Finishing Tamped Concrete

[autojumbled]

I had great results on my tamped garage floor using Setcrete High Performance Floor Levelling Compound - 20kg from Wickes. It is a final ware surface but I also painted it and added flakes. Looks great and was easy. Vac floor, prime then Mix in a plasters bucket with drill and paddle. Dump it out, spread it out a bit. I used a 2’ length of skirting board with a 5’ batten nailed as a brush handle. Mix pour etc.
Goodluck

Just had a look into the Setcrete stuff - looks look a good workable product. What did you paint with to get that finish? An epoxy based paint?

Actually, it was just Leyland garage floorpaint. Paint flakes from eBay. Sprinkle flakes on 2nd coat when wet, 1m area at a time. Flakes stick. Leyland do a clear floor paint which I used as the top coat.

Did a DPM go under the original floor? If so then I don't see why you need another one now
