Garage Project

Cool, yeah I had etched prior to doing it as well, but only let the cement filler dry for maybe 2 days before painting. Hopefully it works better for you than it did for me.

Yeah, i am hoping the Premium clear coat helps keep the chipping and peel ups away. Im going to give it a good 7-10 days before driving on it due to the colder weather.
Also the box has a no peel guarantee, so if i see a peel they will be getting a call. (heard on line that rustoleum has good customer support where if you see problems with color or peel ups they send you however many kits you bought so you can redo the entire garage, one value pack (2.5 garage), one single pack, and two clear kits.)

So, i went outside after work and looked, There are two shades of grey.
Basically i had two kits, one was for a 1 car, and one for a 2.5 car garage. They must have been from two different batches of paint at the factory. So i called rustoleum and their support told me that what i needed to do is mix all of the bases in a big 5 gallon bucket and then pour the bases back into their cans and seal them up, then activate one at a time.
They stated that i will need to reapply the entire area because there will likely be a color difference again if i apply over the darker area. So they told me to go to home depot pick up two more kits and then send them the receipt for the kits and they will reimburse me for the extra kits i needed to buy.
Sucks i have to redo this but good that they are standing behind their product and paying for it. Hell at least i get double the protection. hahah.

Nice that they stand behind their product!

That should give you plenty of time to build a 3 legged work bench!! :lol:

"The colors were Smokers White (aka was painted white but was smoked so much in there that the walls turned a yellowish) and Pink cabinets and trim: YUCK"
They were probably making meth in the garage!
And why redo it? You will have stains on the floor soon enough so who cares? Are you obsessive compulsive?

Im not obsessive compulsive. but when i invest this much money (one 2.5 car kit, One regular kit, 2 premium clear kits, rollers, pan liners, tape, it adds up fast) and time into it i want it to look perfect. Who cares? I care. :) I care because i know that whoever walks into the garage is going to be like "Whats with the two different colors right there?"
Plus it will also help fill in some of the pits that are natural to most garages that havent just been poured.
It actually wont take that much time to redo the mass of the floor. maybe a couple hours. The main time consuming part of the project was doing the Logo and letting that dry before continuing. and im not redoing the logo part.

The Mitsu Man Cave is done. Yesturday i applied the second coat of Epoxy that Rustoleum paid for. And today i put on the clear coat. It looks really nice. I will take pics in a day or two when its completely dry.
