Ive nearly come to the point where I get to paint my new workshop floor.
Its fresh smooth concrete, it's had 30 days to cure, what should I use?
I've read that "1 part epoxy paint" (which isn't strictly paint) is loads better than normal floor paint, but can't find any suppliers. or am I ok going with a good brand name floor paint? Any horror stories?

It looks like we have a new forum librarian. Does STW use Dewey Decimal or BISAC?
Oh.... That would have been sensible. Thanks.

Pretty much, yes. Happliy posts links to threads from 8 years ago, ignoring the fact that they are that old.
Which is it - garage or workshop? The point of epoxy 'garage' paint is that it doesn't get lifted off by car tyres - it does that by having a stronger bond to the concrete but also by being very slick and smooth.
If its for a workshop... have you ever thought to yourself "what I need now is a more slippery, slidey floor" ?
For a workshop 'floor paint' is all you need.
I'd also recommend Carpet instead of paint too - we re did the floors in the house and laid the old underlay & carpet in the garage. Much warmer underfoot (when getting changed for turbo work) & more comfortable underfoot when working in the garage.
Acid etch followed by two to three coats of bedec floor paint,
Possible hijack - I had my floor ground polished and sealed (part of the ongoing garage build project) but there are a few dints in it here and there (2-3mm deep, nothing bigger than a 10p piece. What would be best to fill these? Epoxy?
