Default Coated my garage floor!

I coated my garage floor with the Rustoleum Epoxy floor coating this weekend and it turned out really nice. I used the tan color and used the flakes also. Here are some before and after pictures.

Looks sharp. I did mine with the grey Rustoleum and aside from a few tiny flakes, it has held up beautifully.

That looks damn good, probably makes the floor a lot easier to clean too.

I plan on doing this in a couple of weeks. Where did you buy the stuff?

Yeah, I would imagine that it will be a lot less maintenance than before. I bought mine at Lowe's. It is around $60.00 for one kit which will do 250 Sq Ft.

$60 for 25sqft seems a little high.. is it really that high?

I never saw the point. Its just going to get messed up with oil, gas, antifreeze, slush coming off your car in the winter, animal guts and blood from what the cat killed, cat ****, mud, etc.

Neither of our cars leak fluids, so my floor stays clean all of the time. We have a drain in the garage so it makes it easy for cleanup in the winter months. Oh, and there are no cats in my garage! I guess it's all about wanting to have your home look nice, I'm just **** about that.

That's EXACTLY the point. I've spilled all kinds of crap on the garage floor and clean up is a matter of wiping up with some shop towels. The only thing that stained it was sesame oil, which is a little unsettling, since that's the only fluid I've spilled on it that I would actually eat...
