mine was about £40 all in did it last week

got it from homebase

Concrete sealer and a paint (light grey) but you can choose about 6 different colours.

Took 6 hrs for the sealer to dry and then about 24hrs for the floor paint to dry, very impressed with the results, enough to do 2 coats on a single garage.

Cheers

I agree with Dave on the Acid Etching. It is well worth the effort as the paint will stick much better. Otherwise as soon as you park a car on it with warm tyres, it will lift the paint......
