How should I prepare the garage floor before painting?

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Surface preparation may need to be revisited.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply paint evenly with consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure correct application tools are used (e.g., appropriate roller nap).
Scuffing or damage after drying
Allow the paint to cure fully before exposing it to heavy traffic or placing items on it. Curing can take several days beyond the initial drying time.
