i L-O-V-E my epoxied floor!!! - i wouldn't let any cars in the garage in the new house until I epoxied it and let it dry for a couple months - cleans up real quick and easy!


Did you do the epoxy job your self or was it a contract job.

Is it truly a DIY project.

Was it done on a brand new floor - it looks as though it was.

yes brand new floor

diy all the way

rust-oleum kit, but bought at the BORG (big orange retail giant)

two secrets to the success (other than virgin concrete): 1) didn't use the flakes they included, I have never seen anyone do them evenly, and 2) behr sells an anti-skid additive, one pouch per gallon that makes it slip resistant.

if it wasn't virgin concrete, would have used a degreaser first. oh yeah and you have to etch the concrete to get adhesion, etching solution was sold seperately I believe.

Bought, restored and sold a 520 before I knew what I had (and should have kept) - Now I found religion and I'm working on restoring a 500 and a 10E.
