    I have no idea! I would assume it's the industrial paint for floors- it would have to be waterproof and skid-proof, so you'd need some sand or something mixed in the paint to make sure it's not slippery when wet!

    How about using garage floor epoxy?

    Another option could be a stained and sealed concrete floor. Low maintenance and fairly inexpensive. Just an idea.

    +1 I was going to suggest finding something suggested for a garage floor.

    That's assuming the floor is concrete. If you're going on a wood subfloor, maybe something for painting decking? Good for high traffic and waterproof.

    + 1 on the epoxy or concrete stain. Just make sure to clean and acid etch it before applying or it will peel off.

    2 part epoxy garage floor. I have used it in my last 3 houses. I have tried the gray, tan, and blue. I liked the gray by far over the others. Oh and do the pretty little paint chips. You can also add the grit designed for the epoxy for a slip resistant finish.

    A deck paint was used and it lasted for 10+ years with ruff use. Is deck the same as epoxy?
