I used the rustoleum epoxy kit and it came out pretty good for the cost just have to wait to see if it holds up.

 

i want to do this this yr. Need to find a good quality epoxy

 

Looks great. I'm still trying to decide what to do

 

Very nice. Would love to have that on my garage floor.

 

Awesome man. Would love to have a GARAGE.

 

nice job, was the prep work hard??

 

Looks great! Did the same thing to my Brothers Garage (4 car garage) 2 years ago and my old house also. Prep can be a pain. The more stains/wear and tear on the garage floor the more you will need to scrub and clean. Once you clean it, you should wait 24 hrs to let it dry and begin painting in sections. FYI..Careful when walking on the epoxy when their is water on the floor. It can be slippery.

 

tell me about it! looks good though

 

Prep was a pain in the ***. My garage floor is about 8 years old and had a ton of tar and oil stains from the previous owner and some oil spots from myself so I used purple power and a pressure washer then the concrete etch that came with the kits and a scrub brush then patched the cracks and waited about 2 days for it to dry the actual painting was easy and was done in about an hour. Just make sure you put the epoxy on pretty thick so it has an even shine thats the one mistake that I had made but I am happy with it. Its still a garage floor so it really doesn't have to be perfect as long as it keeps the stains away.

 

my question was gonna be how does it do when its wet i wanted to do it in mine but i have a drive up a long hill to get in mine and i would be afraid of it slipping if it was ever wet (not my car it doesnt see rain anymore but the others do)

 

instructions say it could be slippery when wet and they have an anti slip additive but I didn't use it and haven't even had my cars on it still have to wait another 5 days before it fully cures.

 

ha.. i did the same thing. looks identical.

i'd rather have black n white checkered floor.. magnoliam (sp)... might switch one day.

When people do the checkered floors and what not; what materials is that done with?

 

Checkered floors are usually tile ie industrial stuff used in schools and such. At least for the ones I have seen.

 

Whatever you do don't use POR-15's floor coating. Its called floor armour I think. I researched and found a thread about 30 pages long of guys who have used it, had it fail and got told to suck it by the company. I've heard U Coat it is the most durable.

 

the $60 rustoleom kit is great.

 

That's what I was thinking. The checkerboard looking stuff? That's amazing. I'd need a Ferrari to go with it

 

Looks great man. My dad wants me to help him do his garage like that. I hope that he keeps forgetting. Im not looking foward to doing this but I know it will look great afterwards.

 

Looks good and $60 has me thinking about doing it also! Where did you get the kit? Hopefully its enough to do my HUGE 13x24 one car garage

 

Home depot sells them. I bought two and I do not know why but it only took one to do my 22X20 two car garage and I put it on pretty thick too.
