Default Painting a concrete floor

You may not have done anything wrong but I am told that rubber car
tyres reacts with ordinary floor paint and pulls it off. (I painted my
garage floor with Crown floor paint a couple of years ago and you
could see where my car had been after a very short period of light use
- I have a can of Crown Epimac floor paint to put down when I feel in
the mood for clearing the floor; apparently that should be OK.)


If it pulls off its not adhered properly. It should wear off with a lot
of use. Now you are either going to remove all the previous badly
adhered paint or paint on top of badly adhered paint. I wish you the
best of luck.

Most of these paint manufacturers make product down to a price, (max
profit), and cut corners and, in some cases take the ****.

There are many specialist flooring epoxies etc on the market and they
will give you far better results than with 'floor paints' which are
what they say, little more than 'paint'.

A lot of them are cheaper than 'Floor Paint' anyway.
