looks good. I like red as my tools will stand out better, handy as I never put them back

Does anyone know how long you should wait after pouring a concete floor before painting it?

Could you not mix the paint with the concrete? Save you a job.......!

Just an idea.

They guys at work painted the floor two days after it was poured!! It seems fine....

Could be all right if its decent enough stuff. £3 a liter is ok, but its only usally £5-6.

Top Tip, make sure you seal the concrete floor first with a PVA water mix, I have tried once before without the PVA and the lovely Garage paint came away in big pieces!

Didnt know that was needed.
- Our floor has already been sealed with PVA however.
