I really like the gray color. I never thought of any other color. I guess to me concrete is supposed to be somewhat gray. I think I would stay away from the blues and red and so forth. The only other I would consider would be the taupe. I also have a concrete driveway in front of my garage...

I bought 6 extra pounds plus what came with the kit. That was for almost 1200 sq. ft. I would think 4 lbs. for 700 would be adequate.

No, I cut in the edges as I went. For some reason it did not set up as quick on the brush. I did almost 1,200 sq. ft. in 12 different sections and used 2 of the 3 brushes that Epoxy-Coat supplied in the kit. The reason I did not go all the way to the driveway is that they said it would...

I will try to answer both posts together. I did almost 1200 sq. ft. by myself in around 3 hours. Yes I had time to spread out the flakes. I did not have any trouble blending the different sections in. I had 12 sections. The floor drain should not be a problem unless the fall to it is very...

Yes, you do NOT use a clear coat. This is about as easy as epoxy gets, I think. One coat and you are done. You have to keep moving, you have about 15 minutes per batch. I did about 100 sq. ft. at a time. Correct, mix, pour, squeege, roll first time, do another area, then go back and roll...

They explained to me, it is also on the first page of their site, that the more coats of anything you put on the more likely it is to delaminate. That is why I liked their one coat system. Yes, you can feel the flakes a little, but that is what keeps it from being so slippery. They do lie flat.

To answer the last 2 posts. The Epoxy-Coat that I used is a one coat process. It does not use a clear coat, therefore should not yellow. They ( http://www.epoxy-coat.com/ ) did tell me that it may yellow if used outside the garage doors, so I masked it off right under the garage door seal...

Yes I made a set, but only because I wanted to be prepared just in case. I did not use them. I used drywall screws through 1/2 inch plywood. They would have worked, but I never used them.

Yes, I did it in 12 sections of about 100 sq. ft. each. I really didn't have much trouble blending each section as long as you get it spread out quickly. The thicker it is the faster it sets. I used a 1/2 gal. and a 1 qt. plastic container and had them ready to pour together. It is self...

All in all with the 18" rollers and larger squeege and things, it came out to almost exactly $1.00 per sq. ft.

They do lie flat. I might of had 2 or 3 that didn't. I simply took a razor blade and cut them off. I did not use the alum oxide. It seems to be fairly slip resistant with the vinyl flakes. I have not had water on it yet.

As far as I know this is the only place you can get it: http://www.epoxy-coat.com/ Great stuff and great people to deal with!

I would say if you can swing it to buy one kit and a half. They do sell a half kit. You can put this stuff on up to 1/2 inch thick if you could hold it to that. I put on as thick a coat as I could. I used 3 full kits for a little less than 1200 sq. ft. One kit would probably do it, but for...

I forgot to upload them. They are now in a separate thread. I will try to edit that. Sorry, Eddie

Here are the photos of my garage, before and after. Eddie
