- Stains for concrete come in two general categories: acid-based chemical stains and water-based acrylics. Most acid stains are a mixture of water, hydrochloric acid and acid-soluble metallic salts. They work by penetrating the surface and reacting chemically with the hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) in the concrete. The acid in the stain lightly etches the surface, allowing the metallic salts to penetrate more easily.

Our Picks for the Best Garage Floor Paint Since paint is not as durable as other garage floor options, the key is to choose the right formulation for the best wear. There are generally two types to choose from – latex acrylic for concrete floors and pre-mixed 1-part epoxy garage floor paint. Hands down, your best choice between the two is the 1-part epoxy paint. The reason 1-part epoxy paint is the better choice has to do with the properties of epoxy itself. When mixed in with the paint, it will provide for a coating that is more resistant to mold and mildew, chemicals, gasoline stains, oil, scuff marks, and chipping. It also tends to bond to the concrete better than latex paint and this helps with resisting peeling and hot tire pick up.
