Garage floor

Post by Brewery » April 11th, 2014, 4:49 pm

This is waaay off topic but I'm hoping someone has had some experience with this.

My garage floor has taken a beating and what used to be nice clean concrete is now covered in paint, rust stains, "dark spots", pretty much everything.... Does anyone have any insight on an easy (hopefully inexpensive) way to clean it. Tried a power washer and had very little affect. Now I am trying to sand out the paint stains with an orbital sander.

I painted mine. Couple gallons of exterior grey. It will scratch over time of course expecially with metal work going on but its the best ive done.

Crazy D, how does it hold up to weld splatter? I considered epoxy painting it but didn't know how well it would stand up.

They make industrial floor coatings. (Might be epoxy). Check out Lowes. Some will definitely hold up to sparks and spatter, but make sure you fill the cracks with sand and caulk em first. :beer:

Yea like smokinff said, its an industrial. What i mean by metal working is draging and dropping and this and that on the floor.

My son did his garage floor with the lowes garage floor stuff. He's a Ducati motorcycle nut so the have some kind of flake you can sprinkle around. He did that 4 yrs ago and with floor jacks and motorcycle lift tables it's has held up perfectly


Make no mistake, there ain't no powder in this Puff ! And... I'm not really a crazy person but I play one in real life
