next time you do a floor like this or any kind of painting, add caulk in addition to the painters tape.. makes for a super clean line and prevents bleed.
I have a two car garage and one of these 2.5 garage floor kits was more than enough to cover my floor and I'm very happy with the outcome. Infact I through a little away that I had leftover. Remember with painting your wanting to change the color. Its not like putting icing on a cake, the thicker the better so just change the color and you'll have plenty to complete a two car garage like I was able to..
how many sq feet is your garage, 576? I was wanting to do my new 2 door garage it's 576 with a 6 inch rise around the base. I was wanting a thick coat on mine tho. I'm probably going to go with 2 2.5 kits.
If you don't want it to bleed through the tape, caulk the edge of the tape. Just do a really thin beat of caulking. It'll seal the tape and the material won't bleed under. I'm a professional house painter and that's what I do when I paint walls and I have to cover the baseboards.
I've done this kit (different colors) in two of my garages. Prep is absolutely essential! Even after a muriatic acid wash there were spots that didn't get completely clean and the epoxy did not adhere. (Older garage that had been beaten up quite a bit.) Regardless, it still looked pretty damn nice!
My step dad, mom and brother (along with myself) did something something like this years ago (like back in '99 or '00). But we didnt have none of those items. Life before TH-cam. Where we just use some type of heavy duty paint on the carport. So we clean and washed the carport out (open carport at that). Next day we painted it. The carport looked good for about three months. It was hard work an a little fun.
This guy’s probably my favorite truck guy but I can’t get over the fact that he looks like Riley the sidekick from national treasure lol but again still my favorite truck guy
To get straight lines use caulk on the tape and floor. So when you paint it you're painting on thr caulk. When u lift the tape you're cutting the caulk which will give you a perfect line. It's impossible to get a straight line with just tape on a textured wall or floor.
I'm commenting mostly for the "almighty algorithm". I'm going to have my garage epoxied, but first, I'm going to have my basement epoxied to prevent any last bit of radon from coming into my house (on top of the radon mitigation system I have installed). This will also protect the floor until I have time to install a flooring system over it. My garage is going to take a lot more prep as I have to grind down the side wall schlup (is that even a word?) that spilled out from the concrete forms. The garage is going to happen, but it'll happen second.
I just bought the tire inflator due to me being disabled and can’t lug a compressor out of my garage. Looks like a great product looking forward to using it!
I probably getting one for similar reasons but did have a cigarette plug one that worked in a pinch and have a small jump pack & basic tools. Not sure your disability but if you do any maintenance on your vehicles what I did being paralyzed is installed air hose on retractable reels since I don't have a garage main compressor in basement and have piped to quick connects to a small Rubbermaid shed where I keep my tool cart and tools. One day I will lottery and have an accessible garage and home but till then improvise, adapt, overcome or.... (atf fronws upon last part ha)
I forgot to comment of the other video of your thoughts on a garage and I would personally look into adding onto your home garage. That way all your tools are close by and you have have to bounce between two places to get tools. BUT!! Having a separate garage that's dedicated to wrenching on badass cars/ trucks that's tucked away in the back, then I would definitely put up a 24x30 shop!!
Not sure if it would work with concrete or epoxy but I was taught a trick when painting interior walls if you tape off area then take silicone and you do small bead followed by gloved finger interior you don't need a big glob but it gets into the gaps and seals it and you get crisp lines when you peal back tape its a little more work but I suck at painting so it makes it look professional. Also that inflator is neat, do think I need one for ekit Finally I have a similar thought process though being paralyzed there is some jobs I can't do but I do still try to do what I can, I won't lie there is little jobs like oil changes that's quicker to pay for but that's just me but if I had that lift and definitely not HF jack stands a garage(I get cold for a HI is anything under 65° it's - 4° right now this is how u can key a car with ur nips lol)
You should have added a good layer of clear and some no slip additive. To anyone out there using the rust oleum kits always double what the box says it will cover. Meaning if u have a 2 car get 2 two car kits
Thought about doing black because it looked cool until you did the week later check in. Black will show all the dirt from pull ins. Medium gray with heavy chips should reduce how dirty it looks
So I did the Rustoleum gray and I messed up in a couple spots. Might have to re etch and redo because I love the performance in the areas where it actually held great. The other spots where it is failing just piss me off ha.
I have 3 gallons of the rocksolid universal clear with 3 boxes of metallic grey additive just like your home garage I think and I got the Degreaser-Moisture treatment - and bag of etch , is that how you did your garage in the beginning?
Aloha Brah, Howzit I too will be leaving Hawai’i bound for Texas in 3 days! Can’t wait to leave the Land ‘o stupid” and become a Texan. Mahalo nui loa for your channel.
I've completed the coating in my garage, but I feel it's somewhat thin. Can I apply an additional layer before the clear coat ? I utilized Rust-Oleum RockSolid Black.
Hey Manuel, I'm not an expert, but let me tell you what I did on my 28x30 garage. I used two kits. I didn't do black, I did gray, so maybe my garage floor is showing through, but with gray on gray, does it really matter? I can't tell if it is. Anyway, the kits come with two bags of flake and I bought four extra, for a total of eight. That gave me coverage similar to what is shown in the video. In other words, it takes quite a bit. As stated, prep is key. I went overboard. My garage was also brand new, so I didn't need to grind, but I started washing it several days before I laid down the epoxy, doing the acid wash and then coming back every day to respray and squeegee to get out all the dust. Then the morning I laid down the epoxy, I came back and swept it really good. It was clean enough to eat off of when I started. It's been about a year and a half and it is holding up great. I work on vehicles, rolling jacks, toolbox, and jack stands around, and do woodworking, etc. I'd classify my usage of it as medium duty. So far it is holding up like a champ. I am not careful with it at all, but I haven't dropped a 100lbs anvil on it either. I know that doesn't directly answer your question, but hopefully it will help give you some guidance. Good luck.
What would you recommend on a floor that has been painted many times over the years and what would you use to fill cracks ? Regular thinset ? And can one part be done and later another part ? In other words can it be blended into each other ? Makes sense ?
I'm in Texas just pored a 31x26 slab for a shop went with 4 inches thick to cut the cost and do aluminum building the concrete cost me 5000. Material are high
That’s crazy their kit only uses one coat. Wonder how long it will last. The kit I did from “original color chips” has 3 coats: an epoxy primer, the main base coat, and a urethane top coat. If you can get away with using just one coat by using this kit it definitely would save a lot of time compared to the one I used. For those 3 coats you have to wait about a day between coats.
Great video! I’m sure you’ve got your Camaro tags updated….watch out for the north Texas police 👮♀️….they are out in force writing tickets 😩 love the channel
I hired a firm to put a polyaspartic coating on my two car garage. They started at 8:15 am and finished at 1:30 the same day. Parked cars on it the next day.
So would you recommend the grinder process or acid? My garage floor is almost a year old, but there’s paint and stuff on the floor from a different project.
@@LonestarHawaiian Please don't give anyone advice on resinous floor coatings. You have no idea what you're talking about. No reputable coating manufacturer would warrant their product on a not properly ground or blasted floor. Etching is not okay, never will be. It doesn't open up the pores properly. I do this for a living. 👍
Question for you is I have the same size garage here in Texas aswell. I’m watching your video and wondering how many bags I need. I know you said 3.75 so you only used 3 bags on the garage ? I was gonna get the 2.5 car kit and a 1.0 car kit in the same exact color and all like this garage you did. Please let me know. Thanks
Rustoleum makes a clear grit that can be added, same as the color flake, to add traction. Sonif you want a mostly black floor with sparse white flake (which I prefer... my man let his family add way too much flake to that onyx monolith) you just sprinkle a little clear grit along with your color flakes.
I like how y'all didn't cover all the black to where you couldn't see it. Most people go too hard with the flakes. I like actually seeing the background
Wait, was this Rustoleum Rock Solid garage floor coating like your thumbnail shows, or the Epoxy coating? Two different products, not sure which one you are using here?
I’m doing this project currently. I’d use thick painters tape (yellow for maximum sealing) and do one square at a time to ensure it doesn’t bleed over and your lines stay clear.
Love the channel but the DIY kits are definitely not the way to go for a long-term solution. I did everything and more for prep and hot tires marks started within weeks. Wrote the company and they said with "higher-end" tires leeching is normal and DIY kits won't prevent it from happening. Got a full refund on all materials but still spent numerous hours moving and storing stuff in and out of the garage.
I’m reaching to to Fanttik to see what’s going on. In the meantime you can search “Fanttik X8 Apex” in Amazon’s search bar, select it, and use the coupon code that way and it works.
You video is hard to watch as you swing the camera back and forth and up and down in a very jerky fashion. I would suggest working on your flow. They sell gear to help with this as well and worth it as it will improve your content.

Can’t believe no worlds greatest camera man shots. Really going to get one of those Fanttik inflators. Really cool how compact it is.
Would you apply a clear coat of epoxy resin over the top for protection or can that ruin the finish?

🤦♂️ should of waited till the end to make that comment where you just said you're waiting to build a new garage lol
Next time try using yellow painters tape it's designed to seal better to stop bleeding. Looks great BTW 👍
I should have done that to our garage floor before we moved in but it was in the middle of winter here in the Mid-West! Great job!
Reminds me of the La Brea Tar pits in LA - but, but, no, they’re cool too, seriously though, great job guys!

Always major , major life motivational.... Salute to everyone grind, Motivations, accomplishments , families , goals.....
That floor looks great! And thanks for showing us new products too, that tire inflator looks very convenient.
Should have added the non skid additive stuff if you didn’t want slick floors. We do ours dark grey next week no flakes..
Have you ever put a clear coat on top? To easier sand and recoat where needed and not touch your color??
Just use a wax bar and straight edge to help with it bleeding. It’ll keep your lines straight every time.

Awesome I just got their jump pack will have it tomorrow 😀
Did they already stop selling the black paint? I can only find gray, dark gray and tan.
YOU SHOULD TRY PUTTING DOWN SOME GRIP TAPE IN YOUR GARAGE ON THE WALKWAYS
WHY ARE YOU YELLING.
Try the green frog tape next time. I’ve had nothing but sharp edges with green frog tape.
Can I do this if my garage floor already has a sealer?
Is the floor smooth or bumpy? Is it back friendly,lol
Did you end up using the rollers in the kit ?
So its been 2 years, hows it holding up?
Can i ask what kind of investment this is in, im in the desert
gorrilla tape clear silicone on edge you want to paint pull tape while paint is wet u get lazer straight paint line everytime
Fun video, really cool seeing you do something different ! Haven’t ran out of ideas for the trail boss have you lol ?
did you degrease and etch on the same day, or wait a day?
We waited at least a full 24 hrs. Concrete has to be completely dry
Thank you! interesting - see ya!!😇
New subscriber here and man that floor came out nice
Don't we need to apply clear epoxy protection?
Does the battery die when u don’t use it? The little air pump
Holds a charge for up to 2 years
