Painting the garage floor. QUESTIONS.
so about a decade ago our garage floor was painted. As you can see, years of aging and car tires have caused the paint to chip and flake away.
has anyone REpainted their floor? If so how do you go about stripping the old paint? Any recommendations for doing a better job this time? What does your garage floor look like? Eric

One reason to use the epoxy-based industrial floor coatings is because they are resistant to the heat and friction caused by the hot sticky tires that tread upon the surface. Ordinary porch paint won't do that (hence the results you see in your pic).
I don't think you need to remove the paint that's there now, but you do need to do an acid wash to give the next coat of paint the proper surface for adhesion. Try www.griotsgarage.com for a superior garage coating product. Actually when I plan to renovate my garage, I'm having a professional concrete company put down a layer of colored concrete to look like tile. Expensive as hell, but it will be worth the effort when it's done!

The new shop has commercial oil resistant carpet. I think it looks pretty good. It's just hard to use a creeper on it though!

Rustoleum has an epoxy garage painting "kit" that sets up in a day or so, which is also heat and solvent resistant.
