[Tigers] Garage Floor Coating

[Theo Smit]

I used the Behr 2-part epoxy on my floor when it was new (about 12 years ago now). I waited for the floor to age about a month, then etched it using the provided (muriatic acid ?) agent, and applied the epoxy. The only stuff that has removed it in spots is battery acid, and where I accidentally left some brake fluid sitting on the floor, it eventually lifted when I also parked the car on it. Tough stuff and I'd use it again.

Gary and friends: 

I used Rustoleum two part epoxy floor paint about 10 years ago. I’m quite satisfied; it is rugged and looks nice with the “color chips” that you sprinkle onto the epoxy before it hardens. There is no spot where this coating lifted, but I need to say that I applied it on 6 month old concrete and I carefully scrubbed the concrete with the citrus cleaner that was part of the Rustoleum kit. Cleanliness of the concrete is important. 

I’ll attach one photo I took around 2005 to let you get an idea of what it looks like.

I am almost finish with my shop and want to epoxy coat the floor. Any experience with various coatings and recommendations would be welcomed.
