Rust Bullet Customers - Durability?

[mopar440_6]

Well guys, I'm at the point of needing to make a decision about flooring for my 50'x60' garage build. The original plan was standard 100% solids industrial epoxy but I'm not sure the weather is going to be conducive to curing epoxy once the slab is fully cured. Also, I'm not sure the epoxy would hold up to what we're going to be doing on it (automotive repair and fabrication i.e.- rolling floor jacks, jack stands, engine hoists, grinding and welding) and if it doesn't its a pain to repair.

Enter Rust Bullet. I've been talking to Justin about this stuff (who, BTW, has been MORE than his fair share of helpful). It seems to check most or all of the boxes for what we're looking for. Can be installed below 50*F, easy to repair, retains safe traction level when wet, will put up with almost all of the chemicals we're going to spill on it, and we can afford it. The current plan would be installed as follows:

1 coat - TL37 Densifier
2-3 coats - Standard Gray Rust Bullet
1 coat - Clear Rust Bullet with 1# antiskid per gallon

My only remaining concern is long(er) term durability. I've looked at tons of before and after pictures from installs but haven't seen any "this is how it looks after 6 months of use" photos. I know RB is a relatively new product compared to epoxy but if anyone can provide some input on how well its holding up for them in a working (not just parking on it) environment, I would appreciate it.

He has had the product in his garage for a couple of years with no issues. Also check out some of the commercial and industrial jobs we have out there on our page. This product has been subjected to years of abuse as a concrete coating, including exterior applications with running water, warehouses with forklifts, etc.

I just finished my RB install (2 coats gray, flakes, 2 coats clear). Sorry, no pics yet. Based on how my floor looked after 2 coats of RB gray, if I was not going to flake, I would just put down 3 or 4 coats without any clear and call it done. The gray is shiny enough on its own and if you had issues down the road and needed to make repairs to an area, you could just scuff the surface, put down more gray and be back in business.

You did a VERY NICE job and I really appreciate the feedback on the new rollers!
