Epoxy Coat (Warning Long)
I've gotten a few complements here and a couple of other sites on my garage floor and figured I'd show you guys how I did it. Mustang related because every Pony deserves a nice stable.
I did several months of research on different products of epoxy coats and floor tiles I used Epoxy Coat. http://www.epoxy-coat.com/ This stuff is absolutely the best "bang for the buck" out there. Everything you need comes in a kit and it is very reasonably priced. The majority of it was prep work. I cleaned and sanded the floor. I used and acid floor cleaner to remove any oil stains. The good thing about this stuff is that you don't need to get all the paint up but you need to get all the loose stuff that might be flaking up in order to make a good working profile on the floor. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-y...114200_217.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0...114218_158.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S...114235_369.jpg This stuff, like most epoxy, comes with a part a and part b and must be mixed thoroughly for several minutes then poured directly on the floor, spread out with a squeegee, then back roll with a paint roller and sprinkle the flakes. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-A...094608_620.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-e...094555_936.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-L...093808_574.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z...093822_062.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C...093838_161.jpg I didn't use a clear coat. It stays glossy. I did this a year ago and it still shines like it is wet. Finished it off with some caution tape from Amazon and a few other nick-knacks and fresh paint on the walls and ceiling. Plus I added 6 4' fluorescent lights. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R...192306_892.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V...192349_611.jpg Stable is now complete https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C...194614_599.jpg |
That looks great! Excellent thread too. I struggled with what to do with my floors for awhile. I still havent done anything but heavily leaning towards Racedeck.
|
Racedeck was my original plan until I had them shoot me a quote. I could epoxy five more floors for what they wanted.

Nice!

Definitely doing this in the next house. Wanted to with this one but never got to it before we moved in and now have too much shit in there lol
|
I heard that hot tires will melt it; that's the only reason why I have not done it yet. This looks like a better brand than that stuff Home Depot sells.

This is the best stuff out there. Looks the same now as it did a year ago. |
On a side note, we had an epoxy floor laid down inside our house. The house is a 1962 mid century modern, so crummy remodel tile or lame taupe carpet wasn't going to do. We priced terrazzo floors, but $25k for the downstairs area wasn't in the budget.
The epoxy floors seem to be a great idea, as it is incredibly durable and looks awesome. We used a tan base, white flake, with some brown and gold mica flecks. It's pretty baller, especially when the light is right. It's like walking on gold flakes, lol. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...rnation/34.jpg |
