I got really frustrated trying to find ideas what color to paint my garage floor because its so hard to see what my options are.
Sure, if you like gray , dark gray or tan, you can go pretty much anywhere. But there are some really amazing paint jobs that I have to wonder where they got it.
So, I decided to dive deep down the rabbit hole (like usual) and find every color option from all of the most popular paint brands for sale in the United States, Canada, UK and Australia. Almost all of you reading this are in one of those four regions, so I figured you’re probably having the same problem choosing a color that I am.
There’s one important detail to mention before we start:
There are no affiliate links in this post. Any external links you see here will go straight to the manufacturer’s websites.
I wanted to make this article a great resource that anyone can use without wondering if I’m just giving you information to make a commission.
So with that out of the way, let’s see what paint colors are out there for your garage floor.
How The Garage Floor Paint Color Guide Is Set Up
What I did was go to all of the major hardware store’s web sites and see what brands they sold. This included:
- United States: Lowe’s, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, True Value
- Canada: Canadian Tire, Home Hardware
- United Kingdom: Homebase, Wickes
- Australia: Bunnings
There’s going to be some duplication so I only listed each store once, even if it has locations in different countries. For example, Home Depot is found in both the US and Canada so I listed it once, even though I checked the inventory in both countries.
Complete List of Garage Floor Paint Colors
Let’s get to the list. Each company is listed in alphabetic order with a brief description of the company and where they’re located, as well as some details on the paint itself.
After that is what you’re really looking for. There is a color palette showing every available color for each type of paint. That way you can choose which type of garage floor paint will be best for you based on the look you want to achieve.

Armor Coat
Armor Coat is based out of Northfield, Ohio and was founded in 1988. Residential products is actually only a small portion of their business. They have several applications for commercial, retail, warehouses and industrial locations.
Their Do-it-Yourself Concrete Floor Coating is a two-part system that has an epoxy base coat and a clear urethane protective topcoat.
The Armor Coat floor kits are available in a variety of colors: Clear, White, Black, Off-White, Fazor Tan, Beige, Tan, Brown, Charcoal Gray, Light Gray, Medium Grey, Dark Grey, SE Camel, Light Blue, Blue, Tile Red, Green, Safety Yellow and Traffic Yellow.

Armor Garage
Armor Garage is a it of an oddball. They’re based out of Miami and New Jersey and have the most expensive epoxy floor coat on this list.
That’s because their epoxy “is 100% solids military grade aliphatic epoxy which cannot be compared to water based, hybrid cyclioalipahatic epoxies or high solids epoxies which we only use as primers.”
They have two versions of their epoxy floor coatings. Their Armor Chip epoxy coating is 19 mils thick and retails for $568. Armor Granite is 23 mils thick and retails for $889.
Both are available in several colors: Off-White, Desert Tan, Beige, Tan, Khaki Tan, Brown, Light Gray, Medium Gray, Dark Gray, Charcoal Gray, Light Blue, Blue, Tile Red, Green, Traffic Yellow and Safety Yellow.

Beauti-tone
Beauti-tone is a private label paint sold exclusively at Home Hardware stores in Canada.
The HardCoat epoxy kit is a two-part epoxy floor coating that dries to the touch in about three hours. It resists both salt and hot tire pickup.
It’s available in two colors, Grey and Tan. You can add an additional clear coat if you want to give your garage floor a higher-gloss shine.
Daich
Diach Coatings is based out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and got popular with their line of stone-based floor coatings in the early 1900’s.
Their DIY Epoxy Garage Floor Kit is one of the least expensive entries on this list, retailing for around $80 for a one-car garage kit.
It’s available in Gray and Tan. You can find the Daich Epoxy Floor Kit at Home Hardware in Canada.
Drylok
Drylok is manufactured by UGL (United Gilsonite Laboratories) who were the people that invented America’s first polyurethane coating. They’re based out of Dunmore, Pennsylvania.
Drylok as two product lines that would work to pant your garage floor.
The Drylok Latex Concrete Floor Paint is a latex-based paint, so it’s not the most durable. However, it’s very affordable and has a drying time of only four hours.
It’s available in several different colors: White, Terra Cotta, Persian Red, Soft Gray, Gull, Dover Gray, Georgetown Gray and Bamboo Beige. There are also four additional tints available: Caramel, Platinum, Spruce and Deep Charcoal.
The Drylok E1 1-Part Epoxy Floor Paint is an epoxy-based paint, which is different than the epoxy floor coatings than you’ll see elsewhere on this list. It offers more durability than the latex concrete floor paint, but not as much as a true epoxy coating.
It’s available in two colors, Gray and Platinum, and several different tints: Arctic White, Platinum, Gray, Dark Gray, Harvest Brown, Natural Sand, Chestnut, Stone Blue, Sky Blue, Sage and Terra Cotta.
Drylok garage floor paints are available in the US at Home Depot and Ace Hardware. I’ve also featured Drylok paints to help waterproof my garage walls.
Dyco
Dyco Paints is headquartered just down the highway from me in Clearwater, Florida. They started making roofing products back in 1967, and then branched out to making paints and floor coatings.

INSL-X has two garage floor paint products: Garage Guard and Hot Trax.

RokRez
ROKREZ is manufactured by Simiron, a US company founded in 1994 and based out of Madison Heights, Michigan.
There are two versions of the ROKREZ product line, DIY ROKREZ and ROKREZ Pro.
ROKREZ Pro is a thicker epoxy coating, designed to take a lot of punishment. While you can still use it on a residential garage, it’s mainly for warehouses, retail stores and other high-traffic areas.
It comes in base colors of Clear, Steel Gray, Gray and Tan, but you can use any of the metallic additive colors.
ROKREZ DIY isn’t as hardcore as ROKREZ PRO, but that doesn’t mean it’s a lightweight either. It’s a thick, self-leveling two-part epoxy coating that is up to twenty times stronger than many other DIY epoxy floor coatings. Kits are available for one-car and two-car garages in Gray, Dark Gray and Tan.
What I love about ROKREZ is their lineup of Metallic Additives that work with both ROKREZ and ROKREZ Pro epoxy floor coatings. These additives mix with the epoxy and come in the following colors: Aluminum, Apple Green, Bright Orange, Bronze, Cabernet, Charcoal, Chestnut Brown, Cobalt, Copper, Crimson, Gold Rush, Graphite, Luster Blue, Magenta, Marigold, Merlot, Oyster, Pearl, Smoke Gray and Violet.
You can order ROKREZ directly through their website.
