The best product from Rust-Oleum you can use for your garage floor coating is the EPOXY Shield. The colors available are the are grey-semi gloss and tan semi-gloss. The EPOXY Shield kit contains everything you need to install your coating. But first you have to prepare your concrete for the project. The concrete must be in a good condition to successfully apply the coating. If you painted your floor before and the paint didn’t apply too well you should remove it first. But be careful about it, as this job can release very dangerous toxins. You should protect yourself when you remove the paint. Then you should check if your concrete has moisture. That can also be bad for your coating.
The last thing you should check for is if your concrete is uneven or if it has cracks.
After correcting all these problems, you should wait for a couple of days to let the concrete heal. Then you can start to apply the coating.
Before you start to prepare the coating, you should wet the concrete and with soap and water you can clean dust and dirt that might be on it. Now you can start to do your EPOXY Shield mix. Be sure to follow the instruction that come with the kit. After you have your mix you can start applying the coating. You can also get help doing that from the instructions. The coating should dry for at least 24 or 48 hours and before you get your vehicle back in the garage the coating should dry for at least 4 days.
In our opinion, the EPOXY Shield is a very good product. Everything is explained clearly in the instructions and it also works very well.
