   Is there a question or inquiry hidden in your message? If you desire information and expect us to spend time and effort providing it, you need to be more forthcoming (translation: you are being rude). Otherwise, go to the library and read back issues of Family Handyman Magazine. It's covered in there somewhere.

   *There are epoxy paints made specifically for garage floors. Buy some and follow the directions for cleaning and application.

   *Though I tend toward Steve's answer, I would recommend that you think long and hard about why you wish to paint a garage floor. Once in, never out, and it'll be another item added to your home maintenance list. Steps include thorough cleaning, including ALL grease and oil, etching with acid, then mixing and painting on the epoxy. Any other paint will peel off. Staining and sealing is an alternative to painting, and it'd require less maintenance. Think of the floor as a wall when painting. In other words, cut in the perimeter and corners with a brush before rolling on the field paint. If your garage ever has water seeping in at the perimeter seams after a hard rain or spring thaw, you should consider caulking the seams before painting, using a polyurethane or butyl caulk. The paint is noxious, so ventilate and, if it's an attached garage, ensure fumes can't enter the house.
