This day won't be over soon enough. I'm ready to get home and get this thing done!

Awesome rebuild on the workshop.

I rebuilt my 20x30 shop a few years ago. Just got around to doing the epoxy floor setup back in the summer.
I used two of these. QUIKRETE Epoxy Garage Floor Coating

I like the looks of color and flake, but it makes things a bit harder. I use white because it's easier to find crap you dropped on it plus it brightens a room up really well.

Your floor should turn out well Harley with the careful prep you have done. Nice thing about paint is a swiffer sloor cleaner or dry mop is all you really need to keep it clean unless it's a liquid spill. Best thing to use if you spill something that wants to stain is a little gasoline. Let it sit for a few minutes and it will pull most stains up with it out of the epoxy but still not damage it.

The "drop factor" was considered but I went with what I thought would be most visually appealing to me in the end.

I will also be picking up a couple anti-fatigue floor mats for in front of the stand up machines.

That's the effect I'm going for, the major transformation with something as simple as floor paint!

I did my garage with the quikcrete and color flakes. Then used a clear sealer over that because some of the color flakes were sharp as rasors. So if you want to walk on the floor bare footed, use a sealer.

That's good to know. I'll look into the clear.

Acid etch worked great, there is a clear difference in color.




Mixed and waiting now.

Well it's finally finished. I decided on just throwing everything I used to do it away, so clean up is a breeze!

I'll go get a picture in a few. I'm hungry now!
