    Tips for painting concrete flooring in garage

    The concrete floor in my garage is painted. Is it safe to add an epoxy coating to this surface? If so, what steps should I take to apply this? How much should I apply? What equipment will I need and how about any safety tips and equipment that I’ll need to take into consideration? If it can’t be done, is there any other type of coating that can be added or something similar than be done to add more protective and preservative qualities to my garage floor? Thank in advance! I’m a bit stuck on this and would like to figure out so that the floor doesn’t wear down over time. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks for your time.
