I am thinking about cleaning the floor with muriatic acid. Then I
intend to paint the floor with a couple coats of patio concrete deck
paint.

Does anyone have experience with this. Will the paint hold for a
least a couple years? Are the stains likely to show through over a
couple years?

Thanks for your input,

I suggest choosing a good two part epoxy garage floor paint. Note: If
it is not made for garages, it likely is not made to handle hot tyres and
will not hold up, although it might work fine in a basement.

Follow the instructions on the can 120% percent. Especially the part
about preparation. It will tell you have to clean up that oil. The acid
will help provide the proper surface, but it is not an oil solvent.
