I had Dacrylate 2 part floor paint recommended to me by a mate who is in the know when it comes to all things paint.

I painted my shop floor 7 years ago & it still looks the same today as when i painted it.

Very impressed with it.


Cheers.

I painted my workshop floor with non slip paint. wood dust and shavings can make a smooth floor quite slippy.

  To save a bit on paint first seal the floor with diluted PVA the instruction as to dilution will be on the container.

Not sure now, it was a while ago since i bought it.

There were cheaper options, but as was explained to me it is suitable for industrial flooring, so would last. This new one is hopefully my last workshop & I only wanted to do the job once, re-painting a fully equipped workshop floor is a nightmare DAMHIKT :(

A link to the paint is here.
