    For a concrete floor in a cellar. It is dry. Bonus points for white, or
    as light as possible.

    When I worked for Crown, now about 20 years ago, floor paint was grey
    but looking at theit website it looks as though it can be mixed to
    pretty much any colour that you want. https://www.crowndecoratingcentres.co.uk/paints/interior/floor-coatings-and-protection

    Thank you. Is there any particular sort of paint--epoxy, polyester, or whatever there is--which is considered "better" for flooring?


    I bought actual floor paint for my garage/workshop. 5 years on and the
    bit where the car goes is looking a little worn but the rest is perfect.

    Most DIY sheds will have some.

    Cheers. Was it easy to apply or did you have to go through some arcane
    ritual with acid etching and neutralisation and such?
    It was on a new concrete floor, so I didn't have to worry about cleaning
    at all.
