[Shop-talk] Epoxy garage floor coatings

[vintagenick42]

I have used Amerlock paint on my floors. Not made for floors but rather for offshore oil rigs. Figure thats a pretty ruff environment so the floor should be easy. It has held up very well for many yesrs now. It will get dull in hi traffic areas but is just not affected by chemicals.Only caveat is that it really is smelly while drying...as in you really dont want to be around for the next 24 hours after you paint. Wear a good respirator when paimting.
Bottom line...held up v well and i would use it again.
Painted into a corner again...Nick in norcal

I decided to do an epoxy floor in my garage and it's been a total 
nightmare.   The guy painting my house said he could do it and had done 
others before.  I prepared the floor by grinding down to bare concrete 
with a diamond pad on a floor machine rented from Home Depot.  I let the 
painter choose the product.  He bought Rustoleum Rock Solid which said 
there would be enough for a 2.5 car garage. My garage is a basic 2 car 
22' by 24' with a little cut off for a chimney.  He used the kit and 
there is no way it was going to be enough as it only coated 3/4s of the 
garage and thinly at that. He went and bought another single kit to 
finish and of course it didn't match the first color.  He let it dry a 
few day and sanded the floor to level the decorative chips in the paint 
and used another 2.5 size kit to top coat it.  the color is a tan and 
gray area rose through the paint basically ruining the looks of the 
paint. I can't really blame him as he followed all the directions 
carefully.  I think Rustoleum will reimburse him for all the paint I 
hope.  At this point, I want to grind it all back off and start with 
another product.  Anyone had any recent experience with garage floor 
coatings?  Thanks very much,  John Mitchell  Shelton, CT
