The garage floor is concrete and every time we have been in there, we leave a trail of concrete dust footprints everywhere.
I’m thinking I need to paint the concrete floor. Does anyone have any recommendations for products and any tips for technique?
There might be a car in there one day if I ever have one worth pinching. Currently it’s only used for storage.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52729411","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mark_Hickman"},"datePublished":"2024-05-11T09:24:01.000Z","text":"Just google floor paint and you paint it just like any other paint, cut in around the edge with a brush and roll the centre.
Clean up the dust first by brushing it all out then i usually hoover it too ( especially around edges and corners where it builds up )
Make sure you do a good few coats and dont drive cars on it for a week"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52730013","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TristanDeCoonha"},"datePublished":"2024-05-11T11:36:42.000Z","text":"As long as you are not going to be turning the steering wheel upon entry into the garage, then why not try carpet?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52730610","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"wpj"},"datePublished":"2024-05-11T13:47:31.000Z","text":"amazon.co.uk/Ron…h=1

I used grey paint on my concrete floor and even with foot traffic it's started to come away (I cleaned the floor first), I wished I used an epoxy paint, preferably 2 pack as it's so much harder wearing."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52736017","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"playdumb"},"datePublished":"2024-05-12T17:09:19.000Z","text":"The lazy way - have separate footwear when in the garage.
