The garage is a place where petrol, oil and other chemical substances are worked with. Mechanical stresses caused by the heavy weight of the vehicles at certain points can also cause cracks in the ground. In winter, de-icing salt can also attack the soil. To protect your customer's garage floor from exposure to mechanical influences and harmful substances, it is important that the substrate is regularly coated or sealed. Painted floors are also easier to clean. The use of an airless paint sprayer saves time and energy when coating and ensures an even and smooth surface.
Before you start the garage floor painting, it is important to check the condition of the surface and make repairs if necessary:
Acrylic paint is a 1-component paint with high abrasion resistance and durability and is therefore well suited as a garage floor coating. The paint is already mixed and can be applied immediately.

Epoxy resin paint is a 2-component paint based on epoxy resin as a binder. This paint repels water and chemicals and completely seals the floor. It is also suitable for floors that are exposed to heavy mechanical loads. The 2k garage floor coating is mixed shortly before spraying.

We use the SuperFinish 23 CR diaphragm pump here. This is also suitable for working with epoxy resin. However, you can find out on the WAGNER website whether your sprayer is suitable for applying your desired material and how best to set it up to apply the garage floor coating material. Just take a look at our practical WAGNER spray guide.
Prepare the garage floor to be coated by jetwashing it if necessary and removing dust and dirt. Also repair any cracks or unevenness.
Attach the hose, gun, tip holder and appropriate tip on your airless sprayer and tighten all connection properly. Use a tip extension to easily reach the floor.
Always wear gloves, a protective mask and safety goggles during the following work steps.
Do you use a 2K coating material? Mix the two components and pour the paint into the hopper of your sprayer. Pay attention to the maximum working time after mixing to avoid premature curing when applying the paint.
Adjust your airless sprayer for the material you are using. To be sure, it is best to test your settings again on a piece of cardboard. You will find information about the perfect settings in the manufacturer's material data sheet and on our website.
Start by spraying the edges and borders of the floor. Tip: If the surrounding walls are also to be painted afterwards, you can save yourself time-consuming masking by using a cardboard spray guard to cut in the edges.
Using the WAGNER Airless sprayer, gives you a large working radius preventing the need to move the machine or the coating material. You can use the paint to completely coat the garage floor and protect it from harmful substances. When spraying, make sure to work parallel to the ground to avoid overspray.
Allow the coating material to dry and harden completely and then apply a second coat if necessary. The drying time of the garage floor paint can be found on the container or in the material data sheet from the paint manufacturer.

One person can do all the work alone. Spraying is therefore more economical than traditonal methods for applying paint due to reduced labour costs.

The fine droplets allow the paint to reach every part of the floor. This is particularly advantageous for rough floors.
