Garage Floor Paint Recomendations

[289FIA]

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. "
