* Top Coat Question - Rock Solid Cherry Bomb Metallic Garage Flooring *

[ericboston]

Hello everyone and thank you for having this forum! Such a wealth of information. I have a beautiful Rustoleum Rock Solid Cherry Bomb garage floor but even after applying a few coats of the Rock Solid Top Coat, it still scratches VERY easily. Everything from someone shuffling with sandals on to me gently dragging in the garden hose. Hot tire pickup is also a HUGE issue. The floor is so delicate we barely use the garage. We don't use it for anything other than parking our cars in it. After researching around online, it seems that I need to sand down the gloss with a 100 grit paper and then apply an Aliphatic Polyurethane Gloss for best scratch protection? Should I get a two part process or a one part? A few options I researched are below. Does anyone know what product would be best for my particular floor?

1) Legacy Industrial: HD322 high performance urethane (2 part process)
2) GarageFlooringLLC: TL321 Top Coat (1 part process?)
3) I also saw Benjamin Moore has a Corotech v515 product?
4) Rust Bullet Clear Shot

*I thank you in advance!

All of these are solvent based clears and will adhere to normal epoxy coatings. Some higher solids, some single or two component.

Your issue is that existing coating, not what you will place on top of it.

As we discussed, you need to do a test area before you build upon a weak base coat and throw your money away.

Thank you for your assistance. Are there spec sheets I should be looking at to compare products and are there any others that I did not list that I should look into? My research brought me to this point... how would I make the best sound decision on what product to use? I thank you in advance.
