Epoxy flooring

[disappointingpanda]

Hey everyone! Came here from reddit as it was suggested THIS is the place!

I'm in southern wisconsin, a lot of cold, snow, ice and salt. I recently bought a house and after this winter it was made apparent I need to do something with the flooring it's just bare concrete now. It is in really good condition though besides needing to be cleaned from this winter.

I did a google search on the rustoleium rock solid and saw it was a ok product.

I'm looking at around $400-600 for the garage, it's 21x21 so 441ish sq ft.

I like the epoxy look. I don't mind grinding down the garage floor if need be (I've never done it but a quick learner). I looked at doing a mat type system, I saw racedeck was suggested thats way out of my price budget.I saw some people mention costco has something similar is it as good/worth it?

Plan to live here for years to come. So I'd rather buy once cry once. I also don't want to have to redo it in a few years.

My garage is also slightly sloped towards my house for some reason. I saw most have self leveling in them.

My only plus so to say for epoxy is clear coat it then I can easily push water out of the garage outside once it drips off, not sure if I can do that with a mat.

I tried to give as much info as I could to help with ideas/suggestions.

Thanks!

Edit to add, I saw rust bullet is fairly popular? How is that? I watched some videos on rust bullet it looks cool. I like the flakes in epoxy (which apparently you can do on rust bullet). I would just have to put a clear coat over the rust bullet for the flakes.

Hi, if you are looking for the flake look, we would recommend our 3-layer 100% solids Armorclad epoxy kits with military grade topcoat option. See www.armorcladepoxy.com.

Another lower cost alternative is our SPGX one part polyurea. Normally not used with flecks, but can be. Both can be applied with just prep by etching.
