jeppi26 1,855 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I wouldn't bother if I was you, I painted my garage floor with 'johnsons garage floor paint' and wish I hadn't! The stuff I used is slippery as fukc you walk in there with wet trainers on your going arse over tit!!! Can't you mix sharp sand in with it to ad a rough surface?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 tere are loads of decent step/tile/floorpaints available, i just did my boiler room with one made by rustins, washed it out with the hose first then when it had dried just painted on. easy. nice finish, not slippery and seems durable. there is a reason that floor paint is different to masonry paint............

dmick 22 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 hi would that oil based tarmac sealer be any good for it , seems cheap enough so would be able to do it yearly , not for kennels just the shed part , the concrete is s##t as i done it myself so would be a waste putting paint on it .

Foxpack 2 7,848 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 This is about best I've used. The best stuff to use is two pac stuff. I nearly always use a oil based undercoat to. But not always necessary. You want the stuff that goes off fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,453 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Masonary paint is just that, it will cover/protect for a while but it is not designed for traffic, you could put emulsion/gloss/woodtain on your concrete floor if you like, but it isn't designed for the job and will not be as effective as floor paint. Having said that floor paint needs to be applied correctly and even then, depending on traffic and wear type don't expect it to last forever! ATB! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
