Garage Floor Paint


I\'ve got one of those extra-large garages that many people seem to favor these days. It\'s big enough for two cars, plus there\'s room left over for storage shelves and bins, as well as my workbench and tools. I actually spend a lot of time out there working on my motocross bikes and various other projects, so I\'m interested in keeping the place clean and organized.

 


I\'m particularly worried about the cement flooring because there are already a bunch of oil and grease stains scattered around. I don\'t want to have more serious issues further down the road, which is why I\'m now looking into buying some garage floor paint for added protection.

Several of my friends have fixed up their garages, with some of them using tiles and some using paints and epoxies. I asked for their opinions and suggestions before making my decision, and ended up choosing garage floor paint over tiles because I want a long-lasting solution that will hold up through extreme wear and tear. Although those interlocking tiles that most home improvement stores sell are a cheaper option, I get the feeling that I\'d end up having to replace them every so often, which is not something I want to do. I would rather go all out with garage floor paint that will last for years and years.

Garage floor paint is specially formulated to resist the different types of materials likely to be spilled on it, such as motor oil, gasoline, grease, dirt, and grime. Rather than soaking in, these contaminants can easily be washed off, keeping the garage floor paint looking as bright and shiny as the day it was applied. This is exactly the kind of protection I\'m after, so I\'m sure I\'m making the right choice here.

Anyway, I just ran a quick search and found lots of places where I can buy discount garage floor paint online for about half off the retail price, so I\'m not worried about going over budget here. All I have to do now is take some measurements so I know how much to buy, pick out a color, throw in some epoxy coating, and I\'ll be ready to do some painting.

If you\'re like me and think that garages are for more than just parking cars, then I suggest you take care of that space by putting down protective flooring. Whether you go with garage floor paint like I did or opt for tiles instead, at least you\'re making some kind of effort at preservation -- and that\'s what counts!

Behind The Lens With Brian O'Connor

Meet Brian O'Connor: Since my early twenties I have been interested in both photography and jazz. Photography started with the purchase of a secondhand (used, preowned) 35mm Ilford Sportsman camera at A 6 ($9) (one week's wages then). Three shutter speeds, no metering, guesswork focusing. The next purchase was A 12 ($18) on a separate exposure meter. This proved to be the best investment made ...
