Behr 2 part epoxy

[Falcon67]

I noticed this brand of paint - Behr 2 part - at HD recently. $75/kit, kit covers 200~250 sq/ft. Anybody use this? Looks like a decent paint if applied properly.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this too. I saw it at HD too

It says it's a water-based epoxy...everything I've read says 100% solids epoxy is better than water or solvent based epoxies. Just my input, I'm no expert.

That was the only point that bothered me too. I wish I knew the brand and composition of the epoxy 2 part stuff that's on my current floor. It's been excellent. It was about $70 for and that was in 1997.

I used this and I'm very happy with it, kit includes clear glaze:

I used this exact product from HD. I am very happy, heavy, abusive use. no problems at all. MOST IMPRESSED with Behr support. I messed up a bit on installation, they bailed me out with material and $$.
My abuse has ranged from physical - scraping metal wheel floor jacks and sliding stuff.
Also, chemical - gas oil grease, contact cleaner, all clean up wonderfully.

Good to know. I just spotted it at HD today, and was going to see if anyone has used it

I've read the same on multiple occasions. No expert here either though. By the time you spend money on 3 kits you could of just bought the epoxy-coat kit. Plus there kit comes with basically everything needed to apply it.

I was going to post an update post, but this post will do. Layed 2 kits of the Behr 2 part one year ago.

Abuse:
I've spilled oil, brake fluid and coolant on it (i'm messy)
Dragged metal wheeled jack accross it
Spilled hot snowboard wax

All of it cleaned right up with minimal staining

Care:
Sweeping debris as it occurs
Cleaning with a mild degreaser

This is the only spot where i had pick-up. It happened the week after it was painted on and has not become any worse. I'm sure it was my fault.

Guys. No offense, but the pictures I see are not representative of a quality flooring system. I would call Christine at Epoxy-Coat for a project like that. I'd bet my lunch her products would look much better after a year of use.

You get what you pay for.

The Teg doesn't look bad either and the floor looks pretty good IMO

I know, late on the draw.

Not offended. I think we all understand that there are better flooring options out there, but many of us don't have (or are Cannot justify) dropping the kind of coin necessary to buy in. I've got other places to put my money. Also, my other garage has a "quality flooring system", and even though it is more reflective it still has stains and scars just like the Behr. I've busted a lot of knuckle in this garage hence the condition. If all i did was park my cars on it, i'm sure it would look better. For less than 2 bills, you can't beat it.

Thanks for the kind comments. The bike gets tracked regularly. The Integra was my first car, my baby.
