Painting floor

[TexomaAv8r]

I have replaced the floor in my storage shed with 3/4 ply on 2x6 joists. What should I paint the floor with? It will be primarily storage and some lawn equipment

You could leave it alone or just use some porch and deck paint if you insist on painting it. I doubt it will see enough traffic for an epoxy paint.

I might do that> I wasnt sure of dragging lawn mowers etc across it would be bad or not

Epoxy, it is impervious to gas & oil, and really holds up....JK

Haut... they do make epoxy paint...., <br /><br />Do a google search for "plywood aquarium" and use what those guys use to paint those things.

Re: Painting floor

probably a bit late to mention this, but I would paint the underside of the floor with some sort of preservative it stops any damp getting at it.

Im with bob for a srorage shed,you could but thompsons water seal on it then wait 3 weeks and put a solid color stain on it,its cheap and easy to do,and you can redo it every couple of years.
