coating a floor in sections

[blackbronco]

Long time viewer of the forums, finally onto my 1st real project.

I have a 20x32 attached garage that I am planning on coating the floor. My issue is that I have 4 post lift in the back corner, it does have the optional wheels to move it, but does NOT fit out the garage door.

I am looking for input on coating the floor in 2 section. Roll the lift and tool boxes to the side coat the floor. Put everything on the coated floor and continue the process. Unfortunately I have no "natural" break in the floor, just one slab.

The product being used is HP Spartacote FLEX PURE, with quartz chips. Being that it will have the chips/flakes will i be able to blend the 2 sections fairly easy?

Taking apart the lift is really not an option at this point, as i have where to store it.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Avoid it. But if have to overlap the coats by 2".

Set up a poly wall down the middle to keep the dust contained to one side.

Just a thought..... do you have exposed joists that can handle the weight of the hoist? If so, maybe you could lift it 6 to 8 inches off the ground and suspend it from the joists.

Put an accent stripe over the "splice" to hide the seam? Add additional stripes as necessary to complete the pattern so looks intensional.

I like this.

Or do the area under the lift in a different color, like what people do with tiles.

Hi, usually chip or fleck floors can be blended pretty easily.

I did mine this way. Worked great!

I also did the same way as you did. Yes, it works great.
