Our garage floors are not always the first item or part of the house that we think about when it comes to making our homes look better.  They can be unattractive.  Garage floor paint not only makes your garage more attractive, but it holds a purpose.   It protects and beautifies.  Garage floors are used and abused from cars, lawnmowers, foot traffic and children.  Dirty toys, radiator fluid, oil, dirt and grease get spread around and make the floors look unorganized and filthy. Cleaning the floor becomes a project in itself. Protecting the floor could save you thousands in future repair costs. It is a good idea to research and buy the best garage floor paint on the market, although the quality is important you also need to make sure your cement is ready for application.
Concrete garage floor paint usually comes in three different types: latex, oil and epoxy.  Each one has its benefits.  Use floor paint that is specifically used for garage floors, specifically epoxy paint,because standard paint will cause more problems. There are many colors to choose from and finding the right color can really improve the looks of your garage. You can even make the  garage floor a non slip surface. You can purchase a residential grade  paint or an  industrial garage floor paint.

Painting your floor takes many steps to achieve correct adhesion, and to do it incorrectly you will make the expensive garage floor paint you just bought ineffective.
Using colored paint chips is a great way to make your floor look great.  The best way to paint your floor is to use many coats just like you would coat your walls in your house.  You want complete coverage.  After your last coat you can spread the colored paint chips on your floor.   Pattern of randomness is the goal. To get a good random pattern the chips need to be thrown in such a matter so it lands spread apart.  Throw your chips up in the air keeping them far enough away to float to the floor.  Throwing them too close will make it blotchy.
Solid paint color for the floor varies from reds, whites, grey, blue, tan and green.  Picking the correct color is definitely a personal choice.  Decorating the garage and choosing a color to match the walls is a relatively new idea.  Usually garage walls are white, so the floors can match easily.
