Re: Garage Floor Coatings.

I also used the Rustoleum epoxy stuff. Mine turned out like crap in the end. I tried following the steps exactly as I was supposed to but it turned out crappy. Couple areas I think I went wrong were I had an old dirty floor. I prepped it good but I also used some patching compound to fill in cracks/chips. I think I should have let that stuff dry for a lot longer. I think there was still moisture in that stuff, which eventually caused the paint to bubble and peel.

Also some areas looked a little different then others. Maybe I didn't mix the paint as well as I should have.

Brownmans looks real good, so I know it can be done. I think with my 20 year old dirty floor, made my job trickier, and ended up looking like crap. Also I did it in fall when it was starting to get cool out, and wonder if that didn't make it dry/cure/harden as much.

So I guess my advice would be that it can turn out good, but just make sure that floor is as dry as possible, because any moisture that can come up will screw it all up.
