Hi there first time posting, I own a small car repair garage in south Scotland and I’m looking to get the floor painted. Had it painted about 5 years ago with some floor paint we bought off a man with a van! Anyways, the painted floor lasted about two weeks max. So my question is, can anyone recommend a good floor paint that is heavy duty. Thanks in advance. Mike

I have to admit ive used expensive 2 pack stuff with primer and bells and whistles several times. Its always been curse word! If anything its too hard, the slightest damage causes it to chip up in sheets.. I will be going back to cheap single pack stuff next time.

I used regal 2 pack epoxy, the result looks great but hasn't had much use yet, id phone the company and talk to them about the best way to prep the floor as getting it right will make it last much longer.

I don’t care what brand it is or where you buy it from, it will still come off in about two weeks. It always lifts off in high use areas, dragging trolley jacks, axle stands, screwing tyres lock to lock, brake fluid spills etc etc. I’ve worked in loads of workshops of various sizes with various types of work load, none of it ever lasts. I even painted my unit floor & it only gets walked on, guess what, worn off, never again |

Painting the floor makes it look neat, presentable and you feel more better within the surroundings. Trust me.
Yes most paints to may come off. But that's where you have to be careful with your tools and dragging your equipment around.
If everything is flat, then there's less chances of paint lifting if you were to slide a jack etc over it.
Preparation is key here. If surfaces are clean and Flat, you don't throw your tools on floor, surely it'll Last.
Just my view on this.
