I've been wanting a new floor option for a few years now. Was originally planning to try interlocking freeflow tiles and this past winter changed my mind to epoxy. You seem offended that I'm not interested in your approach to this project. Not sure why, everyone has different tastes and...

I prefer a low/no VOC and higher mil grade this time around. Not planning to be redoing this again in a few years. Primer/base/UV resistant clear is the preferred direction for me.

Thanks all. Got my answer and will stay the course to do it all at once. What's another year at this point.

Good point.

400 sq ft. Basic suburban garage. I'm not doing store bought this time. Planning to go with a multi step polyurea or 100% solids with Polyurea clear. Possibly heavy flake. Looking at over $1000 for just the epoxy. Add in the grinding rental and spot crack repair too. I'm doing it all myself.

Every winter I get excited to redo my garage floor the following summer. It has an older store bought epoxy that has seen better days. But unexpected expenses always come up that puts the "want" of a new garage floor on the back burner. So I got to wondering how I could spread the costs...

The cleaning will be something to consider for sure. This is not a showroom, just a typical suburban garage that houses two daily driver cars, typical lawn mower/snow blower and I work in there for basic car maintenance or even use for tool setup for home DIY projects. I'm good about keeping it...

Going DIY. Since posting this, I've found some online images of what I am thinking. These are more full flake though. I want less flake but a darker overall look.

I'm in a similar situation. I need to back my car into our 2-car detatched garage as my side is directly behind the house. The offset from the driveway forces me to perform a 'S' shaped turning process to get in and once in the garage I'll usually have some final wheel turning to straighten out...

Had anyone done a black base coat epoxy with medium flake? I'm considering going this route with maybe some beige, white, gray medium flake. But would love to see some pictures of what others have used to help me visualize. Am I asking for trouble trying to keep a floor like that looking...

When I originally did my garage floor 18 or so years ago, I wasn't too concerned with perfection. Purchased a basic Rustoleum kit from the big box store and didn't bother to fill any divots/cracks that were there. I'm looking to upgrade next year and would like to level off the entire floor...

Long thread warning. Northern Illinois member here. Roughly a 400 sq ft detatched garage built in the 50's with no heat besides a portable propane unit. Been in this house for over 21 years and have gone through a few iterations of garage flooring. Gearing up to start over in 2026. Figured...

I did roll out G-Floor mats about 8-10 years ago. They were small coin design and worked well for me. But in time I've gotten some stretching and areas that won't lay flat anymore from the vehicle parking in the same spot everyday and causing it to buckle. I'm in the north though so maybe the...

I'm considering a new wet/dry vac for the garage. Next Spring I intend to install TrueLock Free-Flow rigid tiles in my 420sq ft space. I currently have a 18 gal 6.5hp Shop Vac brand that has a 2.5" diameter hose. It's been good for my usage, but just way too big to keep in the garage full...

I'm looking for a new project and turned my attention to the ceiling of the garage. It is a typical 2-car suburban detached garage. Concrete block walls are already finished. Slat wall installed, enough lighting and storage. Torpedo heater used when needed, lately only if I need to do some...
