| After talking to a number of painting contractors, I have found that the prep is the most important part of a good job. They have also all said that 2 part epoxy should be more durable. The guy that I'm probably going to use said that he will come in and acid etch, fill any cracks and apply one coat, let sit 3 days, then apply a second coat.
Don't expect your common variety floor and concrete paint from Lowes or Home Depot to hold up for long. Industrial products are formulated to handle the exposure to hot tires and the chemicals that autos bring in to your garage. Research, research, research...... Make sure that the painter you pick has done these before! Get some references and go look at the jobs if possible. An average 2 car garage can cost up too $700-900 if done right. The paints run around $60-80 a gallon. |
