I'm thinking of painting the garage floor. Why? So that eventually when oil ends up getting spilled on the floor it's easier to clean it up. Any suggestions? Stuff to use, or stuff to avoid.
Thanks again guys!

Yeah, we got some stuff from Totem, it gets painted on. We never did this initially when we built the house with attached garage so had quite a bit more prep work. We had to do an acid wash etc to get rid of any dirt etc. Anyhow, since your garage will be brand new, you can put it directly on your fresh surface of dried cement. The floor did have to be completely dry and clean. I forget the name of the product, but it was from Totem. It was some industrial stuff, so if you drive in the garage and the tires on your vehicle are hot, it wont adhere to them. Totem will know what it is, it is in the paint section. We had a painter do it as we were having other exterior work done and he had used the product before. More than one brand name of this product but it was recommended by us to go with the Totem product.
