Speaking of garage floor paint...
I was sold on U-Coat-It but I have heard the Lowes Rustoleum epoxy and prep does a great job too. And the Lowes system cost about 50% less than the U-Coat-It. Anybody had any experience with either? Got to do a work room to for a total of about 1,000 sq. ft.
I will prep it right!

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
10 years ago I did my floor in Rustoleum 2 part epoxy...prep is the key...it still looks decent...tires or grease or ...nothing seems to affect it except for carbide snow mobile studs !!! Got rid of those long ago....you may gaet a small chip if you drop a heavy tool on it ....its as tough as steel though...

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
That was the worst part...make sure it is very very clean and degreased...especially an old floor...I had to use Muriatic acid...careful....and rinse the living crap out of it and let it gas off a few days or a week...any pores with acid in them will create a small bubble during epoxy cure...I put mine on real smooth with a squeegee...don't get trapped in a corner !

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
Let the concrete CURE and keep it CLEAN for a good while and you should wind up with a perfect floor...but let the concrete cook itself out...

Re: Speaking of garage floor paint...
When you use Muriatic acid you can use soda ash to neturalize it. It is a powder and easy to use. Still rinse like crazy and wait to or three days for the concrete to dry in the pores.
