Garage Floor Paint Recomendations

[FUNFER2]

Hello Frank, try and call me today so we can chat about flooring options. We race sprint cars tonight if, it does not rain AGAIN !

After seeing several floors using epoxy paint, I will never use it for many reasons. Here is a link to "SwissTrax". Jay Leno and several Nascar teams us it, as you'll see on the site.

This will be set up going only from me, until you're ready to buy, just like with my group buy for the Billboard tires and the 2-post garage lift. Then I will have everyone contact my sales person for payment.

I don't know if you were able to read my email but, I'm not, employed by the company, I just like to share good products and pricing for all of us. I plan on setting up another "Group Buy" here on CC next week. Were all getting 30% off per sq. ft. WOO-HOO ! lol.

The tiles I'm talking about is similar to Race Deck but better and lower cost. After seeing several floors using epoxy paint, I will never use it for many reasons. Here is a link to "SwissTrax". Jay Leno and several Nascar teams us it, as you'll see on the site.

Really? Again with the product slamming? The facts are not true,RaceDeck is not similiar to any of the cheap copies on the marekt and with the CC discount, RaceDeck is far less costly and available to all members - Guaranteed!

Don't use the stuff from home CHEAPO!! I did my garage over last year and it just pealed right up and i had someone from there take a look at it because they thought i might not haved etched the floor enough but we definetly did. And don't waste you breath talking to them because you will get no where!

Similar to Ucoat It, Costco offers EpoxyGuard.

My previous neighbor used it with great results. Good surface prep is the key to success. (Isn't it always that way when painting?)

Go to www.costco.com and search item # 283347. $239.99/480sqft

Anyone else experienced this product?

The June edition of Grassroots Motorsports has an article " Concrete Conundrum " , page 111. Must be too early for the article to be referenced on line, search did not return any results.

GM lists theses alternatives with comments:

Paint
Epoxy floor covering
Stained or dyed concrete
Plastic mats
Plastic tiles
Polished concrete

Recapped is the application of UCoat on their, GM , 50 year old concrete. Also mentioned Ucoat used in Jay Leno's shop

The following was copied from a Real Estate listing in FL:

Garage Floor:

" 8-mil ply moisture barrier on 100-percent compacted lime rock. 6" concrete slab with No. 5 rebar and 6" O.C. each way, poured monolithic with a 12"x24" footer with four No.8 rebar continuous. "

" Floor Coating: Epoxy / Urethane System by Pro Painting of Hollywood, Florida : "

" The floor was steel shot-blasted to clean and abrade the surface to a profile similar to 80-grit sandpaper. This ensures proper adhesion of the new flooring system. Next, a penetrating epoxy sealer was applied. Then all cracks, voids, pinholes, and so on were patched with epoxy patching cement. Next, two coats of High Performance Epoxy were applied twenty-four hours apart, tinted a light tan color with a dry film thickness of 9 mil. This provides a smooth solid base for the finish coats. Then two coats of Aliphatic Urethane tinted the same light tan with a dry film thickness of 5 mil were applied 24 hours apart. The urethane is extremely durable and resistant to abrasion, chipping, and resistant to all automotive chemicals, fuels, and oils. High-gloss finish will not fade and cleans very easily, just mop or wipe. "
