I have about 1/2 gallon of Rustolium Industrial epoxy floor paint left over
from doing my shop/garage floor. I would like to use it to paint a new
workbench if OK to do so. Anyone have ideas or comment. Thank in advance for
any advise.

Porch and floor enamel has good adhesion and abrasion resistance. Epoxy is
especially good. This paint should work quite well on a workbench. But,
any paint will get beat up if you use the bench. I favor leaving it
unpainted--workbenches are supposed to look used.

I used some very expensive floor and porch enable to paint some partical
board shelfs. I even used the expensive primer. Sliding things on the
shelves removes the paint. I suspect the wood is not up to the load.
A long time ago I bought a gallon of grey utility enamel that worked
very well on a wood workbench made from 2x10s.

Hey Brackets,

Same as Chuck said. Way back when, I used a good floor enamel to
paint a wooden bench that has a tempered masonite top on doubled 3/4"
ply. After 25 years of use, it still looks pretty good. At least it
did when I had it "empty" to move here a couple of years ago. 75% of
my use is around the vise, and it is still good there. I think any
floor specific paint would be more than suitable, and I'm assuming you
meant RUST-OLEUM PAINT, which I personally think is a particularly
good brand.

Why not ask the manufacturer for advice too.

Among other stuff, they have an FAQ there.

Take care.
