Clean the floor let it dry or just give it a basic sweep if not that dirty then paint with masonry paint

hi, broom the floor as good as you can, you can never really get it spotless, there will always be some dust left on it, but as long as its very minimal you should be ok, if you have got a leaf blower, blow the dust out of the corners, then you are ready to paint, you can buy the proper garage floor paint, use a brush to cut around the edge and use a roller with a long handle for the rest............and remember to start at the back and work your way back to the door.........lol

You dont want to be putting masonary paint on a concrete floor!!...use a bog standard oil based concrete floor paint...give floor a good sweep...cut in the edge...then pour from the tin onto the floor and roll it out with a roller...piece of piss

Good for you mate...I've been a Painting and Decorating contractor for 30 year...painted miles and miles of industrial unit floors, workshops, garages, boiler rooms you name it...never once put masonry paint on floors...but what do I know eh?

Waste of time in dog pens no matter what you paint it with it will come off no matter how well you prep it

2 pac floor paint is the only way to do it properly, johnstones do a fairly decent system at the moment and like AKA BRINDLE I've been in the trade long enough to know that masonry paint ain't for floors! We tend to roll it out of the scuttle as it goes further than pouring on the floor and spreading it out! Best of luck.
