legacy industrial floor (camel)

[nicxt44191]

I've lurking for awhile (mainly the vintage tools section) but never posted, until a few days ago. We recently moved and closed on a new build house and I turned here to look for a good epoxy product. In my last house, also a new build, I just ran out to Lowe's and put down some rustoleum epoxy. In the five years I lived there it held up very well in the main garage (very little hit tire lift) and held up well in the detached third car garage where I worked on my ih scout. Even though I had a good experience with the rustoleum I put in my garage and again in my brothers I decided to bite the bullet and apply a better product. After hours of research I decided to purchase the legacy industrial kit in camel.

I prepped the floor with a diamabrush rented from home depot, laid the primer down yesterday and epoxy down today. The stuff went on pretty easy. I was a little nervous about the pot life but it wasn't an issue since my father in law helped out. In all my research I never saw a floor in camel from legacy, So I figured I'd post some pictures. I am very happy with how it turned out. I am going to be building a 30x30 shop soon and we definitely be using legacy again.

The first two are after the primer, The second two after epoxy. I'm not sure why the pictures are sideways. Sorry.

Looks very nice. I hope my project turns out as nice! How close does the diamabrush when grinding near the walls? Did you have to use a 4 1/2" or 7" grinder with a diamabrush to get the edges of the walls? I am about to start my project in the next few weeks. Waiting to close on the house and will probably go with armor proxy or legacy products.

Also, which diamabrush did you go with? I think HD carries 2 different types

It will get you within two to three inches of the wall, a couple more away in the corners. The machine I had, had a soft bumper like material around it so I got as close as physically possible. You can use the angle grinder attachment to get the edges and corners. Just a heads up, if you've never used a machine like that be prepared. I hadn't and it took me for a ride the first time. Keeping it level or balanced is the key. You will want to use the concrete prep tool (the one with more blades) as opposed to the coating removal. If you go on YouTube home depot has employee training videos posted about each one. I may be worth style to check out. If your on the fence, I wouldn't hesitate to use legacy. Scotty was pretty helpful and quick with the technical questions. Everything was pure measures abd simple. I can do a more extensive write up if your interested.
