When I said tinted I meant not to have it Pure white but maybe have it tinted to a differant color like grey or tan or whatever you want. White is going to show the most yellowing. Mine is holding up good to scratches my kids ride there bikes and there power wheels in there all the time and i...

Another thing you could do if your worried about yellowing is not have your basecoat white. I used macropoxy and you can have it tinted almost any color. Than it wouldnt show as bad or at all.

I used the rexthane in my garage as a topcoat and it hasnt yellowed yet. Its only 3 months old but the door is always opened and faces south. I did have a spot I missed with the rexthane and it is yellowing there. I used sw macropoxy for my base coat. It seems really hard and durable.

check out my old posts on macropoxy. I used rexthane as a top coat over macropoxy and colored chips and didn't have any issues with melting. Mine has been down for a few months now and I love it. No yellowing of the clear coat yet. My garage faces south also. I had one spot that I missed...

check out my post under macropoxy. As far as I know its just a clear coat.

I used macropoxy and loved it. Other than the very strong smell it seems really good. Check out my posts on macropoxy. I used sw rexthane as a clearcoat and zero yellowing or no tire tracking yet. ( Its been a good month since I put it down).

Kind of funny when you dont want the paint to stick to concrete it will, but when you want it to, like a garage floor, people have issues with it comming up without any solevents.

If its a latex paint I would use denatured alcohol (try that first), If its spray paint its probaly a lacquer based so you could try lacquer thinner. Try just a liitle bit at first, if it doesnt stain dump it on there and use a wire brush and scrubb. If that dont work try m.e.k and if that...

Hey ticktack what a small world, I was at sw today. If you go back a page or two I got some pictures posted of my macropoxy floor. I used flakes with no sand and rexthane over the top. If you can private message me your number I can call you and we can setup a time to comeover and see it. I...

gabeancounter-I dont know if all urethanes leave the tire marks but the guy I talked to at sw said its something with the chemicals in the rubber tires that react with the urethane. He said you might be able to take a mineral spirts and wipe them up, but wasnt for sure it would work. (...

I used the sw rexthane and it does smell really bad for a day or two. I was told it is moisture curing meaning it use the humidity in the air to dry. The data sheet says the humidity should be between 30% and 99% . If its lower it takes a lot longer to cure. One day after i put it down it...

Yes i did use a clear coat. I used a product from sherwin williams called rexthane. Its a one part, moisture cure, urethane, (that is very strong smelling as well). Its non yellowing but i guess it can show some tire tracking down the road.

I used a 9" roller skin from sherwin williams it was a white, 1/2 inch nap, soft woven roller skin, contractor series and didn't have any problems with it shedding. They might have 18 inch ones as well.

I did it!! It actually worked! :bounce:

It took me only 2 hours to figure out how to post these pics of my floor :lol_hitti

I used Sherwin williams macropoxy 646 thinned down 20% for a primer, and than full strength for a intermediate coat along with some flakes. I topped it with a product from sw called Rexthane ( its a one part, moisture cure, solevent based urethane). Everything I used was solvent based so it...

I just got done putting down a coat of sherwin williams macropoxy 646 which is a two componet 85% solids solvent based epoxy with flakes on top. I was told to go over it with a epoxy clear coat which is high solids solvent based epoxy, I was told the floor and the white flakes will yellow over...

jdm5lughatch- thanks for the pics! Floor looks nice! I like that orange peel look, I think i will use a 1/2 nap also. Hopefully gonna acid etch it this weekend.

I am going to acid etch my floor, after i do my final rinse how long do i have to let the floor dry out bfore i can epoxy my floor? I will be using sherwin williams macropoxy 646 which is a two part solvent based epoxy. Its been in the 60s and 70s lately if that helps. Concrete is 7 yrs old.

jdm5lughatch- did u put any flakes or sand in it? How did you prep your floor?(muratic acid or grind) Do you have any pics? I am going to be using that product in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!
