Epoxy-coat has their kit in the sub-$500 range that I've really been wanting to do. But I'm not sure I'm in too much of a hurry to do anything to the floors.

looks great now lets do the floors ASAP.  You can buy the linoleum tiles cheap, some armstrong adhesive and go to town for less than $300 bucks and in any color combo you want.  No need to spend thousands on etching, paint and so on.  My floor's been done for 9 years with NO problems.

But all you ever do is clean your bikes in your garage...  you bring the real work to ours...   

Looks nice!   

The only problem with epoxy coating a floor is you REALLY need to acid etch it first.
EVERYTHING has to be out and away from the garage to do it without damaging your stuff.

I pressure washed the floor, acid etched it with straight muraic acid, then pressure washed it again, let it dry for a week in August, THEN coated it.

No problems with hot-stick, peeling, anything.  It's bullet proof.

I've seen pretty "first results" turn into an ugly disaster after a few months if it isn't done right.

I bought enough stuff to do the 3-car garage in my first house but I could never get the garage empty for a week...
So I did the second house with the stuff I bought intended for the first and coated it before I even moved in.

IMHO that's the only way, unless you can store your stuff in the house for a week while you do it.

(I can't -I've got too much crap)

way too much work IMO, I did mine for $280 buckaroos.

because Stan can never say no.....you on the other hand.

The original hope was to do it before we moved in as it would be the most convenient time. But it fell though and other things came first.

Not to mention I would have to get one of those giant floor grinders because the floor itself is not perfectly smooth. So that's always a bummer.

Unless you have 6 inch bumps you don't need a grinder, I didn't use one.  With epoxy that shit will show easily.

Yea that's what I was talking about. If I was going to epoxy it, I would end up spending a ton just to prep the floor properly. So I'm just holding off for now.

Well when you decide buy beer and I'll supervise and provide feedback.
