I bought a house n the garage floor was painted blue but its has alot of chip spot like its peeling off. How do. I take it off if I want to re painted?/?/?/?
You don't need to take the old paint off to repaint. I would suggest you rent a power washer and use that on the floor, once it's dry you can paint the floor. Almost any hardware store carries paint for floors
Honey all you have to do is get a few gallons of floor paint. It is oil based enamel and you can get colors like Battleship Gray, Light Gray, etc. and it doesn't cost alot. Any hardware store carries it and the cheapest prices on it I have ever seen has been Big Lots and Walmart. Paint right over it with a paint roller and paint tray. What you could do to prep the floor is get a good, strong bristle floor broom and sweep it really good to help get those chipped spots loose and away from that area.
If the paint on the floor now is chipping and peeling, then anything that you just put on top of that will fail as the current layer continues to loose adhesion and fall off. So you would have to get the old paint off first. I know it is more work, but doing the job right generally is and if the floor was prepped properly and the right paint or coating used originally you probably wouldn’t be having this problem. Floor paint is different than other paint and the epoxy based coatings designed for garage spaces is different than floor paint. It is harder, more scratch and chemical resistant than most paint. You can rent a floor cup grinder and vacuum combo and should be able to grind off a typical 2 car garage floor in a few hours. Be careful not to gouge the floor. Get an epoxy garage floor coating kit, maybe at the same big box store you rent the grinder at, and follow the directions. Like most projects preparation is key. The biggest reason projects fail or do not turn out as expected is because people skip the preparation, often the hardest and most difficult, and most important part of the project. G.
