What would you use for basement floor paint?

What would be a good paint for a basement floor? Does the Drylock stuff not hold up well?

Unless there is a Drylock product specifically made for floors, it won't work. It does work very well on concrete block walls though.

I like the shiny enamel type rather than the flat type.

By the way, preparation is important. Usually the manufacturers ask for a wash with diluted mixture of HCL ( muriatic) acid and water. Wear a cartridge respirator and even a full face version of you can get one. ( I like the 3M version ).
