Good info, thanks. I've used a polyurea on top of a base in an Armorpoxy kit and it didn't last at all (EDIT: it was a polyaspartic top coat, not polyurea). Scratched incredibly easy and chipped during what I'd consider normal garage work. Yes it was installed exactly to their specs. Because...

Hi, all! I have been researching various products to seal my new garage floor. I've done plenty of epoxy, polyurea, etc floors in the past and want to try a basic sealer this time. I was pretty set on Ballistix SC at first, but then I started seeing a lot of info about Eagle Gloss Coat...

I'm well aware. I was referring to the epoxy floors that I've had in the past, not the Ballistix. Agree, there is no perfect floor, but with how much I work on my cars and other projects I need something that stands up to abuse. I've yet to find that with Epoxy type products. And yes, they...

You can. I've watched a lot of videos regarding the plusses and minuses of them. Jacks and stands aren't an issue. For stands it's advised you put a pad or wood down and I do that with my epoxy floors.

Exactly. So tired of these various epoxy floors no holding up to even light garage work. My plan at this point is to use the Ballistix and see how it goes. If it's not what I'm looking for I'm going to go with Racedeck/Swisstrax or something similar. I'm not a huge fan of those because I...

Thank you for the feedback! I'll do some more research on the issues you noted.

Hi everyone. We will be closing on our home in a couple months and its a new build. We have built homes in the past and I've always painted the floors using various options (epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurea, etc.). I've had issues with yellowing from tires using the urethane/polyurea and with...

Correct! No color flake with Polyaspartic top coat. Thank you for the clarification on the pints. So since the Polyaspartic goes on last I'm assuming the "Armor Ultra/Armor Clad that is in the 5 gallon buckets that you mix 2:1 must be the second coat. I'll try emailing and leaving a message...

Hi guys, I have the Armorpoxy 3 part system I'm about to install and just want to verify which product to use for the 2nd and 3rd coats. My instructions do not match the product I received so I want to be absolutely sure before laying it down and Armorpoxy is closed on the weekend. I am laying...

Thank you. I am just looking for a simple gray like my last floor - no flake, as I work on cars a lot and it's a nightmare to find dropped washers, nuts etc on a flaked floor. Sounds like my best option is an epoxy base coat topped with a pigmented polyaspartic then.

Thanks Andy, but don't Polyurethanes have issues with yellowing from UV? Based on my research it seems that the polyaspartic does not yellow from UV nor will it cause the yellowing under hot tires. I'm just concerned of it not adhering well due to the fast cure time. Would it be advisable to...

Hi all, I am having a house built with a 4 car garage (will be finished around August). I used the Armorpoxy Polyurea product on my previous garage floor and while it performed well - I'm not easy at all on my floors - it had terrible "hot tire pickup" so I had unsightly yellow spots where all...

And it smells like regular house paint. I'm pretty sure I got the wrong stuff here.

I am about to lay down my Armorpoxt SPGX and was going to mix the Gray pigment and anti slip powder. I opened the can just now and its white. I was under the impression this should be clear??
