Garage floor paint?
Reciently I read about some floor paint "Grey" that was very strong.
I don't mean the $485 Epoxy in HR. I can't find the article, can anyone help? I want to do my garage soon. Any suggestions ? It has to be a hard multi purpose surface. $200 sound about right.

Rustoleum makes a floor paint. Make shure the floor is clean from any oils or the paint will lift. The kit has a cleaner included but you may want to use some muriatic acid to ten parts of water. This will usually remove the oil and etch the surface. Get it at Home Depot or Lowes. About the best for the price.

I did mine 8 months ago with the Rustoleum kits. Three kits were more than enough for a three car garage. I cleaned and rinsed 3-4 times. The paint went down easily and stayed down. Very happy with the results. I would use this product again. A clean floor is the key.

HomeDepot paint - the label says "garage and driveway epoxy"
It's important that you clean the concrete with etch-cleaner ($14 for a gallon) -> the paint is only $25 for a gallon and they can tint it to almost any color.
Two gallons paint, two gallons cleaner, small stuff --> less than $100 for a two car garage.

I used the regular home-depot brand garage floor paint. I think it was $18 to $23 a gal. The floor look great. I did a friends w/the U-Coat-It epoxy paint. Pain in the *ss job, costs $$$ and doesn't look that much better. In fact its a little thin in some spots & looks like **** and you can just touch it up w/out sanding & redoing the two coat process.
