Epoxy is the titsIve done a few on buddies garages, did it at a shop I worked at as well. If you have a slick finished concrete floor, id look into a textured finish. A smooth finish is slicker than pig shit if there is any moisture or fluids on the ground. If its rough, lay it on an enjoy. Solid investment

Guess there are different qualities, and the good stuff is still expensive, dangBeen looking at this. I have somewhere sample chips from a few years ago. https://www.armorgarage.com
That was on a house I had back in Missouri, did it in 2005. I moved out of there in 2012. The floor was as good as new when I left.
Use the high traffic area stuff and it probably lasts even longer. As with all floor coatings, how clean the floor is before coating will be the single biggest factor is how well the coating ages.Good to know. Sounds like that lasts.
You know what I made to scarify your floor and repaint??Use the high traffic area stuff and it probably lasts even longer. As with all floor coatings, how clean the floor is before coating will be the single biggest factor is how well the coating ages.
I have done factory floors over and over in my illustrious career. Epoxy is no average paint job for the home owner. Just the proper surface preparation you are not equipped for. Acid cleaning and chemical approved respirators. At safe recommended dilutions. Then you have the fumes that are poison while using. Solvents to clean up with and proper disposal. Look into it further. Not easy peezy.
Just fair warning. How may I assist. I begin by suggesting tile-clad epoxy from the 90's generation. Cheap, bullet proof, forgiving and easy clean up if you move really fast. 2 part sucks.Not your average homeowner...lol
Yes. Preferred method. Inhale a lung full or two. Chemical pneumonia. Just trying keep us all safe. Lived this fun tale.Muriatic acid will clean and etch your floor just fine if it calls for that.
I believe i opened all the windows,ran a fan, cut the acid as directed and had no problems. Not sure if I wore a respirator or not, I'd recommend it but DW is a welder so he probably knows all about fumes. Inhaling acid wasn't something I was trying to do.Yes. Preferred method. Inhale a lung full or two. Chemical pneumonia. Just trying keep us all safe. Lived this fun tale.
