started my Epoxy-Coat install today

the weather this week finally cooperated with no rain & decent temps, so i started the Epoxy-Coat install today. everything went well except for one small area that fish-eyed where something was deep in the slab & wouldn't clean up. not sure what it was as the floor was previously coated with u-coat-it, but no telling with the fire what may have occurred with that spot. the flakes tend to hide the spot pretty well & i'm pleased with the product. the floor looks great for a cracked up, beat to death 14 yr old slab that has been thru a fire (& very nearly a tornado last thurs. had one hit about a block over...) i'll start the clearcoat tomorrow...

email me a pic of where the floor fisheyed, maybe you can touch that area up. Floor looks great, good job!

does the clearcoat have to be backrolled twice like the color coat or is once enough? didn't know if that was just a proceedure for wetting the surface for the chips on the color coat or if it also needs to be done with the clear.

 

[rugerlady]

The clear coat is applied the exact same way as the color coat.

Nice job! I'd also like to hear more about your TR4A with a V8 ... I'm restoring my '66 4A from high school.

been waiting for a good sunny day to get some pics of the finished floor with the clearcoat added, but been cloudy for days.. i did get a couple pics tonight of my new tool cabinet & cart that shows the reflection. my dad told me today he keeps thinking something is leaking & theres water on the floor, but its just the glossy appearance

thanks! i'll get some info up on the triumph as soon as i get some spare time. it was going to be a winter project, but the fire has delayed that for a while...

Is it as slippery as it looks?

 

[sellersrodshop]

doesn't seem to be. i've been on it a few times with wet shoes & haven't slipped any.

 

[kywildcat]

Did you use any anti slip material in the clear coat?? The floor looks great!!!!

 

[Indy78]

Good job. Looks awesome.

Looking at the roofline and rear fenders I would say 36 or later.


Sellers the shop is looking great nice recovery .

What did you use to fill the cracks? Looks great BTW!

 

[corrado89]

Great post and awesome job on the floor. Are those standard for fine flakes?

 

[38chevy]

Wow!! You have done a lot of work. Looks like the fire did a lot of damage. The floor looks great.

 

[sellersrodshop]

thanks guys! the chips are the standard version that come in the kit. they supplied plenty for my taste as i only used about 2 of the three bags supplied (3 kits). the cracks were filled with sikaflex self levelling sealer then sanded smooth using a belt sander with 120 grit belts. everyone that has seen it in person has been really impressed. the guy at the rental place where i rented the diamond grinder is going to do the floors in a bar/grille he's part owner of in Epoxy-coat after hearing how well it turned out. should be pretty cool as its located in an old 60's gas station.

Amazing!! I'm about to do the same with my 2 1/2 er. As soon as the drywall people are done, I can start the painting and then the floor. Can't wait!
