Garage-MOD Got a free can (1 gallon) of SealKrete 1-part Epoxy floor paint as a gift and then I had to get the paint flakes to go w/it. . .
I'm on vacation this week and knocking out the usual "honey-do" list...seriously!
Well, I put this near the top and it came time. This morning, rearanged ALOT of stuff in my garage
And started by sweeping it and vacuuming 3 times,
Then hit it with a pressure washer and muriatic acid if I'm spelling it right to etch it.
First coat went down pretty easily, although I was supposed to make it a thin coat. Went full strength on primary coat.
Photo probably doesn't show it well, but it was almost reflective for the 1st coating.
Had a helper today. . .my son Jon decided I couldn't effectively watch the paint dry, so he stood in for me when I went to grab some Mt Dews for us. . .
Ain't he cute
Finally after it dried for about 2 hours, I couldn't wait and put the 2nd coat down thick again and added the black/grey/white paint flecks/chips.
Since I've got alot of stuff. . .I'll finish the other half probably Thursday. Let this dry for 36 hours before moving stuff onto it. Should be dry enough for 'Mod-Saturday', as long as 'Mod-Saturday' is after 6:30 PM. . . by that time, OU should have handled UT well enough that I will be owed numerous steak dinners (have a few bets out there). And for Al. . .

they come in a clear plastic shaker can almost identical in size to a 12 oz soda can at Lowes...about 9 bucks and come in several color combinations. Same section as the epoxy floor coatings.
