try the flake floor from your local "paint place" they have all different colours & surface finishes but make sure to read the instructions we use this on factory floors & under house areas & just did a lab for soil testing cost is dearer than jet dry floor paint but you get what you pay for & they will warrant there product if you follow the directions & prep products / hope this helps rob rob's renovations& innovations [ chippy's ] |
Thanks Rob. I was keen to get a plain colour if possible - so not sure if 'flake' means it has a random pattern. Can be hard to find small washers!
Will check it out. |
merv
you can get all block colours[ the flake can be taylored to your requirements ] jaguar /rollsroyce use it for there workshop floors flake is one colour & you add other colours to it if you want [ the base is usally white ] well thats what we use to give light reflect in dark areas rob |
Thanks Rob. This is the one: http://www.auzzieedges.com.au/concrete-coating.html
I guess I can do it myself? That is no contractor is needed? |
Merv,
I used Jotun's Jotacote 605 on my shed floor. Cheers |
Looks good Geoff. Did you spray it?
|
With a new slab, how long should you wait before painting and sealing the new slab?
I have come to realise I am beter off just to pay someone to assemble mine, I got onto a guy yesterday, He came out for a look today, and will start site prep tomorrow to pour footings. Then he will be back in about 3 weeks to assemble shed, then straight after that I have concretors organised for the pour, then wait to seal. |

Nope, it was rolled on. I didn't do the work....was in Saudi paying for it :LOL: Boxhead, Jotun like the slab to cure for a month, then it is acid etched. Once it's all clean and dry they apply the finish. Cheers |

This crowd have some pretty good products, I haven't done a garage floor with it just parking areas and driveway; http://www.parchem.com.au 2 part sealer and tint will cost about $190 for 20lt. Some branches seem a bit dearer than others. I've found Riverstone pretty good and I think there's one in Penrith. Heed the safety warnings it can be nasty. The product I used was this one, with a charcoal tint; 'The Coloured Concrete Sealer system is ideal for colouring and protecting plain concrete. It is a two part system; Part A the colour sealer clear base and Part B the colour tint. The Colour Tint (Part B) is added to the Colour Sealer Clear Base (Part A), and then applied using a roller or soft bristled broom' They have other products as well, see the brochure. cheers |
Thanks guys. These guys have both the Swisstrax/similar tiles and the latest Citadel paints which are supposed to be 4 times tougher than epoxy ...
http://www.flexico.com.au/citadel-po...floor-coatings and for the tiles: http://www.flexicoqld.com.au/floors Dave - all seem to say at least a month for the concrete to fully sure before coating. However, with the heat you are having there ... |
Remote Oil Sender Unit LS Series
Hi People,
I need to add an engine oil cooler to the Daytona, like the driver it gets a bit HOT on the track. I am running the 2009/2010 Camaro sump ( for extra ground clearance ) so I need an adaptor to suit, anyone done this already?? Part numbers would be great.....:3DSMILE::3DSMILE: STIFFY |
I eventually went with these guys as they have a local supplier/applicator: http://www.concretecoloursystems.com...ing_system.php
Will be done on Monday-Tuesday at a very reasonable price including all preparation for 6 x 6 mtr area (< $1400) |
I used Ameron Two Pac Epoxy for concrete......used a concrete grinder to run over the floor 100sqm this made the surface beautiful and smooth (if you want the top coat smooth youve got to get concrete smooth first) I then etched it with hydrocloric Acid 4-1 then pressure cleaned it .....I left it for a week then vacuumed before painting... The Ameron Epoxy could be driven on after about 3 days but took probably a month before it was rock hard
|
Having all that done today. Spent weekend cleaning the concrete and filling any holes and small cracks. House is quite new still. Will be interested to hear what the applicator says about drying time!
|
Merv,
How did the coating go, any pics and your prelim thoughts ? DaveW |
Happening as I type Dave. The Gloss coats are going over the flake/resin.
Will do in 24 hrs! |
All done Dave. An impressive product. Has a 2 pack epoxy base, flake and then 2 pack urethane top coats. Very tough stuff and resistant to almost every fluid known to man. Can be driven on in 24 hrs but I will wait 48.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Garage_11.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Garage_21.jpg The cost was about $800 more than I could buy the materials for and included a diamond cut re-surfacing of the concrete, acid wash, etc. Was (only) 38 sqmtrs. |
Looks good Merv, and will be easy to keep clean as well.
I have garage floor envy. Cheers. |
I was going to eat dinner off it but the smell ... The guy that did it just got the contract for the new Jet Star terminal this week.
|
