I just finished applying the coating a few hours ago and I am very pleased with the results so far.
Since we are usually very interested in the process used, here was mine.
On Friday I cleared out the garage and stuck everything inside my house or in the backyard. I cleaned out the garage with a brush and an Airblower. I then took a 50:50 bottle of Simple Green and scrubbed any areas that seemed to have any oil residue. My garage floor was very clean anyways so there were not very many stains.
I then rinsed out the garage 2 times with a hose. Instead of using the squeegee that is recommended by Rustoleum, I held a Airblower in one hand and the hose in the other. Whenever I hit an area with water, I immediately followed with the airblower so as to avoid any pooling of water in the Garage.
Then Saturday I went over the entire Garage floor with the included cleaner and a stiff brush. Rinsed twice the same way as above and then waited.
This morning I woke up and got to work in the garage at about 9am. The floor did not take very long to complete. Maybe 3 hours as I finished in time for lunch. It would have gone much faster if I had someone else that could have spread the chips while I painted.
Reading through this website, I noticed that a lot of people that have done this floor, ran out of chips. So keeping that in mind while I was applying the chips, I went very light on the chips. I used three gallons of epoxy coating on my 3 car garage but only 2 bags of those chips. Anyone that has a need for the extra bag of chips I have, post a picture of your garage and tell me why you need them. The first person to ask and show me a pic of your garage will get them for free.
After a lot of talking, here are the pics.
