DIY Epoxy floor recommendations

[matt74]

I need help with a epoxy floor. Concrete is being poured tomorrow with a slick finish and no sealer. I want to epoxy the floor myself. Any recommendation on which epoxy kit?

I did Legacy Nohr-S myself, well my wife I did it.

We only did partial flake, but looks like they only offer full flake kits now.

2 solid days of work between grinding and putting down the primer coat and then coming back the next day to put down the color, flake and clear. 4 years later its still in great shape.

To begin with, your new slab will need to cure for a minimum of 29 days before any coating.

I’ve used Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield for a few DIY epoxy projects, and it’s been a solid choice. It’s easy to apply, gives a smooth, durable finish, and has held up well in high-traffic areas like my garage. One thing I’d recommend is prepping the surface properly—etch the concrete to ensure good adhesion, and apply in the right temperature (50°F to 90°F) for best results. The kit includes everything you need, and the results have always been professional-looking. Definitely worth considering if you're tackling the project yourself!

I used Armorpoxy. Screwed up the flake (me being a dingus) but it all came out very well and I'm much happier with a single colour. It seems pretty robust, though it doesn't like heavy pointy things or weld splatter being dropped on it.

Both are epoxy based, which is better then a poly base IMO.

I used armorpoxy. Much better than the big box store rustoleum stuff.

Another vote for armorpoxy. I'm coming up on a year with my full flake floor and it's been bulletproof.
