Photo finish: How to paint your garage floor

Give your garage floor a showroom gleam with this durable protective coating - by Aaron Clayton

Photo finish: How to paint your garage floor

Once your tools and materials are in order, seal the concrete floor with a state-of-the-art finish that will dramatically brighten your garage. Before applying the coating, clean off any oily patches using a degreaser then wet the entire surface. Mix the supplied bag of concrete etch with water and scrub on with a stiff-bristle brush.

What you’ll need

Scrubbing brush

Floor finishing kit

Paintbrush

Roller frame

Here's how

1 PREPARE MIXTURE Shake pouch from side to side then place it on the ground and roll it from Part A side to Part B to break seal in the middle. Shake pouch and squeeze in from edges for 3 minutes to combine and activate the mix.

2 POUR OUT FIRST RIBBON Snip a corner of the pouch, then about 300mm from back wall, pour out a 60mm-wide ribbon of mix about 1m long.

3 CUT IN AROUND EDGES Working quickly to cover areas about 1.2m square, use a brush to first push mix to edges of floor in back corner of garage.

4 ROLL OUT FINISH Using a foam roller, distribute mix evenly in a W motion. Pour next ribbon 600mm from finished section and roll out another 1.2m square, overlapping the edges. Leave finish to cure for 24 hours before driving onto it.
