So, 7 years, 1 kid, and 1 project car paint job ago, I put down the cheapie Rustoleum/Quikrete epoxy on my attached garage. Since then, it has held up well, for the most part, other than the four spots where her tires sit. They didn't peel, or anything, I think they finally just gave up, and wore thin. No flaking, etc. I also performed all my bodywork/sanding/paint on my 68 Cougar in that garage, on that floor.
Fast forward to two years ago, and the wife was tired of "rehabbed" parts scattered throughout the house, and said build a shop. So, I did. After browsing here, I decided on the Performance Epoxy for the shop. Great product.
Two years later(present day), she's ready for "her" garage to look "pretty and clean like your shop".....Ok....didn't know it was pretty, per se, and it sure isn't always clean....but ok.....
So, long story longer, today we started "her" floor.......
Before:
As you can see, it's rough, with all the different paints on it!
, so I was messy, I didn't pay someone 10k for my paint job on the car!!!! LOL.
Picked up a grinder today to get rid of all that ****! Started around 2:30, finished shortly before 7.....that grinder was THE BOMB!!! I had watched a neighbor use a hand grinder to remove a failing floor, and he was on his knees for 2 or 3 days....NO THANKS!
After:
Still drying in the pics, and what a mess it makes, the slurry of old epoxy, and profile detritis! But man, did it work fast. 750 sq ft 3 car done in an afternoon.....I was happy!
Next up, the epoxy! Picked up the Epoxy Coat taupe kits at my local Lowes, but will be using Original Color Chips "Hockeytown" blend....red/black/white.
Will update as it goes!
