Chris, thanks for posting the color samples. I don't know if its the backing material you used or what but the completed samples don't inspire me to use the product. I was looking for a smooth clear glass like finish. Like I said it may be the backing you used to put the sample on, but I don't know.

 

[SteveL]

Chris, I would agree. Your selection of backing material may not have been the best choice. What I have done is used 1/8" tempered Masonite as it is very smooth and should represent a smooth floor well. And it's cheap at $9 a 4x8 sheet.

Did you happen to use a brush instead of a roller for application? That could account for some of the "texture" in the pics.

Info about the application of the POR-15 Floor Armor color samples.

Yes The Light Gray,Tan And Beige Were Brushed on Two Coats nothing fancy no time involved and no prep work either,They are just a reference for COLOR.

The Dark Gray was applied with rollers but we did no prep work and did not remove exsisting paint from floor. We applied two coats just to paint our new shipping department floor.

The floor armor does lay on smooth and glass like just as the Regular POR-15 products lay out. please do not let the apperance of our color samples throw you as they are just a reference for COLOR.

Chris:

Thanks for posting the color samples. I want in on the group buy but what are my choices as far as paint chip colors go? It looks like I want to go with light gray for the floor color, was thinking maybe blue and white paint chips. What are the paint chip options? On a related note, is there product information on the POR-15 website about the products and colors? I made a quick look over the web site and could not locate the products.

Cheers!

If your went to the POR-15 Corp website they do not have the Floor Armor listed as of yet. They are in the process of doing a new website and it can't be found. You can check our website and we have all the information listed.. http://www.stoprust.net

OK, I want in on the group purchase, but my concern is that I have a 20x20 garage - will the 1.5 kit be enough or will I be cutting it close. I hate to go to the 2.5 kit and have alot left over. Let me know as I want to buy prior to the price going up. Thanks

There will be enough product to do 400 sqft. The first coat will act as a primer and do most absorbtion in the concrete the second coat will go alot further cause there will not ba as much absorbtion, it will go over the exsisting coat and flow alot better as well.

Chris, I also am planning on doing just half of the garage at a time as I have to move everything to one side at a time. Will that present any issue with mixing smaller amounts to do just half at a time?

I Dont see an issue with it or wouldn't expect to.....

As long as you mix small batches and try not to waste any there should be no problems.

 

[Fast Cop]

OK, should I order through you? I am ready.

You should be able to mix proportionately smaller amounts to cover any sized area. Just keep the mix ratios correct and you can mix up as little or as much as you need. Get an accurate measurment of the area to be coated. Base your mixing off the coverage rate of the product. Since it is a catalyzed product, mix less vs more. If you need more you can mix it. If you mix too much, it will harden and become unusable- reducing the coverage the product provides. Apply the entire system to the one side, let it cure completely and then move your items back on and do the other side. Just remember any wasted product reduces to coverages, and the applicating tools will absorb some product as well. Be precise with your mixing so your product cures as designed. The biggest hazard with this is not using the proper mix ratios- typically resulting in a floor that does not cure, or wasting product and running short of material.

Just my $.02


Chris- did not mean to step on your toes, just had a few minutes to kill.

Hey No problem ever piece of help i can get is appreciated to busy here at the office to play on here all day long (like i would like to )Thanks keep the info coming!!!

My builder put some cure and seal on my concrete when it was poured. Can this paint on over the sealer, or would I have to strip it first?

Thanks for posting the color samples...now I KNOW I'm buying U-Coat-It.

Just out of curiosity, what do you see in these photos that makes you reach that conclusion?

 

[V-10 Killer]

Don't mind him, he has 4 whole posts in the forum, and he's mouthed off about how epoxy floor coatings in 3 of them. Just stirring the pot...

Chris.........sample arrived todaty, thanks. Unfortunatly your grey has way too much blue in it to work with everything else that's going on. Unless you can custom mix to match a Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore color, I'm going to have to go with anther product. Thanks.
