Sealing Concrete Floor

Floor paint is an easy answer. Etch with muratic acid first and it'll hold just fine. I haven't used it, but when buying my paint last month I saw a floor paint specifically for garages that is suppose to wear well even with car tire traffic.

I suggest the "epoxy" type garage floor paint. It works great for me.

Yea floor paint , but use oil base, or poly base, latex wont hold up under car tires

May I ask which brand do you use? I am setting up to epoxy 1200 sq. ft of basment floor but cannot decide which type of epoxy and where to buy it from. I am not willing to pull the trigger without some solid recommendations (it would be nice to hear from anyone who has had an epoxy coated floor for a long time - say 5 years or longer).

Thanks, Jim

i used the epoxy product from home depot in my basement (by rustoleum). they make a kit for garage and another one for basement. if i remember correctly the garage one has an additional step for removing oil and grease before applying, while the basement one was just a "wash the floor first" prep.

i was very impressed with the results and it was quite easy to do. can't vouch for the longevity, as i only did it a month or so ago, but it seems very durable. we're using it as the floor of our new work-out area. cost $35, cheap solution! it helps to have 2 people, one to roll & the other to toss the (optional) confetti.
