What is the advantage of buying EC at Lowe's instead of directly through EC, other than shipping? Is it cheaper? Does anyone know the current Lowe's pricing? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. How many sq. ft. does $169.95 get you?

Thanks Christine, so that would be equivalent to the following product, right?

If so, could you kindly confirm if the following Lowe's store has it available, please?

Thanks a lot for your speedy responses, Christine! I've sent you a PM about some other questions I had before buying.
If you did not use non-skid, it will be slippery when wet!
PM me, I have no idea what state you are in. I really do not look it up by zip code. Are you in California? If so, I have a recent post of the California stores.

Didn't open my kit yet, but does it have non-skid in it? If not what do you recommend?

How much more difficult is it to clean the floor with non-skid additive? That's my only hesitation about using it...
It will make it a bit more difficult to clean, we do have different grit sizes, let me know if you want something finer.
Nothing right now, you can place a special order, call me and I can help you with this.

I picked up a kit at Lowe's in San Diego today - it was $169 ($153 with a 10% coupon). They had more in stock.

Hi there, it's hard to find info on the Lowe's web site ... do they carry the 1/2 kit with the clear coat ?
Thanks !

They only had full kits at my Lowe's, but you might be able to special order a 1/2 kit through Lowe's?

The thing is that i'm from Montréal and we don't have lowe's. From the list provided it seems that Platsburg NY would be the closest for me. Just waiting a response from EPOXY COAT if they would ship to Canada or maybe they have a different distributor here ....
I just had my local Lowe's special order 1 full kit of gray Epoxy-Coat for me. It was relatively painless as I brought the number in and the salesman got Christine on the phone. She walked him through the order process on Lowe's computer system. With one kit ordered, the salesman said Lowe's pays $152. He marked it up 10% to $167 and sold it to me for that. No shipping and no charge for special order. Three days later, it was delivered to the store.
This is the fourth garage floor I have done. I've used the Rustoleum Epoxy-shield and U-coat it. The Epoxy-coat install was the smoothest of all that I've tried and the results look great. The prep takes the longest if you have any oil stains at all. Application of the coating goes very quickly with pouring it out of the bucket along the wall and dragging it with a squeegee to cover the floor, then backrolling to even it all out. I did purchase a large floor squeegee from Lowe's that is twice the width of the one included in the kit. It was down 30 minutes after opening the buckets. I just used the one full kit to cover a 20 x 20 garage. Color chipping with the flakes takes some practice to get even coverage. Spike shoes and throwing small amounts at the ceiling definitely help.
Looks great. Hopefully it holds up.

Thanks for the information Christine. I purchased 2 full kits from Lowe's this Saturday for my 3 car garage. My only dilemma now is with purchasing more chips, and if I should clear on top.
The Lowe's employee told me that the Rustoleum brand clear would work great and that Rustoleum even owns Epoxy-coat. Can you confirm Christine? The EpoxyShield is available locally. Will that be just as good as the Epoxy-Coat clear? I debating on just using the base coatings and then see how I like the results before adding the clear.
Thanks for your help everyone!

We already have Lowes in Canada. Just not everywhere. I know there are locations in Ontario and there are locations here in Calgary as well.
Rustoleum ABSOLUTELY does NOT own Epoxy-Coat.
Please tell me which store you were at so I can enlighten them. EC clear is a much better product than the Rustoleum "stuff". If you want to send me the store location in a PM that would be fine too.fjr04

Yes I know, there is one 5 minutes from my house. I wanted to know if Epoxy Coat is going to show up at Lowes in Canada.

Christine,
Does the store in Rapid City SD, 57701 carry these kits and if not are you guys in the works to get kits there?

Sorry Jim, I missed the context there. You're right. I read it as when are we going to get Lowes in Canada, not when are we going to get IT IN Lowes in Canada.

How many extra bags of flakes would people recommend for a 450 sq. ft. garage painted with a full kit? i.e. in addition to the one included. Thanks.
It would depend on what kind of density you are looking for.
If you want medium i would get an extra 3 lb, If you want heavy density you would need about 11 lbs of flake.
