Recommendations for best the most durable paint people have found. Even better if it comes in a Subaru blue colour.

I would recomment the epoxy based 2 part systems. I have tried International garage floor paint and it isn't that durable, but certianly up to day to day use. If you start spilling carb cleaner etc it can go soft.

I have tried the Internation garage floor paint and aren't that impressed. Thanks for the suggestion.

i got mine from B&Q in red oxide colour. been on while now and as good as new.:D :D

flowcrete- comes with pigment in the hardener(around 8 colours). Goes on a treat, virtually levels itself. You can achieve a smooth surface using a squeegy to spread.
used some on a bund wall few weeks ago, suitable for light commercial.

International floor paint doesnt resist epoxy glue

nor my tyres :)

I can speak from experience of the Johnson's heavy duty floor paint, available from Screwfix and other places...

I swept and swept and swept, then used a stabiliser base (from Screwfix). 48 hours later, I put a coat on. Then I left it for 6 days with absolutely nothing touching the floor. Then another coat. Then 7 days to cure.

Result? Fairly good... until I put a wet car on it, which lifted paint.

Result? I was ****ing fuming after wasting all that ****ing time for the ****ing stuff to ****ing peel off!

I guess that the floor may have been damp, when I painted it. That's the only thing I can think of.

If I can ever be arsed to go through all that again, I'll just say "balls to it" and use an epoxy based paint (or whatever the stuff is!)

Cheers,
Nick.

Nick.. thats what I want to do.. but youve seen the size of my garage and the state of the floor.. think it may be just cheaper to repaint.. its had about four thick coats though.

Well, after the ball ache of painting the stuff (which is thick stuff and not the easiest to work with on a non-smooth floor) I know for sure that I'll not bother and just go for a different solution with some sort of guarantee! If your floor isn't as bad as ours was, and I think it's considerably smoother, you may be slightly luckier?
