Epoxy Floor Kit – Good Half Kit – Clear Coating with High Gloss Finish – Covers 250 sq. ft. at 9.7 mils Thickness – Ideal for Garage, Basement, Concrete Floors, and More

This is the second time I’ve used Epoxy-Coat for a garage floor coating. The first time was my own garage, and this time was for my neighbor. For someone with little to no experience, it was pretty easy to apply to a two car garage. My only advice is to do some research on how to apply it. First off, I absolutely could not do it on my own. The exothermic reaction that occurs when you mix the two-part epoxy happens fairly quick, so we needed one person to pour and spread while the other rolled it out with the paint roller. By the time we were at the end of the project the epoxy was thick and more difficult to spread, so speed is important. Other than that, make sure to use the acid solution the day before to clean the surface. I found a leaf blower very useful to dry the concrete surface after rinsing. The floor was completely dry the next day. My only complaint (not enough to remove any stars) is that the squeegee included in the kit is really small. I ended up getting a 24-inch heavy duty squeegee with a broom handle, which worked really well to spread the epoxy. Also, you might want to invest in the spiked shoes. If you accidentally (or intentionally) walk through the wet epoxy your shoes/shoe covers will stick and mess up the coating.Overall though, I definitely give this product 5 stars. It’s MUCH cheaper than getting the garage floor professionally done. As long as you don’t mind some minor DIY flaws (some bubbles, missed spots, etc.) this will probably save you at least a couple thousand dollars over hiring a contractor.

The media could not be loaded. This epoxy coat floor kit is awesome. I’m in love with my garage floor and couldn’t be happier with the results. I ended up adding a clear coat on top of the dart grey to give it a nice shiny and protective finish. 100 percent solids epoxy you can’t beat it. Looks amazing. Be sure to do your prep work! And when it comes to mixing my buddy and I mixed all the epoxy at once and after 3/5 minutes of mixing we poured out all of the epoxy on the floor and used a large squeegee to get the epoxy to all corners of the garage and even up the side walls. Followed the squeegee up with a large 18 inch roller and then went straight to chips. I know this project can be intimidating but as long as you take your time with the prep work you will have good results. Notice that the epoxy sets up quickly so if you mix the entire batch make sure you have some help to get the material spread out evenly and quickly. Get yourself and your helper some cleats spiked shoes extra large squeegee and an 18 inch roller. Check out epoxy coats website to see all the tools that they recommend and use. I plan on using my garage as a work space and likely won’t have any vehicles on the epoxy so I’m sure it will hold up just fine in my application. Do the prep, get the right tools that the pros are using, get a little extra epoxy it will be worth it to have extra especially on your first run.

Applied using squeegee and coats well. However, coverage is thick and reduces actual overall coverage. I will try to buy an additional 3 gallons with just epoxy and not the kit.

I did a month of research before committing to this kit. You will spend twice the price on this kit compared to the ones in the big box home improvement stores but it is worth the investment. This is a high quality epoxy rated for 20+ years. if you get a cheaper kit you will see it wear off and flake in a few short years. Those kits contain water sometimes and this kit is 100% epoxy.The kit comes with just about everything you need. In addition, I would recommend:Paint roller, shoes you will throw away, plastic mat or dedicated area to mix, drill to attach to the included mixing attachment, and gloves.The seller is great. She was very accommodating and allowed me to pick my own color flake chips.Installation took about 4 hours by myself. I did not need to grind the concrete as it was a new house and didn't have any stains or residue on it. I did the acid wash that comes with the kit though which preps the surface.Everyone comments about how great the floor looks. It's easy on the feet and a breeze to clean up.1 year update:We are approaching one year with my floor being installed. I continue to be impressed. There is no peeling or wear anywhere on the floor. We park the cars on it every day. I have spilled oil on it and other chemicals, but they all wipe up like water. There is not even a stain where the oil was. I have even waited a couple weeks with oil on the floor before cleaning it up, it wiped right up. If there is one thing i regret, it's using the optional gripping salt that comes with the kit. It gives the floor some grab when you're walking on it, but it makes it a little harder to clean, kinda like wiping a fine grain sandpaper.-----Two and a half years later, there is no peeling or staining. Very easy to clean! Still extremely satisfied!
