How to handle 5 litres of paint sliplt on garage floor

[Bistros]

Concrete garage floor.
Big white mess. All baked in.

How best to handle without paying priate prices ( an arm and a leg )?

Thank you.

Paint it all white? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Just cover it in high density rubber floor tiles?

Or move?

Scrape it back, or use a blow torch.

Once you get back to concrete with paint in the dips then paint the whole garage floor a colour you'd like.

Surely it didn’t spread out and form a perfect thin coat, on top of a prepared surface?

Won’t large chunks just scrape off? It’s likely not bonded particularly well either.

What type of paint? Some will come off more easily than others.

That's probably the simplest answer. You'll still have a white splodge on the floor but at least it won't have sticky bits. If you need to get rid of the splodge you're into renting a floor grinder or paying someone to come and grind it for you or covering it with tiles/vinyl/carpet/etc.

Scrape what you can off, then paint over with floor paint or make the splodge into a circle. Not many people have roundabouts in their garages.

If it was just emulsion I'd wonder if you could jetwash it off? That stuff tends be fairly soft and doesn't bond that thoroughly, especially if it went on thick.

It won't exactly wash away but it might strip it in lumps.

It is white emulsion.


Cue the jet wash when i can clear the area.


Otherwise can all of the above attend my steam cleaning with nailbrush parties I will have for the next 20 years?


Thank you all.
I think the jetwash is a good first response.
