garage walls
I did mine about 12 years ago, single leaf brick construction. Just vacuumed
all the loose dust off and gave it two good coats using a deep pile roller.
Still good as new.


Lovely. I'll do that, then. I wonder about pale blue walls with a deep
red floor...


Bear in mind that the reflected light may throw a slight colour hue
over any work you do. This doesn't matter for a lot of things but may
be an issue if you are painting projects.


garage floor
The main reason I put floor paint down was to kill all the dust you normally
get from a bare concrete floor, plus makes it a bit more 'homely'. As I
recall I used a heavy duty polyurethane based floor paint which was
literally poured straight onto the floor and then spread with a rubber
squeegee, one single coat.


That sounds pretty numpty-proof. I'd be hard-pushed to cock that up.



Just remember to start in the corner *opposite* the door :-)
