If you are set on epoxy, I have been on GarageJournal since 2005
and I have to agree GarageFlooring is probably the best, just
based on all the positive comments over the years. There has been
others that came and went, but he stuck around with good reviews.
As far as salesmanship there were a few that are now gone that
didn't even try to hide the marketing, GarageFlooring seems to
balance it pretty well.<br>
<br>
For me, I went with Racedeck 15 years ago and love it. And to
keep it British'y since this is team.net, here is a recent post
about my Racedeck, if you avert your eyes from the flooring, there
are 2 1934 Singer's (a 1.5Litre and a Le Mans) and one 1959 Mini
in the pictures.

I am just about ready to coat my new garage and have been
researching different coatings for a while. While I had good luck
with the original Rustoleum Epoxy about 15 years ago, my research
has led me away from any of their current coatings. The general
consensus seems to be that the water-based epoxy is terrible, the
solvent-based (“Professional") is ‘ok’, and the Rock Solid has
some problems, as you have found. After spending some time on
Garage Journal I decided to go with one of <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://GarageFlooring.com" class="">GarageFlooring.com</a>’s
products. (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.garageflooringllc.com" class="">http://www.garageflooringllc.com</a>)
There were other suppliers with good reviews, but I liked the low
key way their president, Justin Krauss, responded to questions.
He answers them directly and doesn’t try to use Garage Journal as
an overt sales tool, while other suppliers on the forum treat
every question as a sales opportunity. The products may be
identical, but I prefer dealing with someone like Justin.

<div class="">I emailed Justin directly and he responded with his
recommendations very quickly. We have had multiple email
discussions as I continue to educate myself and one phone call
just yesterday. He has continued to be as I observed on Garage
Journal: easy to deal with and not at all ‘sales-y’. His
recommendation to me is their Polyurea coating. It is expensive
(my garage is almost exactly the size of yours and I will spend
over $1000 all in) but seems to be worth it. My other
consideration was Rust Bullet, which is a little less expensive
and has very good reviews. I ultimately eliminated it primarily
because of the smell; it sounds like the Amerlock that Nick
recommended and apparently really stinks when it is going on and
for a few days afterwards. Our garage has living space above
and adjacent to it and I didn’t want to risk stinking everything
up. Plus, I want my wife’s help on this and she would have real
trouble with the smell. FWIW, Justin told me that Rust Bullet
had been his favorite, but he would use Polyurea if he were
doing his own garage today.</div>

<div class="">I can’t comment on the actual product yet, but feel
like I have selected the right supplier to help me. Actual
painting is still a couple of weeks away. Good luck!</div>

<div class="">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,
