Cynic-al Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I find firwood paint very good. As always though you have to prep the floor properly, they have a good guide and sell various chemicals and cleaning agents to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I used this in the workshop 221321308546 eBay. Seems ok only lifted where oil had soaked into the concrete previously which I can't complain about. Mopped the floor left it to dry then hoovered it before applying the first coat 50/50 with white spririt or thinners can't remember which, then a second full fat coat. Had it down three years now and still looks good despite the forklift doing it's best to scrub it off. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbs Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Echo that!! Painting the floors white and the floor a light grey has transformed my workshop And for my next trick-once I work out which broom to remove from my arras is to do the same as you Ross and paint my floor grey, I've also sprayed the ceiling of the garage too in white matt emulsion and already have the floor paint I got that at anchor surplus the last time i was up in that neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago, They did it for £27 a gallon-not sure wether thats cheap or not to be honest?.

Cyberprog Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 do yourself a favour and paint the floor bright red. you'll thank me when you drop that vital nut/bolt/spring That's a handy trick. But as it would involve removing all the gear, I doubt it'll happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
