I reply to every thread Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Following on from the lighting thread I wonder if anyone has recomendations for garage floor paint. I'd like to watch some dry wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin H Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 If you're going to watch it dry, then I'd suggest a low odour paint - water based if possible. I'm sure someone will be able to give you the comparative figures for toxicity, and drying time in various different humidities of air. wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 AVES - you can (must?) get special garage floor paint - I went down to the local do it all and bought some there, lots of different colours (not that thread again) if you have concreet floor you will need to prep it and also put on some sealer all in all it cost me 50 quid to do a small poxy garage, however I cleaned the garage for the first time a couple of weeks back and everything brushed off, and it is easy to mop up any little spillages! it does smell rather badly and I got lots of dirty looks from her indoors (I can say that now) for a week after. In fact she has recently complained that I spent more love and attention on kitting out the garage than any other room in the house.

EFA Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Ceramic paint around 10mm thick is pretty good unless you drop a flywheel on it.......

elie boone Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Aves, the best paint for a garage floor is epoxy but it is expencive. It wont wear, even the wheels of a hydraulic jack will not wear the epoxy paint. Only negative point is that it may get a bit slippery when wet if you have a leather sole on your shoes. The price is about 80£ for 5 litres and for a single garage you whould need about 3 litres. Other option is that you come and get some for free ! Meanwhile you could hamster chocolats and beer over here and that is in Belgium ofcourse. biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Even with a properly prepped, sealed and painted floor you may find, as I did, that when you park the 7 with warm tyres then move it again a few days later Hey presto!!!!! 4 neat little tyre footprints of bare concrete floor again sad.gif What's more your nice Yokos (in my case) have got a nice patch of paint on them which is stuck like 's**t to a blanket'. I now park the 7 on 4 pieces of Wiltons finest!!! I went for the pale grey to improve the lighting which together with the brilliant white walls and foil faced roof insulation works a treat.

I reply to every thread Posted November 23, 2001 Author Share Posted November 23, 2001 Far out! I was joking boys. I painted my floor a few years ago with B&Q garage floor paint. I'm sure others will find your comments useful though! Arnie - don't assume that the flywheel is an inteferance fit! Anyone noticed how flat Norfolk is?

EFA Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Not as flat as the Netherlands or Kylie's chest. Fat Arn The NOW PROVEN R500 Eaterid=red> See the Lotus Seven Club 4 Counties Area Website hereid=green> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
