7 Best Garage Floor Paints of 2024

This Armor is100 percent acrylic professional-grade floor paint. It comes in huge 5-gallon containers, so no matter what size your garage is, you can get the job done. This is a solvent-based paint rather than water-based, which means it bonds better to the concrete surface.

It stands up to abrasion, UV rays, extreme weather temperatures, and hot tire pick-up. A two-coat application should last between 2 and 5 years before recoats, and you don’t need to fret about unsealed surfaces, as this product bonds to just about any concrete.

It doesn’t have any color, so it really makes your concrete stand out, even on old and worn surfaces. And thanks to the high gloss finish, it wipes clean and reflects the sunlight, which is ideal for dark garages.

What’s not so great is that solvent-based paints damage the environment, but you do get 175 square feet per gallon on porous surfaces and 225 square feet per gallon on non-porous surfaces.

When your garage floor gets wet or freezes, you need paint that gives you extra grip. Sometimes, you just want the reassurance of knowing you have a non-slip base. This FIXALL Skid Grip paint has anti-slip qualities that mean you can paint it onto concrete, asphalt, and other surfaces.

It has an acrylic formula for superior adherence, and it reduces instances of peeling, flaking, and fading. It comes in 7 vibrant colors, and you also get between 60 and 80 square feet per gallon, depending on the porosity of the surface.

You can use it inside and out, so when you have done the garage floor, it will coat sidewalks, pathways, and play areas. The downside is it is hard to clean if you get oil or other chemicals on the floor, and when you sweep, the brush struggles to collect debris.

Plus, you only get a maximum of 80 square feet of coverage on smooth surfaces. That’s way down compared to other paints that feature.

This KILZ paint dries to the touch in just 2 hours and is ready for the second coat in 4 hours. It dries to a satin finish, and it won’t scuff, fade, crack or blister and it can withstand the rigors of hot tires.

This is 1-part epoxy paint, meaning that it doesn’t require a hardener to set. It adheres to sealed and unsealed concrete, and it resists staining from chemicals, oil, and gasoline.

You get 300 to 400 square feet of coverage on rough surfaces and 400 to 500 square feet on smooth surfaces, so it easily has the best spread of any paints we have featured.

The preparation needed to get the best adherence for this paint is exhausting. First, you need to wash the floor, then treat it with an etching agent to increase the bonding of the paint. You then have to wait a couple of days while it dries before painting. It could take a week before you get both coats down.

Also, 1-gallon costs almost double the price of the FIXALL paint, and if you want the same quantity as the Armor, you can double the price, making it the most expensive paint so far.

This latex-based paint has excellent bonding qualities, and thanks to the formula, it adheres to concrete floors, both indoors and out. It dries in 24 hours, but if you are using it for parking your car, you should leave 5 days for it to cure fully.

It’s resistant to washing, weather, acids, and alkalis, and you can paint it straight onto bare concrete because no primer is needed. It dries to the touch in 30 minutes, and you can apply the second coat within 4 hours.

The coverage of this paint is impressive. You get 500 to 600 square feet of spread on super-smooth surfaces, although that figure reduces depending on the porosity of the surface.

On the downside, some customers say that the paint still lifts under their car tires even when they wait a week to cure as per the instructions.

This Rust-Oleum is a polycuramine garage floor coating, which means it’s an oil-based formula that bonds with garage floors and all interior concrete surfaces and dries 20 times stronger than epoxy.

You get 2 polycuramine burst pouches, 2 foam rollers, decorative chips, and concrete etch to get better adherence.

It’s self-leveling, and it has virtually no VOCs when it dries. Plus, it is odor-free, so you can use it in spaces with minimal ventilation. In addition, you get a limited lifetime warranty against defects, no hot tire pick-up, and a showroom quality finish.

Each kit covers up to 500 square feet of surface, depending on the porosity, and you get a high gloss finish that resists cracking, peeling, fading, and resistance to chemical spills. This coating dries to walk on in just 8 hours and is car usable within 24 hours.

However, you can only apply this coating when the temperature is between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and it costs a lot of money for this 1.4-gallon kit compared to other floor paints.

Strictly speaking, this DryWay sealer and repellent is a concrete sealer, but it still coats like paint, and it protects your garage floor from water damage because the silane formula soaks into the concrete.

If you care about preserving the look and feel of your concrete garage floor, this sealer is the ideal product. It dries to a clear, matte finish with a non-slip adherence to help when the floor is wet.

You get up to 7 years of protection against water damage, salt, chemicals, and de-icing solutions. And when you are done with the garage floor, you can use it on any interior and exterior concrete around the home and garden.

It covers up to 200 square feet per gallon and dries within 3 to 6 hours, although you should wait 4 days for the seal to form fully for vehicle use and the maximum water coverage.

The downside is this formula only enhances the concrete you have, so if you want to freshen up faded surfaces, you will need colored paint rather than this sealer.

The other point is that you are spending a lot of money on a 5-gallon tub, so be sure you need that much before starting the project.

Why spend hours priming bare or unsealed concrete to get a better bond with the concrete paint? This Rust-Oleum is the perfect answer because it is a primer and paint in one. You can layer it straight onto untreated concrete, and it seals the garage floor.

It has an advanced acrylic formula that is chemically resistant, and it dries to a high gloss finish, so it should be a breeze to keep clean and wipe stains away.

You get 250 square feet of spread from a 1-gallon can, and Rust-Oleum recommends that you paint at least 2 coats to get the best results. It’s UV and weather-resistant, as well as coping with hot tire pick-up.

This paint coats basements and patios, so it works indoors and out. The only fly in the ointment is that the can says gloss, but many customers have stated that it is more of a satin finish.

You also need to wait a long time between coats, and the curing process could take up to a week.
