Pics of my epoxy floor job.

The floor is rough in some spots. They really dont show in this "before" pic.

I used http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp?frm_product_id=56&SBL=1 in the gray color. I cleaned the surface with a commercial floor degreaser and then Simple Green in a concentrate form. I rinsed it more times than the instructions called for. I still ended up with a little lifting in a low spot. I did use a squeegee. The previous homeowner built the garage and didnt do a great job on the concrete.

I had to paint the floor over a couple days. I was doing it a couple hours a night after work. Once the epoxy is mixed it has to be used withing a certain time. You can see some of my joints because the epoxy dried too much before I went over it on the next square.

Im happy with so far. Its been down for about a year.
These pics were taken right after it was done.

I went up the walls about an inch or so.

I wrote "FORD" with the paint chips on one side of the garage.

I need to get a recent photo because the oil and dirt really make the letters stand out now.:rolleyes:

Great job on the floor. It must be easier to keep clean now.

Thanks.
Yes it is a lot easier to clean. What I like is that a few small leaks from the trannies and engines sitting around dont soak in. The FORD part is real rough because of the paint chips. I havent given the floor a good scrub since finishing it.

Ive noticted that the gray doesnt seem to ba as shiny as the tan. May be its just me?:confused:

I think the gray is a nicer color - it looks more "industrial"

I know what you mean.
Too bad the epoxy isnt strong enough to protect the floor from a car sub frame being dragged on it. :rolleyes: Even if it was just a couple inches.:o
