ᐅ Painting a Garage Floor

We are building a new house and have decided to go with a prefabricated garage.

To make the garage floor more resistant to things like saltwater in winter, a coating was recommended. I would now like to apply this myself. What type of paint would be suitable for this? Can I use any standard 2-component epoxy resin coating? Are there any suppliers that come particularly recommended? I have also found coatings designed for industrial or workshop floors. Are there differences compared to coatings meant for garage floors?

For private use, almost any 2k coating should be sufficient. However, if you want, I can look up some options for industrial floors, but those usually cost around 70 euros per square meter (approximately 6.50 USD per square foot). With that, you could even drive a forklift over it.

I probably won’t be able to drive anything larger than our car in there. A coating for private use should be sufficient.

Do two-component coatings have any disadvantages or things I should watch out for? I've also read that the solvents can damage car tires if the vehicle is parked for a long time (like during a holiday). Are there special two-component coatings for this?

2K coatings (usually) do not contain solvents; that is the main reason for using 2K.
1K coatings require solvents, which dissolve the paint and keep it fluid. After application, the solvent can evaporate, allowing the paint to cure. 2K cures through the addition of the second component (hardener).

Are there other components (in the coating) to watch out for? What could cause the tires to stick? I am also familiar with floor coatings (e.g., underground parking garage) that feel rubbery. Could the plasticizers they contain possibly be the reason?

I don’t understand why you are so worried. If something is labeled as a garage floor coating, it should work fine.

Otherwise, there are also tiles.
