Am in process of finishing 1/2 of garage at a time (2.5 car garage) with epoxy then clear coat but still fearful of hot tire pickup. I was thinking of maybe using a mat for under each tire (2 long mats instead of 1 large mat).

I saw Auto Care Products Inc 70099 20-Feet by 23-Inch Heavy Duty 50-mil Vinyl Protector Strips and thought that may be ok.
Figure it would protect from hit tire pickup.... or would it?
I don't suspect the mats themselves would affect the paint?

Thoughts.... opinions on this or others or type of material?

Thx

If the prep was OK and the epoxy hardens it will not lift with the tires. Use cardboard at first for a week or so because it will not stick to the epoxy like rubber or vinyl while the epoxy is curing.
