Concrete Coating

Phil,

I am in the same boat, nearly finished painting the inside ( well not me but someone ).

I had a look at Leeroys floor a few weeks ago and it looked fantastic.

I am going to purchase some of the paint today and start masking up.

Leeroy should do an Aussie Mike and give us some pic's and tips on his job.....
hint hint......

I know he used a 2 part apoxy and it cost about $1k in paint to do a LARGE garage ( 7 meters by 12 meters ) i reckon.

That works out at about $12.00 per square meter.

The quote I had was $23.00 per square meter and that included grinding and 2 coats of epoxy. The floor is 280 square meters so every dollar I can save would be great.

Do you need to grind the surface first?

If you're interested. I can get a deal with snap together tiles from Swisstrax.
Sweep, then lay down your floor.

Zedn, have you used that product? If so, did you go for the deluxe kit with the clear coat? Happy with the results?

Lucky Phil,

I purchased the paint today and the guy was really helpfull with the application tips. He said he does it on the side ( applying the paint ) and gave me some great tips.

1. use hydrochloric acid 4 to 1

2. This is to roughen up the surface and allow the paint to penetrate

3. The first coat should have 10-20% thinners so it will soak into the crete

4. The second coat should be done with a smooth brush/roller to get the smooth finish.

5. The paint once mixed has about a 90 minute cure time, so dont do too much at a time.

No, i havnt used it. I was planning to do the floor in the my current place, but moved all my crap in before getting a chance. Plus the drainage is really bad here an my garage floods when it rains

If its as good as their other stuff then it should work well.
