Need advise on removing painted flooring

[BWdiver]

Hello all, this is my first post and I'm really glad to have found this site.

I just had built a 30x40 garage it has 2x6 studded wall's 11' tall, 2x4 trusses, and metal siding and roof.

the concrete was never sealed and sat for 6 months before building started, I went down to my local Sherwins Williams paint store and bought some flooring paint, (I know you guy's are starting to cringe right about now) went back to the garage and swept it out...thats right, thats all I did, and then I proceeded to roll on this new paint.

The end result: I only did 3 of the 4 15x20 areas, Thank God!!!... anyway when I pull a mower out from its spot! a paint patch will go with the tire, same with the Harley and fourwheeler and anything else that touches it.

Well now you have a picture of how easy it comes up, so without riding the mower thru out every square inch of my garage what would be an effective way of proceeded here to remove this paint (non epoxy, I'm sure you know that by now) LOL. Some areas it seems to be adhearing better that most places.

Thanks for any advise.

Maybe see how easily a pressure washer will remove the paint. If it's not cured real well maybe that will do the trick.

You know that might get most of it. be messy. if it comes to that what would be a good prep after that, drying time and etc.

The best, fastest, easiest and most effective would be to have someone shot blast it. If that not an option maybe try a small area and see if muriatic acid will remove what is left. That's just an idea, don't know if it's a good one or not.

Maybe this? Today is the fifth day of cleaning the garage in a home I just purchased, and it worked extremely well on removing unknown paints throughout the garage.

How much is that stripper ($) for how much (gallons)?

 

[flyersfanjd]

It was right around $30/gallon at Home Depot.

Having just tried powerwashing to get off the paint, I can tell you that it flies everywhere-- the walls, and on anything you have in the garage. If yougo this route, protect everything first!!!

For 1,200 sq ft floor... what would it cost to do the Wolverine coating in plain grey no flakes?

Oh!! by the way the stuff I used before was Armorseal in the grey and blue can, It was a water base product and it was around 33.00 dollors a gallon.

I'm sure I messed it up by not prepping correctly.
