The project:
Cleaned and painted the garage floor without the full expense for a professional job for such a small garage space (Quotes for $1500+) .
Couldn't be bothered moving storage at the rear of the garage as I will paint this space when I move house.
Total Cost $320 (some items were marked down at time of purchase)
Added anti-skid, decorative chips and clear top coat for extra effect and protection.
After a couple of weeks, some minor hot tyre marks are showing (which I can deal with) but no paint is peeling or degrading.
