Floor Sealers - Yes, I'm serious

[Alspos]

Howdy All,

I am building a new garage for myself. I need/would like to seal or paint the floor. Any tips or suggested products?

Be nice if it was a light colour and not mega expensive. Been googling and found these, but like anything, a bit of research qucikly becomes an information overload.....

umm, didnt read the links but from what i can remember from a thread on another forum, go for a white paint but dont get any grippy shit, it makes the floor painfull to lie on and doesnt do as much as you would want, but this is 3rd hand info in a bad memory.......

floor paint works quite well on floors. I tried to paint the roof with it but it fell off and ended up on the floor anyway. was a long time ago and I don’t know what it was called, but I do know my boss at the time got it, but I don’t know where he got it from. I do know it was in a white tin, but I cant remember what was marked on the tin. I do know it was proper floor paint, but I cant remember what was so good about it. I do know you need to clean even a new floor with water and hydraculic acid, but I don’t know how to spell hydra-clor-ick. I do know almost every large workshop uses it so paint shops must know about it, but I don’t know any paint shops. I do know all this is totally useless to you, but I just cant seem to stop typing......

For anybody's information.
Nutech Pave Coat Concrete Sealer - Light grey. 10 litres + 4 litres thinners + 1 litre hydrochloric acid = $125

Looks nice Al. How many square meters is that for $125?

[Alspos]

Garage is 7.5m x 5m (37.5 sq m)
The can says 4 sq m per litre for two coats. It's a bit confusing written like that though.

But I used about 8 litres to complete (4.7 sq m per litre) I probably didn't need to thin the first coat as much as they said to....

Awesome I'll keep that in mind for when the shed goes up.
