Garage Paint

Sep 16, 2004 7 Replies

What paint or stain is best to use on a garage floor. New house three years old. Couple of stains from oil,trash that leaked out, and god know what. What to clean it up a bit and make it easier when there is a spill to clean it up.



I know it is all in the prep work, will clean and acid etch. But my head is spining from all the products. One part epoxy from Behr, two part kits from Rustolum, concrete stain from Behr and Sherman Williams. Just don't know which will hold up the best. Fred


They seem to change the formula from time to time so about all I can suggest is I used a two part epoxy (Rustolum) and it worked fine. Now they have a one part.

That's an easy one. For years and years it's been two part epoxies. The one component types aren't even close to the performance you get from the reactive two component types. In addition, the adhesion of two part systems is superior. Makes sense to go with the well proven technology. Cheers,

The two part epoxy from Griot's garage

Looks interesting, but I couldn't find on the Web site anything about cost and where to buy it.
