    Hi,
    I need to paint my concrete garage floor but am not certain what I need.
    My floor is approx 10 square metres and has some slight surface damage where concrete has gone dusty and exposed the stone aggregate to a depth of about 2mm in places.
    If I need to repair the concrete so that it is level, what do I need.
    Do I need a primer against the dust.
    How many litres of paint do I need.

    Thank you
    john9159

    to get the floor level ready for painting. Mix a pva solution over the entire floor,wait for it to dry and then mix a latex self leveling compound and spread it over the entire floor.This will save on the cost of the floor paint and give you a better finish.
