To prepare bare garage floors for painting - Newly laid concrete needs to be left alone to set for a month before you can paint it. Use a wire brush to clean the floor and remove dust and dirt. Concrete floors can react to the paint and crack or blister so seal the floor first with a stabilising solution. Or you can dilute the paint with 10% water. To prepare previously painted garage floors - Clean the floor with a wire brush to dislodge dust and dirt and wipe it down with white spirit. Use a large brush, roller or pad to apply the paint. Give the paint a thorough stir. Start at the far end of the garage and paint towards the door. Work in small sections and remember to not paint yourself into a corner! For the best coverage, you’ll need to apply two or three coats. Leave four to six hours between coats for the best effect. The floor will be hardest after 72 hours. That’s when you can start moving your car and things back into the garage.
