I think I might try some of the rubber tile like products.
In any case if you want to paint it I suggest three things:
1. Follow, in detail, the prep instructions that come with the finish
materials.
2. Buy only the best finish materials, a true two part epoxy. It is not
that much more expensive.
3. Follow, in detail, the prep instructions that come with the finish
materials.
Using cheap materials or materials not specifically intended for a
garage is a waste of time and will make any correction to the mess they will
make very difficult.
Did I mention the prep work. No skimping here. If it says don't use it
on a new surface for 6 months, don't cheat by trying it in five months, if
it says rinse it three time, rinse it four.
