How To Get Paint Off A Painted Garage Floor

Bought my house 3 years ago and someone who owned it before us painted the garage floor with what appears to be just regular paint.

How to get paint off a painted garage floor.

Removing garage floor paint is the recommended option if the paint is old chipping and flaking in these cases the old paint is too damaged to be used as a base coat for a new coat. Mix the paint well and apply a thin even first coat. Cut in along the edges of your garage with a brush and then use a roller with a medium nap to apply the rest of the paint. One common remedy for an unattractive garage floor is to have it resurfaced and painted.

Paint spills on a concrete floor can be vanquished with commercial cleaners. Hot tires will pull the paint off water will corrode the surface further settling will cause the paint to crack. Well after 3 years of driving on it it is chipping off. Repainting a garage floor is a fairly straightforward process and a job that most homeowners will have to tackle at one time or another.

First use a stiff brush and a paint scraper to loosen the paint and vacuum up all debris. Let the first coat dry thoroughly about 24 hours. When selecting paint for your garage floor make sure to choose an epoxy paint created especially for garage floors. As most garage floors are made of concrete epoxy is the most common type of paint used for this project.

Epoxy paint resists grease and oil which can stain your garage floor.
