Garage Floor Paint -- Save Money

When it comes time to decide on your garage flooring, there are a few different ways that you can do it. Lots of people will go for garage floor paint. Not only will this get you some color, but it's also a great garage floor coating. The floor will be protected from chemical stains, as well as about anything else you can throw at it, and stay looking good for years. As there are lots of brand names around to choose from, this blog will only take a look at a few for the time being.

Rust-Oleum Garage Floor Coating

Known more for their rust-proofing paint, Rust-Oleum also makes a fairly popular garage floor coating kit. Their EPOXYShield series is special for a few reasons, some good, some not. For one, it is only available in tans and browns. If this isn't good for you, then you'll want to look elsewhere. To some, though, that's exactly what they are looking for, or they don't really care, so this might just be the right kit for them. As an extra bonus, this kit even comes with an instructional DVD to help you install your garage floor paint. EPOXYShield is stain resistant and water proof, of course, just like almost all epoxy garage flooring coatings. There are a lot of reviews for this particular product as well, and most of them are quite good.

Weatherbeater Garage Floor Paint

Weatherbeater sounds a bit more appropriate for a garage floor coating, don't you think? First off, there is no DVD, though that's not exactly unusual. Also, the ratings are not as good, but that could be due to installation screw-ups – you really never know. This kit does come in various colors, and has color chips if you should want to use them. Among the things that Weatherbeater claims their coating is resistant to are gasoline, salt, and oil.

Quikrete Garage Floor Coating

Quikrete is a well known name when it comes to concrete coatings, and their garage floor coating is very popular. There are a few very obvious reasons for this, too. For one, the kit can be had in one of over 40 colors. That's pretty impressive, and they even come with color flakes. Quikrete claims that their garage floor coating is the toughest out there – twice as tough as regular concrete. Unfortunately, reviews are hard to find, and the kit is a bit more expensive than the others, though not by much. Considering so many people do not review products that worked out well, only ones that didn't, no news may actually be good news. You really won't know until you try to use it for your garage flooring.

Garage Flooring Paint

Garage floor paint will be, by far, the most difficult of any garage floor coating that you can install. It's worth it though, because not only is it cheap, it's also extremely durable. If you want to save money, then this is the way to go, especially considering an entire single car garage can be coated with less than $75. If you add those savings to what you will not be paying on maintenance for your garage flooring down the line, garage floor paint is definitely worth the meager price.
