Garage & Workshop — Key Considerations
Concrete block or brick walls may need stabilising primer first

Floor coatings must resist vehicle tyres, oil, and chemical spills
Temperature extremes — garages are unheated, so paint must be flexible
Dust and cobwebs need thorough cleaning before any coating

Recommended Finishes
