I need to paint a concrete floor and a couple of breeze block walls inside a workshop.

What the hell do I need to ask for? Can anyone get me this cheap or what

I need some air tools as well. Cheap of course. All in the name of building a quick Corsa. Passenger rides available to any contributers

We just painted the inside of a toolbank depot, normal emulsion can be used on the walls.

Floor paints can be a bastard as they have to be sealed in.

Just been told in B&Q there was a cheap kit of a small (dont know how small) air compressor and a few tools with it for about £80, gonna go have a look 2moz me thinks

emulsions will peel after time though as they trap moisture underneath and don't let the walls breathe. water-based paints let walls breath yet still protect

Anything other than dulux is fine without being watered down. If you do get dulux make sure you do water it down, its the best paint but not for this lol
