UCoat-It Garage Pics - finally!

[armoredsaint]

Well, after 3 days of work, I finally finished it. It's light gray with granite fleks. If I had a chance to do it again, I would not use the fleks, maybe it's just me? Overall I am happy with the results! It said it will take a total of 7-10 days for full cure

Day 1: I did 2 rounds of de-greaser and rented a power scrubber with black pad from Home Depot, it definitely made prepping/cleaning the garage ALOT easier. Then a muratic acid wash according to instructions. I then applied the base coat to a damp floor, it is normal for the roller marks and they basically serves as a primer coat.


Day 2: It took about 16 hours for the 1st coat to dry, then the 2nd coat (Finish Coat) and the fleks, I went a little crazy on the fleks, used too much and some of it clumped up when I tossed it up in the air.



Day 3: The UGloss-AF coat which basically seals in the fleks and the previous 2 coats, it really gives it an awesome shine and pop!



not edited for bad spelling and grammar and my digital camera doesn't like my garage lighting, gives it a yellowish tint

Just remember, no wax on that floor for 2months.

We have that floor in our garage, but not the stuff that seals in the flakes. It looks like sh!t now b/c the flakes are peeling up.

What was the total cost of it all?

it was $522 shipped from Michigan to Ohio, I could have brought the Rustoleum for $140 from Home Depot. But, I wanted something that was multi-step, only time will tell how it holds up.

Looks nice, but does it get very slippery when wet?

Was your floor bare or did you have another coating on the floor before you did this? I have a cheap contractor grade paint on my 15 yr old floor, some of it is worn away. I guess I would need to strip the old paint off before doing something like this.

Does it come in different colors?

it's new construction, so no stripping and the concrete is only about a year old and check out UCoat It America - Garage and Concrete Floor Coatings they have a color simulator and cost estimator, the CS is EXCELLENT, always answers the phone, even on weekends!

as for slippery, that do give you a little bottle of aluminum oxide to add traction, but i decided not to use it, it makes cleaning the floor harder.

7-10 days before i can park on it.
