Sorry, but no. Especially if you have a larger garage. The one in the picture is 24 X 36. The epoxy people put in a lot of time at my garage. I wanted something really nice because there is a special car going in there and I wanted a show quality floor. They did that. It might be a little bit of a waste of money, but oh well..................There are no luggage racks on a hearse!

The floor people have to degrease the floor and then etch the floor. Once the concrete is clean, they profile the garage floor by exposing the pores in the surface of the concrete for the epoxy to flow into and achieve a good bond.

Dust and temperature are issues. Most epoxy paint coatings can be applied in temperatures from 55 to 90 degrees, with temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees ideal. The epoxy kits come in 1½ gallon components – 1 gallon Part A resin to ½ gallon Part B hardener.

Depending on which epoxy coating system you are installing, the first coat will be a primer coat or the color base coat. There is approximately a 40 minute working window during ideal conditions.

There is a window of 10 to 24 hours before applying the second coat. This is based on ideal temperatures.

I used Hard Surface solutions. They did good work and I found them because of work they did for John Getty, Gettyshine.

Do you mind sharing what that cost? I'm looking to have my garage floor done, and it's one thing I might be willing to invest in.

Not at all They charged $5,400 but keep in mind that is a 24 X 36 garage. A standard 2 car garage is 24 X 24 should be less.

They also dealt with the transition between the garage floor, under the door, and the pavement outside. They installed some material that looks like hot top that gave it a nice level edge and a finished look.

Awesome, thanks. It looks great!

If you could, please let us know the actual hours they spent working in your garage. By the way, it does look nice.

I want to know what car is deserving of that beautiful floor?

My father had a yellow '16 Camaro convertible that I've always felt was the perfect combination of performance, neoclassic style, and contemporary luxuries. I could have inherited it, but having only two garage stalls meant that I'd have to keep my 4Runner outside—not a super-huge deal, but enough of an issue, added to the dirtiness from my wife's using the other side, to reduce my interest (I'd already done it once with a Ford Escape and Mustang convertible).

Fortunately, my brother, who was just building a garage and was used to parking outside, wanted it, so it stayed in the family.

It's an economy car. I bought it for the rated gas mileage: 29 Highway.

(Now if I could keep my foot out of it I might get that some day! 0 to 60 2.8 seconds is more fun!)
