Applying Epoxy Floor Coating

After each section is rolled sprinkle the color chips onto the wet paint if desired.

Applying epoxy floor coating.

Let the primer dry for 24 hours before adding your first coat of epoxy. A good epoxy floor coating when cured is just about stain proof and cleaning it is similar to cleaning your teflon pan. An epoxy garage floor resists grease oil and many other substances that would ruin ordinary paint. After another 24 hours of drying time inspect the floor for any cracks and add crack filler if you need to.

Garage floor epoxy flooring is a tough long lasting coating that you paint onto the concrete. Garage floor epoxy paints clean easily and can be found in a variety of colors if you look hard enough so you can keep your garage floor paints. Epoxy creates a tougher coating than paint but it is a little trickier to apply. Careful prep and an organized approach are the keys to success.

Begin covering the floor with a paint roller working in 4 by 4 foot sections. Our epoxy coatings are available in many different colors with custom colors available for larger size floors. We also have decorative color flakes that can be added into the epoxy for a granite type look. If you used crack filler wait 12 to 16 hours before adding your second and final coat of epoxy.

Once the floor is dry start applying a coat of epoxy primer. Coat the edges of the garage floor and any adjacent curb surfaces with epoxy using a nylon bristle paintbrush just as you would cut in along the edge of a wall when painting. Once the calculations color choices and cleaning are taken care of the actual application will seem like the easiest part.
