Since moving into my place I've been wanting to coat my floor, it was painted already (pain the ass), but I wanted a nice "floor kit" to install.

Lets just say.....2 days of stripping/sanding/cleaning and finally etching completed! What a pain...but this better turn out nicely!

Plan on getting some nice cabinets setup after as well...still figuring those out, thats a project for later down the road :)

It's a lot of work but it looks good when done.
Have fun.

Stripping
Sanding
Degreasing
and Etched

Then coated :)

Royal pain the ass...and off course in FL it had to rain after I put the top coat on, so waiting longer for dry time. Its an interesting product, as it was not an epoxy kit.

Application was easy (prep was horrible). Definitely a two man project, as the base coat starts to dry in 10mins!

Thanks....Now to repaint the wall and get some nice metal cabinets :)

I'm leaning towards the Gladiator Series from Lowes/Sears, just because they are easily available. Just need a few, so not going to make it a "huge" project, but I always ***** about not having a small work bench, and they have a fold down version that I think would fit what I want....Just do not have the floor space to install one that doesnt fold up when not in use

I can't wait until I own a home... my garage is going to be pimp. I like those coatings alot.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?

This kit was 249.00 from Lowes, enough to do a 2.5 car garage. If I added up all hte cleaning products I purchased in prepping the floor, I would say I spent around 300, as I purchased more "chips" as well

This is my first house as well....Now to finish the garage on the upcoming 3 day weekend! New paint on the wall, and new cabinets!

I stained mine, cause it was a way to be different, but
if I had it to do all over again I'd go the route you did.

It holds up really well, but it's kinda dull and not very shiny.

I even cleared mine twice, it only shines when mopped :lol:

(It looked like glass when I first did it last year)
