Without going into detail, I need to finish my 3 car garage floor in sections (1 car space at a time). I have the large rounded over contraction joints in the concrete, so I was planning on stopping at each joint (not filling them). I would allow each section to cure before I move onto the next section. What is a good kit or system to do this with?

I'm assuming you are referring to a garage floor coating. If so, I recommend a single-part polyurea garage floor coating kit. Single-part polyurea does not require the mixing of A and B components. Pour just enough out of the container to coat what is necessary and seal it back up. DO NOT pour excess from the paint tray back into the container. It will stay fresh in the sealed container long enough for a section to completely cure before you use it again. I posted an article below that discusses single-part polyurea and where you can find it.

Once you mix a 2-part coating such as epoxy, the chemical reaction has started. After that, you use it or lose it. It's harder to find a 2-part kit with the correct square footage you need for each section. The other option with 2-part products is to measure out only what you need of part-A and part-B for a particular square footage before you mix the components.

We offer both our primer (BondTite 1101) and body coat/s (LiquaTile 1184 & LiquaTile 1143) in .375 gal kits. This offers a lot of flexibility when coating small areas without the hassle and concern of having to accurately split and store larger kits.

Consider a solid color system utilizing BondTite primer and our full ceramic LiquaTile 1143 body coat for the individual sections. When all the sections are completed go back, tape-off, and fill the troweled expansion joints with our IntegraFlex 1921 flexible joint filler (or any quality joint filler such as SikaFlex for that matter) for a really sharp and super durable floor.

First,

Understand that coating in sections always carries the risk of having a varied shade or gloss.

Second

Polyurea will be your best bet.

Third

Measure each section and give me a call. There may be a better way to split a kit to make the mixing easier
