I'm sure someone is going to post after me and tell me everything that I tell you is wrong... But in my experience, I find it best to remove the wood and fill the expansion joints before applying a coating. Or, remove the wood and do not fill the joints, only coat them. (Don't try to fill them...

Silica sand would be better, absolutely. We seem to love our flakes down here in TX, though... I can honestly say I've never seen a silica sand garage floor, only have installed it in pump rooms for condos and machine shops. The flakes help disperse weight; a double full broadcast system is a...

A 100% solids epoxy coating with a pigmented urethane topcoat would withstand the abuse of jack stands, toolbox casters, etc. When going with a solid color epoxy floor, I would consider it a non-issue. Of course the floor has to be properly prepped and the materials have to be properly applied...

The Detailer, I would recommend leaving the "verticals" a solid color; the metallic pigment does best on a flat surface. I would prime the entire floor and verticals with a solid color that will help your metallic colors cover. After applying your metallic pigment, you can go back and touchup...

79puller, I could list several reasons why you should NOT apply paint to a floor, and can only think of one reason why you might want to... it's cheap. But it's actually not cheap in the long run; most floor companies will charge up to $1.00 per square foot just to remove an existing coating...

Bob, No sir, no need to profile. I have applied this to smooth coatings that were clean and dry, and it bonded like glue. This product is also suitable for properly prepared steel, the pigmented version is more well known. The first coat of Rexthane will soak in to the smallest of pores, and...

houston_t, Most industrial epoxy products will hold up to this type of abuse with no issues, as long as the concrete is properly prepared. However, I would recommend a double full broadcast of decorative flakes. I feel that the flakes help disperse the weight of jacks, toolboxes, etc. But if...

southview, Tan w/ Tan Blend Flakes has become a very popular color choice in the past few years. Pros: Dirt, dust, mud, etc blend in well, floor appears cleaner for longer Gives the garage an elegant look, appears as an extension to the house The wife will typically agree to your epoxy floor...

It is very scratch resistant, as long as you let it cure properly. http://www.sherwin-williams.com/document/PDS/en/035777528228/ Out of all the clear coats that I use, Rexthane seems to cure the hardest. Pros: UV resistance Chemical resistance Scratch resistance Longevity Ease of application...

If there is a "ledge" or "drop off" where the garage door comes down... We typically grind the ledge very well, and then tape the very corner of the edge with red duct tape. This ensures a straight line at the very start of the epoxy project, which is what our customers see as they are opening...

Plott Hound, Sherwin Williams has a product called ArmorSeal Rexthane; a moisture cure urethane that holds up well on top of our stained concrete projects. It can also be applied to bare concrete. I would recommend applying 2 coats of this product. The product may slightly "amber" the color of...
