I like that idea, but I am wondering what I could apply after the convertor that would adhear to, metal, slightly rusted metal and painted metal. Alternatively I could use this primer for slightly rusted/painted...

I want to refinish and protect exterior steel on my metal building, It was originally painted maroon, not sure if that is red oxide?, I know steel is commonly this color, so I assume its some common type of coating. I have read a good bit about different methods and products.. My dilemma is I...

Any suggestions on waterbased epoxy product? Also, would I find a noticeable benefit in using two coats of either product? My main concerns in order are Durability(chemical resistance), Yellowing, orange peel look, maintaining gloss. Also, Should I be concerned about what the floor will look...

I finally ended my debate between polish/seal and epoxy/urethane and decided to go with the epoxy A few years ago I used epoxy-coat + HPU 747 urethane in my garage and it is still going strong except outside the garage door that is yellowed. Makes sense I suppose since it is exposed to the sun...

Okay I think I am going to change my mind, I have done an epoxy/urethane before, so I know how to do it. I did an acid wash before so I am a bit scared about grinding, but have read a bunch about it so shouldn't be a big issue. Is there a certain type of epoxy I should consider to avoid...

I have a hair salon and need 1250 sqft of concrete done. I am juggling doing a polish/seal/topcoat vs epoxy/topcoat. Anyways I wanted to chime in on the price thing. to do a polish/densify/seal I have a quote of $3500. He has 15 year experience, talked to the guy for an hour, he knows his...

Its kinda hard to tell from the picture, how would you compare it to: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2270036&postcount=24 Because that is the look I am going after, a semi to high gloss industrial type look. I just talked with a polisher and they use the same product so I...

the urethane doesn't yellow the epoxy does. But, maybe there is another epoxy that doesn't I used epoxy-coat in my garage and was going to use them again, but they cannot give me any certainty that it won't yellow However, regardless I do like the polished look, I was just worried about the...

I dont want to do epoxy+urethane because of UV yellowing. That was my original choice.

Did you grind the floor first? and polish before applying the bellatrix? as per this video: I was hoping to avoid the cost of having to pay someone to polish

TUF SEAL J35 I am thinking of putting this on the floor of a hair salon as it seems to be the best option. The floor is 5 years old but has never had anything applied. I want to keep the concrete color, although I do understand it may darken some. What prep is needed? I don't mind touching up...

Hmm I found metallix epoxy kits but they have no mention of urethane, basically I want the look of polished concrete like this: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/polished-concre-15196 But I am afraid if I just polish and seal it will not be chemical proof, if hair dye spills on it? that is why I...

Ya I guess we will just have to take steps to make sure the floor is dry. Also, any recomendations on a polyurethane to create a glass like gloss? I am also wondering what is the pupose of the epoxy? Why not use two coats of urethane?

The reason I wanted to use urethane was in case hair dye spilled on the floor and for UV protection. I was doing a little testing on my garage floor and realized its not as slippery as I thought unless I am wearing crocks or sandals which is what I would normally wear when it was raining. I...
