This is what I was looking for-I've got to keep this in mind for spring. Have to do a bit of repair beforehand.

Hey Scotty,
Can the Hellfire be tinted a bit darker than the light gray? And if so, what would one use to do it?
I'm looking at doing a garage floor about 1900 sq ft with a lighter gray interior. The floor will have to be darker.
Thanks.

How does the Hellfire coating hold up to having jack stands and heavy jacks being dragged across the floor?

Correct. You would have to call your uncle in Az or Nv. Have him deliver direct to you.

Why not? State regulations? Really disappointed. Was planning on doing my garage as well as my brother's and father's with hellfire.

Not soon, the metallic additive used is overwhelming and only available in gray at this point.
If you want tan, look to our Nohr-S product, available in tan and other colors.

Visuals or looks aside, how would it compare in longevity to a quality flaked epoxy floor?
I too will be using a jack and stand around the floor more than most.

HellFire is thin but powerful. A quality flake floor will have mils thickness on its side, which in the long-haul is a nice advantage.
Everything is relative to how you care for it and how well you prepared and installed the product.

My garage floor is saw-cut, not troweled - would I have any problems using a sealer like this, or any other epoxy type coating? My fear is that I seal in the cuts... not sure if I should even fear that or not.

Sawcuts can be left as is, pre-filled or post-filled.
The choice is yours.
If you have fears regarding pre-filling, then post-fill or leave-alone and you will not have any issue.

Most of the users that we have had contact with have used the acid-etch method. Grinding is great but might eat up an extra coat due to porosity.
Repairs can be made using our Xtreme Set 100 product.

what chemicals can hurt this coating? brake fluid? paint clean up with acetone? is the abrasion resistance similar to epoxy?
LegacyIndustrial

Good luck finding a chemical that will hurt it. Seriously, very very chem resistant.
Abrasion resistance is superior to Epoxy.

How about for welding spatter similar to epoxy?

Sounds good, I'll be installing this spring.

It can withstand far greater heat but will likely still mar from splatter.
Weld high or use a blanket. I weld in my driveway, I have paranoia over the house burning down while I sleep from a slow burning ember.

Video link below...HellFire vs. Metallic Epoxy, 60 seconds with a Bic BBQ lighter approx 1/4” away, flame licking the surface. No effect on the HellFire!!

You can ship free to the border, than pickup or use a courier service.

I'm a real estate appraiser by trade. And a while back I appraised a pretty nice waterfront home that actually had a couple of bedrooms done in this stuff. They had two different color ways even, like Rum and Whale (Metallic Epoxy Garage Kit) IIRC? I know this may sound kind of crazy, however, it actually looked great on the floors!
My question is this. I have a 1,200 sq. ft. workshop and my concern is how would this hold up to hot tires coming in and out? I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to installing some tire trays, or what have you if need be. Just as long as I can get a floor that looks like this stuff does whenever it is down!
Thanks!

Seedling, hot-tire pick-up , largely, is failure to prep correctly.
As long as you create a nice clean, porous surface, HellFire will do the rest.
Acid etching is an acceptable prep process, link for etch directions:

Question:
Since my garage is a couple years old and already full of stuff, can you move everything to one side, prep and put the hellfire down, let dry, move everything to that side and do the other side, or will there be a noticeable difference or “line” between the two??
I’m stuck with either that or pulling everything away from walls and doing about 3’ away from walls all the way around, then putting everything back and doing the rest.
Also, I do t have any relief cuts (even though I should) to start/stop at.
Thanks

Thanks. I may just wait for nicer weather and pull everything out and tackle it on one of my weeks off.

My garage floor is smooth and 7 years old, I did the water test and water puddles on the concrete so I'm guessing a sealer was put down at some point. Do I just acid etch over this or do I need to grind/sand the floor?

Try acid etch, if it bubbles than it will work, if not a grind may be needed.
