ruberized flooring

[coolair]

Newbie here with my first question.........Just got a flier left @ the front door this week-end advertizing a "rubberized chlorinated paint" for garage/patio floors. States will protect from oil, weathering and other stains. Not cheap but not too expensive if it will last - 2 car garage listed @ 195.00.

Any input/personal experiance on this type product????

welcome aboard!

That part about garages and patios is what would worry me. Seems like two totally different environments. I want something designed for the harsh garage environment!

If it doesn't say it will hold up to hot tires rolling over it, I'm betting it won't.
However, I've got no experience with this product and would also welcome some input from someone who does! I'm still trying to make up my mind which product to go with too.

I've got to think that this price is too good to be true for a quality "garage type" prodcut.

Do you have the name of the paint or distributor? I did a search for "rubberized chlorinated paint" on the internet, but didn't come up with much ,esp as relates to garage floors...several sites indicated ~$70/gal with coverage of 200 t0 260 sq ft, but little else to convince me it's be OK for a garage floor. Most seem to be directed toward swimning pools and their deck areas.

I contacted the company and it turns out to be a pavement striping company - parking lot stripes, hiway lane divider stripes, etc - Same paint used. Claimed it will not lift if turn a hot tire but may leave a tire black mark on it. He mentioned that no prep work needed, spray or roll paint on surface and let dry - real simple.

He his to get back with me to scedual a time to check out some of the projects the company has done in customers garages.

I guess it may be slippery when wet but most surfaces are. Will go check it out and report back.

Thanks for the update. I look forward to their response re garage use. Wonder if you could mix sand with it like done on boat deck surfaces???

I hate to say it but it sounds very inexpensive.
I guess if they stand behind it and will replace if it fails (in writing) go for it.
Let us see the final look and your input.
Thanks for the info.

I've never seen that type of product advertised for garage use. But then, if it holds up on roads to millions of cars, and all types of weather and chemicals, maybe it would work. Interesting. I look forward to hearing more about it when you get more information.

Does the floor have to be yellow like the stripes?

You're BAD!!
With my limited budget, I'd be happy just to have clean cement vs. the big bucks some want for doing my 840 sq ft of garage floor. Maybe some day I'll get ambitious and paint it myself if I decide to do it correctly whatever that means.

Well I finally went to see a garage floor with the rubberized floor - looked nice when new, but tires leave a black mark when driving on so the guy had a nice gray floor with 4 black stripes where he pulled his car and truck in and out of the garage.....not too cool. So the search continues..................

That's too bad.

Just out of curiosity, how did the owner feel about those black stripes? Had he expected this? Was it explained to him prior to purchase? Or was it a "surprise"?
