Amazing presentation! Great job!! I've seen a few other videos that didn't show the end work of the clear coat finish! Yours is top notch! Can't wait to do my garage...
I am planning to do my garage this year. I just finish a pergola but I use a twigee to put the clear coat. Did the roller on clear coat give a smooth finish. Looks very good with clear instruction with the little tips
Great , to the point video . Plan on doing my floor this weekend , 2 stall . I hope mine turns out as nice as yours did . I think I will go heavy on the chips , similar to yours .
Well I did get to do my floor . I feel pretty lucky , I was able to find 3 kits off of FB marketplace for $75 . I prepped the floor , even though it was really clean to begin with . I pressure washed it , acid etched it and did a final wipe with acetone. I have a 2 1/2 car garage and I'm glad I bought the 3 kits because I almost ran out . However , I did run out of chips , but was able to run to the hardware store to grab some quick before the paint dried . I wasnt happy with the result , it lists it as a semi gloss , but really it looks more matte . I bought 2 gallons of rustoleum gloss clear and even with 2 coats , only resulted in a semi gloss finish . 4 weeks later , and I even let it cure for 1 week , I already have some dime size spots that have hot tire peeled . My advice is 1) if your going to use your shop for light duty work like woodworking or lawnmower/atv repair , you'll be fine . However for automotive repair where your pulling cars in and out of your shop , I'd skip the kits and have it professionally installed . 2) buy extra kits and chips . I nearly ran out of the epoxy mix and did run outta chips . 3) work fast , I mixed all 3 kits I bought in a bucket and barely finished before the epoxy started to get tacky , little over an hour. 4) clear coat is definitely needed , no where near the shine it claims is a semi gloss .
@@ericmaass3459 thanks for the input. I have heard people saying that one pack definitely can not handle a 2.5 garage. So I guess for my 390 sqft garage. I need to buy 2 kits then? Also was there a sealant on your floor? You mentioned you did not diamond grind it. I assume the surface is like a bare concretely? I was wondering since you had a imperfect result maybe because there was a sealant on it and you just etched it instead of grinding so maybe the epoxy didn’t adhere with the floor very well?
@@frankisme7792 Frank , Yes I would definitely buy 2 kits . You can always bring one of the kits back . Nothing worse than being 3/4 ways through doing your floor and running short . Oh and buy extra chips too . My 2.5 stall measures 25X25 or 625 sq ft . Each kit covers 250 sq ft X 3 kits = 750 sq ft . So I thought I'd be safe having 125 sq ft to spare , nope just barely. I'm sure it doesn't matter , but the kits I bought off of FB were the old style kits in the cans . The new style kits are bagged , however square footage is square footage . As far as the concrete goes , its fairly new , I'd say within 12 years . Its just plain concrete , no sealer . Surprisingly only a few stains from a lawn mower was about it . Thats why I didn't diamond grind it . After pressure washing , acid etch and a final wipe down with acetone , It passed the white rag test . The issue isn't spots where the oil spots were , those are fine , its tire lift /peel , and I just drive in and back out in a straight line . I'd be afraid of what would happen if I turn my wheels while at a standstill . I wouldn't be upset if a few spots lifted here and there a few years down the road , but its lifting a few weeks after I did it . Rustoleums clear I applied as a topcoat , wherever the tires sit , turns the clearcoat a yellowish tint . All in all I can't complain too much, I paid $75 for 3 floor kits , $80 for 2 cans of clear and $12 for a bag of extra chips . Still worth it if just for the fact its so much easier to clean. I wish Rustoleum would get their act together and offer a touch up kit for chips and peels , hard to believe they don't as popular as the epoxy coating kits are . So what is one suppose to do ? Buy a entire kit to do few touch up spots ?
Hello, can you please let me know how well it held up on the OUTSIDE of your garage door in the sunlight and weather?? Im debating between doing what you did and taping it off where the garage door meets the floor like others have done. Directions state not for exterior
I have a question, the material that you mixed with the cleer, I mean the small bag, is it the same material that you used at the beginning when you washed the floor?
I have a 2 car garage… is it possible to do one side at a time? First complete one side totally; then the other? The reason I’m asking is because I have a lot of stuff in the garage that I would need to remove from the floor. If I could do one side at a time I could store that on the side not being worked on.
I have notice that u painted the outside part of the floor how did that hold down because I need to paint the outside as week and it’s says it can’t be exposed to the sun and stuff?
Se deja secar por una noche y se pone lo que es el clear o que es lo mismo resina transparente. Una o dos capas el producto te dice cuanto esperar entre cada aplicación.
@@AZIMBAYO1 Thanks! And also did the 1 box of clear covers the entire garage or did you have to buy extra one? It seems that one bag only covers part of the floor.
@@AZIMBAYO1 im hoping, i etched it real good, just hard to tell what is "clean enough". Do you suggest doing the top coat after you lay the epoxy? I know it says you dont have to but
@@AZIMBAYO1 i just did it yesterday and looks great I'm just getting it rest for a while before walking on it! Hope it holds up with use, thanks for your video a ton. Only thing is i cant find the clear coat did they discontinue it? Nobody is carrying it anymore
Well done man! How many sqft is this garage? I have heard someone said one package actually is not enough for a 400sqft garage even though it says up to 450-500 sqft as advertised. And how much paint is left after painting this garage? Thanks!
I've watched about 50 of these videos today. Yours looks amazing.
Amazing presentation! Great job!! I've seen a few other videos that didn't show the end work of the clear coat finish! Yours is top notch! Can't wait to do my garage...
Thank you so much for your guidance. I really wanted to do epoxy since 3 years ago waited for good guide now finally I find the right guide. 🙏

Nice work. Great job of explaining and demonstrating the process and the product. Very useful.
Great job guys. A joy to watch you work, you sure know your stuff, real pros.
Great video man. Almost every video I've seen they don't show the ending. When you're putting the clear coat on.

another question, could you put the 15 x cleer on the 20 x epoxy?
I have a question, the material that you mixed with the cleer, I mean the small bag, is it the same material that you used at the beginning when you washed the floor?
No its different
First one is a concrete cleaner
Second one is mix with the paint epoxy
@@AZIMBAYO1 Thanks for the information, your videos have very good content
Thank you very much 👍

Yes you can do one side at a time
Pro tip If you garage floor has expansion joints yes if not I wouldn’t recommend it you will get lap lines where the two coats meat
And you will also have to buy 2 one car kits because with a 2 1/2 car kit the unused epoxy will not be usable the second day.
Excellent Presentation. You did a phenomenal job ! ! ! !
I have notice that u painted the outside part of the floor how did that hold down because I need to paint the outside as week and it’s says it can’t be exposed to the sun and stuff?
Do you need the sealer or is it more to just have a gloss finish?
You need the sealer.
It makes it more durable.
Buenas disculpa una pregunta despues de poner el confeti se pasa otra capa de clear o ya es todo despues de ponerlo
Se deja secar por una noche y se pone lo que es el clear o que es lo mismo resina transparente. Una o dos capas el producto te dice cuanto esperar entre cada aplicación.
How much of of the final clear coat did you apply on it? Was the 2.66L on your video enough for the 2 cars garage? Thanks
Wow looks good very neat 👌
Thank you👍
Someone finally used a blower thank you :-)
Did the flakes that comes with the kit covers enough? Or did you need to buy additional flakes? if it is, how many bags you bought?
I buy additional flakes 2 bags.
@@AZIMBAYO1 Thanks! And also did the 1 box of clear covers the entire garage or did you have to buy extra one? It seems that one bag only covers part of the floor.
What you used to fill cracks?
I use thin-set tile mortar
how much do you charge to epoxy a 2 car garage....
Good job 👍🏼 well done 👍🏼
Thank you very much 👍
How has the garage held up ?
It's holding up really good 👍
It has been 6 months. What is your honest opinion now?
Looks great! Paint chips are spread very evenly! Do you have any tips you have not mentioned on problems encountered?
Yes 2 tips
I ran out of paint chips. Make shore to buy extra
I also ran out the the sealer. Make shore you have enough for the area you are painting
Thank you very much!
@@AZIMBAYO1 from the video it seems that you overdid it. Maybe thats why? I bought the smaller kit for 1 car garage.
Never had a problem of stains on the floor from car tires!?
How many bags of the decorative chips did you use?
I use 4 bags.
Tip. Buy extra bags incase you run out
Hows it holding up?
Very good 👍
Will the snow damage it
I don't know if snow will damage it
I live in Florida
How much you charge for 3 cars carage floor..only labor
Im looking to do this to my garage this summer any review on how it's holding up over the year?
It's holding up really good
Just follow the directions on the box.
And make shore the floor is clean properly before applying.
@@AZIMBAYO1 im hoping, i etched it real good, just hard to tell what is "clean enough". Do you suggest doing the top coat after you lay the epoxy? I know it says you dont have to but
Yes I recommend doing the clear coat after the epoxy drys for 24 hours
@@AZIMBAYO1 thanks so much awesome video, cant wait to do mine hope it works out

Very detailed thank you
When I mixed the epoxy clear coat it came out sandy. Does anyone know why this happen?
That helps in anti skidding
Boss job nicely done
Thank you very much 👍
How is it holding up two years later
Very good 👍
Can use that in the back yard .
Yes it is made for outdoor concert
Thanks for watching 👍
Wow looks great
Nice Job
looks good guys
Beautiful
Thank you 👍
Very nice!
Thank you 👍
How many packs of the clear seal did you use?
Hey I had to use 2 packs
Daoes the seal come with the epoxy box?
No
You have to buy the sealer separately
Was the clear coat necessary?
Yes
It protects the surface
@@AZIMBAYO1 Did you use just one box of the clear coat?
2 boxs
How's it looking about 2 months later?
also what knit of roller did you use?
It's looking good
I use a 1/4 nap roller
So I noticed that thew electric panel front cover is missing and spraying water around near it is super dangerous.
