Hints And Tips For Preventing Chemicals From Leaving Icky Stains On Your Garage Floor Published Dec 19th, 09I’ve written quite a few articles pertaining to garage floor coatings and coverings, but many people, I know, really don’t have much money to spend on things like that. Those of us without money, though, are the ones that are likely to be changing our own oil, which is a very easy way to stain garage floors. Some car manufacturers aren’t exactly helpful, either; I can think of a certain Subaru that I once had on which there was a plastic cover over the oil pan that was near impossible to get off without removing the front bumper cover. Of course, they included a space for the drain bolt, which made it really easy to get the bolt off, but the oil would never actually drain through that little hole, instead spraying the flooring with a nice, thick coat of used motor oil. You can imagine the mess.  |

They assume that, since the paint is beginning to flake off, it has to be due to faulty garage floor paint. This is not always the case. In reality, most garage floor paint will not peel, even if it is cheaply made or incorrectly installed; it will usually dull or rub off instead. For the most part, garage floor paint that is peeling is suffering from a moisture issue. |
