New 3 Car Garage

[jeepgod]

ok.. we just purchased this home and it's got a nice 3 car garage that I will be using for my work space.

First thing I had to do was clean it, this was a short sale purchase so it was nasty. A few trips to the dump and then 4 gallons of Acid and the floors were pretty clean.

Then I ordered some Epoxy Coat from Christine, aka "Rugerlady" on here. Got 1.5 kits in biege. I was pretty nervous since this is the first time doing something like this, but it was pretty straight forward instructions and went on really easy.

I just started putting things in the garage after 3 days of drying. I really like the finished product, by far the nicest floor I have had.

Looks great.... roughly how many sq ft is your garage? We just bought an REO in Laquinta/Indio Indian Springs Country club. Presently looking at options on what to do with the garage floor prior to moving anything in.

Jeepgod, the floor looks great! Kudos to a job well done!

That turned out really nice!

the garage is 678 sq ft... right now everything is just thrown in there.. but since I just retired.. give me a few days and she'll be squared away enough to post more pictures..

knowing what i know now, i would have got two full kits and layed it on thicker.. but i love how it came out. It even makes the garage smell clean.. atleast for now.. lol

Thanks Christine, I love the product, a few of my friends have the rustoleum floor coating in theres, and this is waaaaaay better... much cleaner look and just by looking at it you can tell it's thicker...

i plan on building a shop in a few years and will be using this again!

How many gallons of mixed product did you end up using ( not sure how much is 1-1/2 kits) ?

Did you use the kit with the clear coat? Floor looks great BTW.

Looks great! Good job!

I too just did a 3 car garage though I did paint the walls first knowing I would be grinding the floors. Adding vinyl baseboard added a nice touch too.

I used every bit of the 1.5 kits, not sure how many gallons it was.

No clear coat on this. It's still pretty shiney.

This is coming along, I got the walls painted this Sunday and I am starting to put things away.

1 kit is 3 gallons, 1/2 kit is 1.5 gallons.
