Default Garage Flooring?

I just recently purchased a home and I would like to have the garage floor epoxied. I was wondering if you guys had any advice or any product recommendations before I got started. If possible could you also post pictures of your garage/shop floor? Thanks in advance

I went with a professional Expoy coated floor. Spent the money to have someone come out and prep it and do the entire job.

Very happy

The Garage is 800 Square feet - I think it was around 3000

30 x 30. Used the Rustoleum Garage Floor kit (gray) without the sprinkles. It was a new (3 yrs old) untreated floor with no grease or oil stains. Acid etched and let it dry for 3 days. I put a plastic floor mat on the floor and checked it every day. Once the moisture under it was gone - I painted. Mine is currently one coat - and once I get my project done - I plan to do another. Most recommend 2 coats to start with.

Marty, That does look awesome man ! Did you get the plasma hung up ?

Also, check either this forum - or the General forum. There was another thread with pics and product details for this topic.

I'm worried about doing the epoxy deal since my garage floor was poured back in 1962...

I still haven't decided what to do.

I bought a two part epoxy kit and did it myself. Days worth of prep was the hardest part, cleaning and recleaning of old oil spills and such. Then a chemical etching. It looks great and seem really durable.
Here is the brand: http://www.ippnet.com/EN/main/produc...5537/1153.html
