What I did this weekend

roaringmouse · 01-02-05, 03:11

I started to clean my garage to prepare for my car and 18 hours later I ended up with this. Currently nearly everything that was in my garage is in my house. I can't move most things back in for 48 hours and I can't drive on it for 7 days.

Cost $148
2 Kits @ $58ea
2 Gal White Paint @ $16gal

This produce has been posted before but I'm sure there are many new members that haven't seen it.

Very nice transformation. Looks like you have been busy.

All I am seeing is red x's where you posted the products.

What did you use and how long do these coatings typically last? I have a home that is only 1.5 years old and have been thinking about doing this to my garage as well.

Strange the pics seem to be working. They are hosted on photobucket.com. Try right clicking on an X and see if show picture or something to that is offered.

I used Rust-Oleum Epoxy Shield. You can read about it here:

That is a great transformation!

Kinda makes me want to do it! What exactly are the advantages of having that floor?

According to Rust-Oleum

The Ultimate Garage Floor
Get the kind of showroom-quality garage floor that will make you the talk of the neighborhood

Long-lasting performance
Protects against gasoline, antifreeze, motor oil, salt and hot tire pick-up
Easy to keep clean

It is very important that you clean VERY well before applying this. I cleaned 6 times until I could rub my finger across the floor and not pickup dust. Prep is much harder then application.

It's the paint chips that you sprinkle over the epoxy.

Kick ***! That looks 1000% better doesn't it? I am actually going to finish mine up tonight or tomorrow. I only got half done before we had a wicked cold snap here and I have been dying to finish it up! I just bought a muscle car so I have to finish it to store my new project.

Wow, awesome job! Only problem is I wish they have the instructional video on DVD instead of VHS, I don't have a VCR anymore!

roaringmouse · 01-03-05, 04:49

The instructional video is not that great, only 5 min long. All you need are the printed instructions.
