Hey, Gary:
I've had a little experience with both petroleum-based two-part epoxy floor
paint and water-based two-part epoxy floor paint. After following the
directions to the letter in both situations with regards to floor prep (which
is monumentally important), the long term results were completely different
between the two products. Bear in mind that both floors were no more than
three months old when I applied the paint.
The floor that took the petroleum-based paint still looks good to this day,
even after all the abuse it's taken over the years. Man, it would take a jack
hammer to get the paint off that floor!!! The floor that took the water-based
paint, however, didn't fare so well after time. True enough, the water-based
paint was the easier of the two to apply and they both looked fantastic after
they were finished. However, the water-based floor simply did not stand up to
the abuse that the petroleum-based floor seemed to take with apparent ease.
The first time I dropped a wrench on it, it chipped the paint...and it got
worse from there. I was so disgusted with it all that I ended up putting
RaceDeck down over the water-based floor. So far, the RaceDeck has performed
beyond expectations and I would recommend it as a possible option for you if
you were inclined to look at that sort of product.
Best of luck with your decision and post some pics when you're done!!!
Take care,
Andy Walker
