Garage floor coating

I have always liked the looks of grey epoxy on a garage floor, but I have never had quite the nerve to do it. Once you do it, you can’t undo and you will have to maintain ift for life.

Do you have the product name or link that you used?

Prep is everything. You need to grind, or at minimum acid etch and pressure wash.

You don't want "epoxy". You want a polyurea(not polyurethane), or a polyasparctic coating.

There are numerous places online where you can buy quality materials. I liked and used Versatile Building Products offerings. I've done multiple garages with their products.

Technically their base coat is epoxy with a polyaspartic top clear coat

It is broom finished and has not been used yet. This is for a new home.

Anything loose or flaking up would need be removed first. I would think a good pressure washing would do the trick. A hand grinder with a cup grinding wheel would also work if the pressure washer isn’t enough.

You could do this coating on a patio. However, I personally think other coatings look better for living areas like patios. We do a lot of 1/4” concrete overlay resurfacing with slate texture finishes( stamp rollers). It looks like a real stone or real wood after it’s stained/sealed. Not the solid color, painted, epoxy look.


Ninja coatings seems to me to be a good product. It’s basically the epoxy with the flake finish over the top. But in my opinion, the epoxy and the ninja coatings look best in garages more than outdoor areas.
