I have a garage floor that already has a dpc and (uneven) concrete base.
There is a slight gradient from the back to the front of the garage.
I'd like to make good/smooth the floor so that it can be painted.
Is screeding the answer or will something else do the trick ?
Can't raise the floor too much as there is a garage door at one end so there are limitations on the depth of the floor covering.
Any help/advice much appreciated.

the only thing that may work is a tough floor levelling compound but success may be limited. i'm fairly sure levelling compounds are for sub-floor use only and are used in conjunction with floor coverings.

there are two part epoxy coatings but you don't want to go there. :eek:

there are epoxy paints too.
 
noseall is correct.

Self leveling componds are not meant for a wearing surface, merely to level subfloor before tiling or amtico/karndean flooring.

Now theres an idea? Why not tile the floor with some cheap and cheerful anti slip floor tiles :)

I went to the local Vauxhall garage other week for new tyres and their woorkshop was tiled with white floor tiles.
