Topcoating an existing epoxy floor.

[toreadorxlt]

3 years ago I did a high solids epoxy floor in my newly built shop. I do car fabrication as a hobby in my garage, with lots of aluminum shaping/finishing. The carbon from the aluminum gets into my epoxy floor and is a nightmare to cleanup. I maintain it in all the wrong ways likely (autoscrubber with degreaser over comet sprinkled on the floor) The floor has held up great but has lost significant gloss likely due to my cleaning/constant work in the shop. I can still get it squeaky clean though.

Was wondering if there was some sort of topcoat I can put on that will restore gloss, and make the carbon dust easier to clean, and hold up to my abusive ways of cleaning while maintaining gloss? I miss the shine... and I would like to cut cleanup time down. Would a polyaspartic top coat be recommended?
The plan would be to move equipment around and do the shop in 1/3's.

Please see pictures for floors in a clean but deglossed state; and a destroyed state during heavy construction. Lots of time goes into getting it back to clean, even with an autoscrubber.

You will want to clean it, lightly sand, solvent wipe and go over with a product like our AWF Polyurea. I would suggest a spread rate of 200 Sq. Ft. per gallon

Hi, we have a variety of topcoats you can add. The easiest and economical solution would be a coat of Coval Topcoat which just sprays on with an acetone-rated garden sprayer, and the Coval will be more resistant than even urethanes or polyaspartics.
