Im looking at Armor Poxy for a shop thats the same size. Either that or I may do one of those raised floors. Have you looked into one of those with the snap together shop tiles?

I have not. I like the look of epoxy and think I'm going to go that direction. just not willing to pay 3k for someone to do it, which is about what it cost around here. but also don't want to do rustoleum kit only to have it peel up in a year

Did the Rustoleum latex G floor paint on our 15 yr old badly stained 3 car back in 2014. Still looks pretty good today with maybe 5% 'peel up' and hot tire lift. Keep in mind that proper prep work makes or breaks any G floor coating (and yes, I'm sure you know that). Good luck! And let us know what you do and use.

I did Armorpoxy 3-4 years ago. My garage doesn't see a lot of vehicular traffic.
It's done well. I'm happy with the product and the support from the company.

I did my 28x32 using armorpoxy and it is fantastic. Definitely cost less than a thousand.

For a light to medium distribution of flakes check out our 3 Component System, for a full broadcast system you'll want to look at our Chip Floor system. Unfortunately, COVID has hammered decoflake supply but if you don't see a blend that you like just contact me directly and I'll see what we can do.

do you have pictures by chance? I'm not opposed to trying rustoleum epoxy shield. I suppose if it does peel in spots you could just touch up. can you use decorative chips with the product you used?

Let me give you some more info on the armorpoxy...first I cleaned floor fanatically. I believe I used a product from them for cleaning also. I pressure washed numerous times. I waitied about 2 weeks for the floor to completely dry. Then I applied a 2 part epoxy primer. The next day I applied the 2 part epoxy color coat and threw chips onto it. The next day I applied a 2 part epoxy military clear coat. This has held up extremely well. I did all the 4 years ago. Also, in the clear coat, I added their anti slip product - it's powder like but is very effective. a couple pix attached.
