Started garage floor project several weeks ago. Floor was in rough shape, a lot of grease/rust stains. Started with degreaser, scrubbed and rinsed 3/4 times.
Rented diamabrush from home depot and grinded the floor...took about 4-5 hours for a 528 sq foot garage. Park my cars in the two bay garage. After diamabrush, I acid etched the sides/around poles the brush could not get to. Then rinsed thoroughly another 3/4 times. Used leaf blower to get out any remaining dust, etc..
Purchased Nohr-S garage kit from Legacy. The kit arrived within a week and just finished this past weekend. It's three coats - primer, Nohr-S tinted (gray) and a final coat of Nohr-S clear.
The primer adhered well. The second coat was going on very well, until the 18" roller tool broke about a quarter of the way through (wish they provided better quality tools). Fortunately, I had a 9" roller and used it to complete the project, though it took my twice as long.
I'm very happy with the end result, though I do see some flashing on the sealer coat, probably due to the 9"roller. Other lessons learned was I only had about 45 minutes to complete the primer coat - I found towards the end the coating was binding up a bit and not covering the floor completely. Fortunately, the second coat covered all "holidays".
The kit provided 4 lbs of flakes, but I only used a bit less than 1 pound. I wanted a light flake and it came out great. Before/after pics attached.
Before/after pics attached. The after pics were taken at night and then in the AM.....which is why the color is brighter.
All things considered, I am very happy with the Nohr-S and believe it came out great. The only issue was the "flashing" of the sealer coat, but hope it goes away with time. I expect Nohr-S to last several years and will chime in again to see how it withstands car traffic, harsh winters, etc.
