Paint, but be prepared for 4 bald patches to appear over time, matching the footprint of the tyres. Maybe better preparation, fresh concrete or reapplying paint is the answer. I need to do mine again, it got all messy when an extension was built above it.

I don't know, but is there not a sealant for concrete that you can spray on or something?? Maybe this helps?

I decided to take the coop to drive to work today. Got a concrete floor in the garage and I've noticed I keep getting concrete dust foot prints on the floor mats. So thinking should I paint the garage floor to stop that dreaded dust getting on my floor mats. Think yourself lucky, i've just moved to Rocester in staffs and am now having a million starlings flying in formations crapping all over my coupes every night at dusk ! Not funny at all.

Also fit a strip of carpet along the garage wall at door height. It allows you to touch the wall without damaging the paint on your door (unless you have a double garage and space is not an issue)

Simon, use concrete seal. I'm just waiting for the weather to reach 15c plus, & then I'm doing my floor. Won't peel or flake off like paint eventually does. Originally I was going to paint, but was told about this concrete seal.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Years ago I used factory floor paint to seal a dusty garage floor. it was unmarked when I sold that house.
It was amazing just how much water came off the car overnight after a rainy drive, previously it just soaked into the concrete and disappeared.

some good advice in all of the above. I painted my garage floor due to the very reason the OP states. 2 coats of factory floor paint, I have a double so managed half at a time which broadly avoids patches in gloss / coverage. never been a problem in 2yrs, though my (SORN / dead) coupe is only rolled out occasionally for loft access. I use 4 doormats for the places where the tyres park, I had heard that hot tyres can stick to paint if left for a while.
am going to paint the walls this spring, am planning Italian-flag repeats on every 3 breeze-blocks. now that is going too far...
