    Mark's Colorful Legacy Epoxy Project

    I have read several people saying that, but it doesn't make sense to me. See the pictures that I took from both sides of the garage. If anything, I think a shiny metal screw or nut shows up better on a darker surface than on the light color that it blends into. Even if it did blend in, you...

    Final day of our first epoxy floor project! :):):):) We got all our tools ready to go and then used a 3" roller to go all the way around the room edges. We added the Legacy Soft Skid to our urethane and mixed it real carefully and then poured it into our paint tray. My son continued to stir...

    Went down this morning to check on the floor to see how the first coat of urethane looked. Overall it looked great! We did find a couple more dead bugs, which we were able to cut out. We did find a problem in one corner of the room. It's hard to tell from the picture, but there was one...

    Mark's Colorful Legacy Epoxy Project

    To finish off our floor project we wanted to put down two coats of urethane. We ordered four gallons of the Legacy HD 356 VOC Urethane Clean Coat. This was the only day that we had to wear a respirator to install the product. I was really glad that we had several doors and windows that we...

    That's what I kept reading here, that if you wanted a nice floor that will last, you need to do a proper job of prep on the floors. I was lucky that I had the time to put into the prep and a wonderful wife that allowed me to get the tools to do the job right! :thumbup:

    Mark's Colorful Legacy Epoxy Project

    Went down to check on the floor and we are just blown away with how awesome it looks. Like other's on here have said, pictures just don't do justice to how great the floors look. I just can't wait to get the walls and ceiling up, so that I can install the lights. I'm sure that it will really...

    I plan on pulling out the three colors (plus the silver metallic) of the floor paint chips to finish off the garage. I will use the light gray to paint the walls. All the doors, windows, electrical plugs and switches, and probably the molding will be white. I haven't decided on the cabinets...

    We finished up with the epoxy and were cleaning up the tools by around 3:30. The 4.5 gallons of the epoxy ended up being just the right amount as we had maybe a 1/2 cup left in the bucket when we finished. As other people have commented, it really takes two or three people to do this job...

    Mark's Colorful Legacy Epoxy Project

    As we did yesterday, we divided the room up into thirds and my son used a brush to paint around the edges while I used the roller and squeegee. I'm not sure if it's because of the color we chose, but at first it didn't seem like the Coke Red epoxy was thick enough to cover over the Tile red...

    We purchased 2 of the Legacy HD Epoxy kits, which was supposed to cover 300 square feet each, in "Coke Red". Each kit came with 1.5 gallons of the HD Epoxy and since we were doing 660 square feet total, we decided to order an extra 1.5 gallons. So we had three gallons of the Part A, which was...

    Mark's Colorful Legacy Epoxy Project

    Went down to the garage a little before 1:00 to check on the floor. The primer was totally dry and I was surprised how hard, slick and shiny that most of it looked. As others have stated, it looked kind of patchy in places and you could tell where the sections overlapped and there was more...

    Yes, it is going to be red, but not the same color red as the primer! You are going to have to wait until I post tonight to see the final color! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

    This evening we decided to work on a few items to get them ready for tomorrow. We are both a little nervous about installing the epoxy tomorrow. We have read about other people installing it, but until you do it for the first time, you just don't know how it will work out. One of the things...

    We started working on the primer around 3:30. It was in the upper 70's while we were working. We poured the container of Part A into the large bucket and then added the Part B while mixing with the included mixing wand. We mixed it for about 5 minutes and then poured it into the painting...
