Re: Garage floor sealant?
Also, I thought I'd mention something you might want to consider and
that is to stain the floor. You can stain then seal your garage and have a killer industrial or high end look out there. The stain also can give a mottled look which will hide dirt and imperfections much better than a uniform paint job.

Re: Garage floor sealant?
How would POR-15 do?
I know, from spilling some on concrete, that it is very resistant about coming off. lol and like everyone else said..............prep the floor well! When my garage was new, I used concrete floor sealer. Looked good for a little while, but after a while and with the help of chemicals that I used, scrubbing and cleaning, I don't think the sealant exists on the floor anymore. :-( just a thought, dave "Matthew Crouse" <mcrouse@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:74f2e02b.0310210855.2587e903@posting.google.c om... > I am about to purchase a new home, and I have a Jeep (aptly nicknamed > Leaks n' Squeaks), another fairly leaky vehicle (78 MBZ 280SE), and > two kids who love to make art and spill things.

Re: Garage floor sealant?
Home Depot and Lowe's have a new floor sealant. it's an epoxy mix paint. It's
new and I don't know of anybody using it yet. I did a shop floor with a Sherwin Williams epoxy paint about 10 years ago. The floor after a good mopping looks too wet to walk on. It has a bulletproof coating. It's a scrennprinting shop and there's tons of chemicals and the floor is mint. But if your watchign pennies it's probably not for you. It's a 3 part mix that runs about $100 for the least amount plus it takes abotu 3 days to fully cure/dry.
