Car port floor paint

About the shoes. All the tradies that do it here get a naff pair of flip flops and chuck them after each job because the chemicals in the paint eat them but it spreads itself afterwards if you do walk on it as it sets.


I'm getting our basement done but I have labourers coming to do it as I got to the point of needing to grind the old paint surface off and said sod it get someone with the machine in and have them do the whole job.

Don't underestimate how much it'll stink after as well... Your neighbours might complain.

I've seen guys use something similar to ice climbing crampons (checks for typos and spelling) with points on while the stuff still wet.
The liquid element of the paint / coating fills back into the little holes.

Despite knowing better from being on this site for 13 years, I'm going to ask some advice from you loveable goons.

I'm contemplating putting an epoxy garage floor paint onto our concrete floored car port, which also serves as a porch, so it would benefit from sprucing up.

It's a bit lightly oil stained in one bit, because I keep a 1970s car there. The end exposed to the weather can sometimes experience a little standing water.

It's 5m x 3m ish. Fairly flat, but nothing like smooth, nor is it particularly rough.

What should I get that will stand up to this? Do I need to worry about the oil stains after I scrub off as much as I can using sawdust AND rice? What prep do I need to think about?

*sits back and awaits sage advice
