Hello,

I'm about to build a double wide garage that will be heated. What I plan
on doing to the floor is painting it in a checkerboard pattern (black and
white) and parking a collector vehicle on it. I am looking for anyone that
has done this sort of thing. I am looking for a very high gloss , shiney
finish.. I'm wondering if I should use an epoxy cement paint to start,
then use any durable paint to go over it? Thanks in advance from help
from someone that has experienced doing this. Jim


If you want to paint the floor with epoxy, make SURE your concrete guy does
not use the fiberglass-reinforced concrete for the floor.
I can tell you from experience that the epoxy will solidify the glass fibers
pretty much like needles and you'll have a rougher floor that will shred a
mop like a cheese grater.
On the positive side, the floor will be non-slip without adding the grip
additives to the paint.
