Fellow Garage Junkies - I'm having a new garage floor poured this weekend and know that I want to put down a nice, bright, smooth coating after it cures. I've been super-pleased with professional epoxy coatings in prior garages but am trying to stay on a budget for this new garage (especially after having to pay for the new concrete and soon, having to pay for a new garage door). Based on this, I was going to use Griot's Garage Floor Paint (tan in color). The challenge is that they don't offer it anymore.

Could this bright group share an alternative that is just as tough? Or perhaps, could someone share the manufacturer that actually produced the Griot's paint?

Thank you for your assistance.

As far as I know, the Griot's Garage floor paint was just your basic water-based epoxy coating. Their data sheet is still available here: https://www.griotsgarage.com/text/pdf/90011_90013.pdf

Both Garage Flooring LLC and ArmorPoxy have a water-based epoxy coating that is available that would be compatible in terms of quality - maybe just a bit better.

I have a 13 yrs old garage that I am planning to finish the floor this summer. I was thinking of installing tiles, but, I am now leaning towards epoxy. I do plan to clean the floor with degreaser before applying the epoxy.

At the moment, I am also thinking of painting the floor with two color pattern. Nothing fancy, just a one main color (say, RED) in box and then a border color (grey) around that. Garage is about 670 sqft and I live in the Denver suburbs.

I looked at both Armorpoxy and Hellfire sites and I am not sure which product to select.

Any recommendations?
