Expert Garage Floor Painting
Welcome to Peninsula Concrete Sealing, your trusted local experts for garage floor painting services across the Mornington Peninsula. From Frankston to Portsea, we transform stained, worn garage floors into durable, visually appealing surfaces that enhance your home’s functionality and value. Our coatings, including epoxy-based paints and clear finishes over exposed aggregate, are tailored for coastal homes in Langwarrin, Mount Martha, and Rosebud, protecting against day to day wear.
Garage floors face daily abuse from vehicles, oil spills, and heavy tools, often showing smarks, cracks and stains. Many assume painting a garage floor is a simple DIY task, but it’s a technical process requiring expertise. Our meticulous approach ensures your floors withstand wear without compromising the look or longevity. Let’s dive into the technicalities.
A key factor in successful garage floor painting is surface porosity. Concrete is naturally porous, with tiny holes that allow paints to penetrate deeply, forming a strong bond that resists peeling. Non-porous surfaces, like glazed tiles or overly trowelled finished concrete, don’t absorb paint well, leading to adhesion failure. We liken it to painting glass: it sticks briefly but wears off under traffic.
During our inspection, we figure it out. If the surface is too sealed; we may etch it with acid or grinding to improve receptivity, ensuring durability in Mornington’s climate. If etching isn’t viable, as the last option we’ll advise against it.
Repainting over existing coatings requires identifying the prior paint type—epoxy, acrylic, enamel, or solvent-based—to prevent compatibility issues. We use solvent tests (e.g., acrylic dissolves, epoxy resists, enamel shows a chicken foot pattern) to determine the coating. Enamel-based products, like Bunnings Berger Jet Dry, often fail prematurely due to being an undesirable product, even with proper prep. For these, we strip the surface back completely using paint removers, chemicals, and pressure washing, creating a clean base for our high-quality sealers.
Mismatched coatings cause bubbling or delamination, so this step is critical.
Once prepped, we apply two to three coats of premium paint, typically epoxy or solvent based for chemical resistance, with curing time between layers. For high-traffic garages, we add non-slip additives for safety, ideal for sloped floors or wet conditions in coastal areas like Rye.
Our 4-step process ensures a flawless finish:
Step 1: Assessment – We evaluate your garage floor and discuss your desired outcome, checking for suitability.
Step 2: Preparation and Cleaning – We address cracks, stains, or oil with eco-friendly cleaners and diamond grinding, etching if needed for optimal adhesion.
Step 3: Paint Application – We apply two coats of durable paint, incorporating non-slip additives in the second coat, with a day’s cure time between.
Step 4: Cleanup and Follow-Up – We clean daily, tape off the area to prevent traffic, and return after 6-7 days to confirm satisfaction and remove barriers.
We complete the job in 2-3 days, minimizing disruption. Walking is possible same-day (weather dependent), but vehicles need 6-7 days for curing.
Beyond garage floors, our expertise extends to workshop floors, patios, and retaining walls. In Mount Martha, we apply paints to patios, while in Langwarrin, we use solvent-based coatings for workshop durability. We offer matt, satin, gloss, or high-gloss finishes, tailored to your needs.
We live by “Do it right or don’t do it at all.” If we can’t guarantee a 10/10 finish, we won’t proceed, explaining why and leaving the decision to you. Contact us for a free quote to transform your Mornington Peninsula garage with lasting quality today.
