So after a few hours of applying the second coat and flakes, I only noticed 3 bubbles which I popped in time this time.

I'm very satisfied with the results, I was expecting a darker shade of grey (dark grey base coat), but I love the color. With all that prep I still had a few imperfections after the first coat, I'm glad I had a second coat. I did end up using all the sand and flakes provided, intended for 500 sq. ft. and I only have 228 sq. ft., but epoxy coated garages are very slippery during the winter months.

Also, anyone thinking that spiked shoes are optinal... think again, there a must!

Thanks again Christine for answering all my questions :)

pics were taken with my cell phone, which explains the low quality...

Thanks Epoxy-Coat!!!!!!!

Almost a shame to cover up, but it's good to have the car, tools, cabinets, etc. back in the garage :beer:

That is the dark gray? Not light or standard gray?

What's with the bubbles? Glad the second coat fixed it but if I do this I would not like to spend money for an extra coat.

Looks good.

It looks like I will be buying this kit. I have a few questions though. So is a second coat really needed? I am going to do tile red with the beige mix. My house is less tha na year old and the only traffic in my garage is my dogs.

A single coat was all I needed. There's no water or solvents to evaporate so
"what you see is what you get" with this stuff. My experience: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78454

Good luck!
