I've just painted the floor in my garage of my new build house. After quite a bit of research I was recommended the Leyland Trade Heavy Duty floor paint and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

You don't need to put any PVA mix down first or anything, it's designed to go straight on to the concrete base. I gave it three coats and it's looking pretty good. The key though is to try and remove as much dust as possible before you start painting, I used an old hoover.

Thats what I used - went on easily and looks to be durable.

Good thread for motivation to sort mine out. It's quite large but the previous owner didn't finish the build off so the block walls are rough and the ceiling is unfinished plasterboard and this make the place really dusty. I need to get time to take the whole lot out and paint it to stop the dust.

I tried using the cheap Halfords flooring tiles to provide a more comfortable floor. This worked at first but for some reason after they had been down a few months, they became mis-shaped and now I have a few of them central that have lifted, almost like the have grown in size. When I redo the floor I will get some heavy duty garage floor tiles.

Also used BigDug shelving as pictured earlier in this thread, very pleased with that.
