but trust me, Avionics has good taste and would not go anywhere near a product that was not up to par.
Looks like the Racedeck is the way to go.

I have the epoxy paint from home depot on my floor and it sucks. Looks good for about 2 months then the sticky tires on the S makes it peel up.

Man, and I thought oil spots and discolorations in the cement added "charm."

I went to a clients house, and as I was detailing his car, and rolled it in the garage to continue the detail, he was mopping up the tire marks from the dirty water on the wheels (he had race-deck).

Brings a whole new meaning to a clean garage
