<div dir="ltr">Thanks to all that replied with advice and experience. I decided to have them add a fine grit. It gets broadcast on the wet floor and is backrolled over before the coating sets. I think it turned out just right - it has some traction, but it can still be easily swept or wiped. None of this was cheap, about $6.75/sq.ft. all in, but it was a quality product installed by people who know what they are doing. I'm OK with that.<br><br>Some closeups,and a shot of the finished floor:<div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_m2dyyu9k0" alt="PXL_20241017_192423083.jpg" width="562" height="422"><img src="cid:ii_m2dyyua41" alt="PXL_20241017_192432701.jpg" width="562" height="422"><img src="cid:ii_m2dyyuak2" alt="PXL_20241016_192140649.jpg" width="562" height="422"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Oct 14, 2024 at 12:02 PM Jeff Scarbrough <<a href="mailto:fishplate@gmail.com">fishplate@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Got a question for the group:<div><br></div><div>I'm having my shop floor coated. They are using a polyaspartic coating after floor prep (surface grinding.

I plan to keep the floor dry and clean up any spills as they are made. I won't typically bring in a wet or snow-covered car.
