Default Garage Floor - Dusty

34 years since I painted the garage floor. Doing a bit of cleaning and
tidying - and the floor is giving lots of dust where the paint has long
worn away.
Not bothered about cosmetics especially - what is the cheapest solution?

I guess that would be dilute PVA (or better, SBA). But if you want it to
last, then the cheapest floor paint. After washing and then hoovering
once dry.

Pour some neat SBR on to it, and sweep it all over with a soft
(disposable!) broom or mop.

PVA, SBR, bitumen, oil based paint leftovers mixed together etc.

Ignore it!

I guess you could do all sorts of things, all of which could prepare it to
be repainted, but in the meantime would create more dust than if you left
it. Brian

You *can't* ignore it if you wish to do any car spraying in there! The
only temporary solution would be to hose it over with water
immediately prior to picking up the spraygun.
