As the epoxy your garage floor!

This is a very important thing to do these days and can really improve the appearance and functionality of your garage. However, if done incorrectly or the wrong product, we regret That more and finishing the floor, I have good experience with the type of epoxy garage Sherwin Williams had sold, but there are many many other good products to various retailers. What to watch the floor for the selection of a garage is an epoxy resin that you do not need to etch "theAcid soil with a product before. Many high-end professional products require this, but for most homeowners, you are using a product that does not require this in order. The only way could be your floor is acid etch, if the garage floor is stained with oil / grease and very old. etching cleans the surface and makes it rough and porous paint () accepts. Ask the person behind the desk to paint when you need it or not!

Here are the advantages and disadvantages of the completion of the plan. Then we plan goes through the proper way to paint garage / epoxy on.

Finish garage floor has the following advantages:

First look better.

According washing capacity of materials spills easier.

Third Protect your concrete.

The Fourth we say, it looks cool?

Now some disadvantages:

Often your first> Plan More Slippery When Wet (even if you add non-slip material).

According If incorrect, the utility and appearance of your garage (chipping, pick-up hot tire made ruins, trademarks, etc.).

When choosing a garage floor color / epoxy chosen to go with the epoxy. I've never seen a painting of tires for a garage floor is good that heat, no matter what the color says store sales person. Hot tire pick-up is easy if you train in yourGarage after the race and the tires are warm enough for a product than actually deduct your garage floor and keep the tires on the ground. Talk to one of a mishmash. Find a kit with two-part epoxy patches of color and additive slip in the kit. The kit includes a typical small can of activator, a gallon large base of epoxy resin, colored spots add to the aesthetics and slip additive. Just follow the instructions Scope of the paint.

Before Generally, we recommend washing or to a minimum, clean the pressure and sweep the surface of the paintings (many of these products can be concrete surfaces for use at home or outside in). Make sure the surface is very dry and clean of dust and debris.

Mix the second activator (small can) that large. An electric mixer works great, but this is for color paddles work well.

Pour the mixture into a third> And you cut ink region) are damaged in the painting with a brush, junk (capito.

Fourth Wear colors to work in areas that, while hitting the young at a time, with a 8.3 "or 2.1" nap roller. Many times the garage floor is concrete poured about 2-6 blocks apart. Only one block of color at a time and be careful not to paint yourself into a corner.

Fifth Once you paint on the product you can use theColor patches, while the color is still wet (most people like the look of these places).

Now the sixth most important, make sure you buy the clear sealant to dominate the epoxy resin (normally sold separately is pictured). If you use this enamel coating, epoxy bottom layer of the chip is known, and the spots will be ripped to obtain. They draw level just as you paint the epoxy floor. Depending on the type of kit you get, there is usually aslip additive can be either the base or top coat epoxy paint transparent glaze mix. Use non-slip additive! Without this addition, the color of ice act like a wet leaf. You can also add a little 'more anti-slip additive to the upper mantle or lower is supplied with the kit, but you must purchase separately.

Some things to note is that it will not be able to drive on the freshly painted surface for a few days. Try to avoid too much scraping yourSnow blower and other instruments of power on the epoxy as possible.
