Rust bullet floor prep advice!!!

[Buddha416]

Please find the pics of my garage floor. It is not very smooth. Has some stains and cracks. I believe I need to do acid etch. Any other recommendations for floor prep? I have a 600 Sq ft garage. My plan is to lay down 2 coats of rust bullet concrete base (3 gallons) followed by 10 lbs flakes and 2 coats of clear (3 gallons). Appreciate all your replies.

You will need to patch those cracks for sure. Have you cleaned the surface yet?

No not yet. Wanted to get the complete set of instructions before starting. Do I have to use a concrete filler to clear those cracks? What about acid etching? Do I do that before filling in the cracks?

So a couple of things here. Acid etching and cleaning your floor are two different things. Acid creates a profile. If you concrete is not power real smooth, you may not need to etch it. You should call me.

Cracks should be filled using an epoxy based crack filler.

If you do acid etch you will have to do three coats.

Rust Bullet is not near as good as epoxy at hiding (forgive my wording) imperfect crack repair. So whatever the texture of your floor prior to applying The Rust Bullet, its going to show through some. 100% solids epoxy is more forgiving in that regard.
