How to Paint a Garage Floor

As with any re-decorating or painting project the key is preparation. How To Paint a Garage Floor? How Much Garage Floor Paint Do I Need?

It is important to make sure your floor is clear of any damage or clutter and the surface is fully clean and dry. It also important to pay attention to the floor’s temperature, if the temperature is too low the product will not get a good bond. In comparison you don’t want to choose a day with high humidity (air temperature isn’t always the same as floor temp).

Apply your first coat of garage floor paint and let it completely dry in an aired-out area, all of the paint we offer are easy to apply.

You may then find yourself asking How Long Will My Garage Floor Take to Dry? This is completely dependant on which product you choose. Different floor coatings have different drying times, in addition to the temperature of the concrete. As a general rule garage or concrete floor paint will usually dry in around 24 hours but should not be walked on for 2-3 days.

Once it is fully dry, then apply a secondary coat and ensure an even covering and protection. Once the second layer is dry, you can then start using the area as normal.
