So, the mrs wants the garage floor painted. Any suggestions on what to use? I just want a simple grease/oil resistant coating as my teener leaks a bit. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I put down the Rustoleum Epoxy about 3 years ago. It's held up real well actually. I have had some flaking near the garage door entrance, but I believe that was due to my prep, and no the product.

I have rolled, pulled, thrown everything possible across it and no flaking.. I think it's about $50.00 per gallon come with the catalyst and fleck chips for the textured look. I know there are companies that will come out and do it, runs around $1,200.00Cleaned with muratic acid, and a scrapper for the paint drippings etc. let dry and apply... I have a small two car garage, and I used two gallons.I think three gallons would have been better for a little extra protection. Role one direction.

When we pulled the motor onthe car, car cleaner and brake fluid dripped on it. I cleaned it up almost right away, so I don't know how well it would hold up. I have a pan under the car now soI don't have to worry about oil, so I can't say how well it would stand up to that.

It makes the garage look real clean when it's done.. Worth it. Will see how long it stands up to the abuse.
My .02....
Good luck
