I hate coming on other boards with a silly question like this, but I've been looking around now that I'm ready to do my floor and I can't figure out what to get. I checked the thread from '06 with prices, but still could use help. Is there a mutually agreed upon "best" epoxy coating? Maybe by price? Best cheap, best overall? It's a new garage, was poured last summer. I'm just lost and am fully expecting to get people telling me it's all a matter of opinion, to do more reasearch, etc, but a starting point with a smaller amount of options would be nice. Thanks for any help.

A few questions to help get an answer.

1) How many square ft is you garage floor?
2) Do you want to do it yourself, or hire a company to do you floor?
3) How much $ do you want to spend?
4) Does you concrete have a sealer on it? To answer this quesiton, dump 1/2 cup of water on the floor, does the water bead up, or soak into the concrete?
5) Is it acceptable if the floor peels up under the tires where you normally park the car?

All the above are important questions and you'll probably get 5 different answers from 5 different people.
Bottom line is good stuff is available to the public. Best stuff is usually only available to professional contractors.

MOST importantly prep is the key. If you are a real handy type, try it yourself.
Not you, hire a professional, its what we do day in day out. Sometimes its worth the $.
