For most people, the garage is only a storage area. You park your car there, stash your lawn mower and bicycles, and maybe have some tools lying around. It usually has concrete floors and white walls– for a reason. It doesn’t need to be fancy, right? Once you drop off what you need, you pretty much forget about it. However, that does not need to be the case! Garages don’t have to be drab and colorless. By spending some time and adding a little paint, you can customize it how you want. Painted Furniture Ideas can start you off with some tips on how to paint your garage floor:
- The first step is to purchase high quality paint or epoxy that is specifically designed for concrete. Using a paint not specifically for concrete will leave you with cracked paint that will peel off.
- Before you start painting, it is important to thoroughly clean the floor. Remove any previous coats of paint then sweep the floor and scrub with soap and water.
- Seal the concrete
- Apply a Primer – The primer gives your paint a sturdy base to stick to.
- Apply paint
- Allow the floor to Cure.
