Garage Floor Paint/Coating - what's best ??
bob haller wrote:
no matter what you use it will age detoriate and require future maintence. garage floors are meant to be oily till its time to sell, then use epoxy or whatever to dress it up I've done three residential garage floors now with two part epoxy, properly applied and I can tell you that after 10 years each of those floors looked virtually the same as when the epoxy was applied. And oil wipes up with paper towels. That said, you need to do the prep properly and you need to use a real industrial two part coating - not the junk they sell in the big box or retail paint stores. If you live in California, you have my condolences. I suspect all they sell there (thanks to CARB) is the water based junk. I'm partial to Benjamin Moore's industrial line, but there are others. If you Google Groups on Bob's name and epoxy, you'll see he seems to have something of a crusade against epoxy floors... |
