I've done the search on this forum and read many very good threads but most are a few years old so the products aren't on the shelves anymore or the manufacturers have changed the products or the prices have doubled. Of course new products are also out since then so I'd like to pick the brains of people here who have been in my shoes and how their solutions stood up to time.
I finished (ha, really? it's just starting) my small 100sq' shop. I'm finally at a point where I can move in my truck and restart my restoration on it but figured I should seal the concrete before I start putting a millions things on the floor and then when I get it dirty it's harder to move everything to get it sealed.
I'm at a point where I believe I should seal it and not epoxy over it due to the benefits of sealing over just covering over it (of course I may be wrong).
My neighbor tells me to get a gallon of oil paint and dilute it with gasoline and paint the floor. This way the concrete will absorb it and I'll never have to redo it and it won't ever come off, even if it chips the color is impregnated into the concrete. I'm all for old timer's solutions but before I go with that, any contraindications to that from anyone out there that has done it versus using new off the shell products?
