A friend of mine has a single garage that was simply a dumping ground. He asked for some help to clean it up so i suggested starting with a nice clean and shiny painted floor.
Materials
Garage floor paint - spoke with paint counter team member to get the correct paint.
Tools
- Hose
- Blower Vac
- Cleaning tools such as dust pan, broom, scraper
- Paint roller
- paint tray
- paint brush
- degreaser
Steps
Step 1
Cleaned out the garage, i don't have a photo of this but you couldn't walk in as there was that much clutter.
Threw out unnecessary clutter, put items up on ebay.
Swept floor and walls, removed mess.
Step 2
Used garden blower to get out as much dust as possible
Degreaser on some oil patches
Washed floor with soap and water and hosed out
Step 3
Once dried completely, painted edges with paint brush
Step 4
applied one coat with roller to finish.
Left for 7 days to dry and cure
Hi @Jimi
Thanks for sharing you and your friends painted garage floor project. It looks fabulous and you've done an excellent job of the clean-up. Has your friend decided what it will be used for now that it's clean and tidy?
Should it be necessary to store items in the garage again, I suggest having a look at this discussion - Heavy duty garage shelving by @jthurley. I've made a suggestion on how to build timber shelves that you can custom make and mount on a brick wall.
Again, thank you for sharing such a fantastic project.

Morning @Jimi
It does look a lot nicer 
Now the thing is will it be used for garage stuff or will everything else be attracted to it? BTW I never use a garage for a car
