I used this one part Epoxy I found onine. It's call Armorpoxy. Seems like it is really good stuff and it is easily applied after some serious cleaning to get up old grease and whatnot. The only issue is, I am out of a garage for over a week (almost over). Also, taking everything in and out is a pain in the buttox but it give me an opportunity to sift through some of the crap I have laying around. Anyway I felt like sharing

That looks fantastic. Was it expensive? It looks so much better then the plain cement. I have seen the other epoxy that has the little chips in it for shop floors. If I had done that much work, I would want to share too. How long for it to dry enough to put things back in?

Tom,
VERY nice looking. You are correct on the slick surface - easy to clean up, but one can bust a butt VERY easily on it if wet, even with water. Be careful! I am still trying to decide what to do with my garage floor. The key, as you mentioned, is the surface preparation. Don't do a good job there, and the paint will peel. Also, the epoxy should not be affected by the heat of tires (coming from a long drive in the summer and pulling directly into the garage and parking). I am thinking of tile, but I haven't decided what kind since I want to be able to jack a car up on it. If anyone has any ideas, please post them. Again, Tom, the floor looks great!! Harry

Thnx for the remarks guys.... I slaved over that floor. It got me wicked sick as I am right now... Kinda bummed out because my B-day is shortly after new years and I am not feeling like moving right now... I hope this passes... Anyway, Harry go to Armorpoxy.com and check them out. They have all kind of floor coverings
