As aussiemom said, it looks better and makes it much easier to clean.
While the concrete floor may look new and nice now, years from now it may not. Even down here concrete can spall, crack, and become difficult to keep clean. A nicely painted concrete floor looks nicer and sweeps much easier. When one considers what we sometimes spend on upgrades, this one is relatively inexpensive for the nice look you get.
With no basements, some folks spend more time in their garage. For some, it even becomes a "Man Cave". Some have their washer and dryer out there. Personally, I think it looks so much better, (if done right), and puts a smile on my face whenever I sweep mine.
Just be careful to use the correct paint, as a cheap or improper paint can "lift off" from hot tires, etc. It is not something you want to skimp on, as it is a big job sometimes to move everything to do it, etc......you want to do it right the first time. I would shy away from most latex types and use an epoxy type.
Also, protecting the concrete from golf cart battery acid is important....but that itself could be a whole different thread.
Hope that helps......Respectfully, Frank
