Same here. Paint will flake up if the floor has any oil or dirt present. I was thinking the same thing then I found some realativly inexpensive floor tiles (about $400 to do my floor) from floorjunkies.com (no affiliation with them). Very durable and can come with me if we ever move again :-)

floor paint
Get your floor nice and clean and use an epoxy floor paint. It will last.

If you are going to to paint, this is the voice of experience.
Check the instructions regarding the tempature.
1. Clean it first with muriatic acid and water.
2. Power wash.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.
4. Use a good quality epoxy paint. Plan on using 50% more than the can says.
5. Finish with 2 coats of epoxy clearcoat.
Be careful with the muriatic acid. Vinal gloves and protect your eyes.

Used Rust-Oleum epoxy garage kit, added Behr non-skid to mix also. Still looks great, no peel. Prep is the key, especially if your floor was sealed. Acid, scrub, rinse (2X), let it dry real good, than work fast (if you can get a second person to edge while you roll, that helps, epoxy has short pot time). Keep cars off floor for a few days. Worse part of job was listening to wife bitch about all the garage stuff out in driveway under tarps

I've used the one part from home depot and it looked great but the first time any bit of gas, coolant or trans fluid got on it the paint flaked and came right off, also it makes your floor very very slick when wet.
