In our home now (Delaware), I painted our utility room floor with concrete paint. It turned out great and easy, just like regular paint only thicker. My home sold the first day it was on the market and we are moving to TV in mid-June. I like to think that in addition to my staging (Thank you HGTV) that the cleanliness of places like utility room added to the staging. I even polished the hot water heater!! (seriously, I did).

I did make a HUGE mistake in the garage. Used the expoy paint with the glitter stuff....looked great for about two weeks, then grease spots started to eat through the paint. Lesson learned: If doing garage or any area where there may be grease stains, they must be thoroughly removed first. The area in the garage where there was not any stain underneath remain nice.

I would say go ahead and paint, it looks clean and fresh.
