In Sept. I epoxied my 750 sq. ft. garage and finished with a polyurethane top coat. Floor looks great. I parked my track car in the garage a week after installing the floor but put a square of Lexan under each tire as a precaution against marking the floor as the epoxy was only 6 days old. Last week I moved the car outside for a couple hours and then back into the garage but didn't put the Lexan under the tires. Two days later I moved the car out again and find that the tires have been imaged into the floor coating in the form of a brown stain that matches the tread pattern. I found that another set of tires (track tires) sitting under my work bench did the same thing. My cheap little Harbor Freight tire trailer did the same thing. What's up with that?!?!? Now I have a garage floor that I can't park a car on without leaving marks. Any body else had this problem with polyurethane coatings in their garage?
). I moved to a new house recently and unfortunately couldn't take the garage floor with me. I have always enjoyed the look and durability of epoxy. For the record the stains are in the polyurethane top coat and not the epoxy. This is the first time I've used polyurethane.
