How to choose the right garage floor paint
There are several things to consider before you start to paint your garage floor. Here’s what this type of paint should offer:
1. UV resistance
Among other things, when you paint your garage floor, it’s essential that the paint withstands sunlight to keep the surface in perfect condition.
With our SmartCover Floor paint, you don’t need to worry. It is UV-resistant, so you can forget about those yellowish tones that appear over time. This type of paint is ideal if your garage has windows.

2. High abrasion resistance and durability
Abrasion resistance is a must when choosing garage floor paint. Just think about everything that happens there: cars driving in and out, heavy objects falling to the ground, and constant activity.
Our paint can handle all that and more, so you won’t need to worry about scratches or losing that beautiful shine.
3. Excellent chemical resistance
Garage floors often face spills and drops that can damage the surface. That’s why strong chemical resistance is crucial. SmartCover Floor prevents those annoying stains caused by spills, which are often impossible to remove.

For cement and concrete mortars: wait until the substrate is fully cured (1 month). Afterwards, remove any loose parts, seal cracks, and clean dirt such as dust, oils, and/or residues.

If the surface is already painted, ensure the existing paint is in good condition and maintains good adhesion. If the previous paint is old or poorly adhered, completely remove the defects and repair the areas until the substrate is healthy, dry, and clean.
Then, apply Smart Primer ABS for absorbent surfaces or Smart Primer PLUS for non-absorbent surfaces.
