gray paints. It was hard to get the oil stains out of the garage floor. I was never entirely successful and the paint is now somewhat peeling in those areas. The rest has held up pretty well. I went with a light gray. If I had to do it all again i might have gone slightly darker. The paint does not clean well and I can see the difference as to how much cleaner it is under the carpet.
I like the way stain looks better than paint but the oil stains made me choose paint.

My two cents. YMMV.
