Best garage floor paint?????

72Dodge said

I have an epoxy textured coating (I didn't do it, previous owners did) and I hate it. If anything whatsoever gets on it, not only is it hard to clean, but if it's caustic at all, it bubbles the finish right off. I'm sure this is an issue with a lot of coatings, and ideally nothing spills on it, but it's a garage, stuff does. I have no experience with other coatings, so I can't give advice, but I would not do an epoxy floor again myself.

Had epoxy coating on floor at a past house and loved it. Cleans up well, looks great and very durable

PREP WORK IS KEY

New concrete needs to cure but I think 30 days should be good for the epoxy or other costing.

IN MY OPINION (was a facility maintenance supervisor for 18 years) the floor has to be shot blasted before coating. U Coat suggest acid wash, some offer diamond grinding, I PREFFER SHOT BLAST!

Think about painting a car without sanding, you need a surface the coating will stick to, if not it will delaminate.

Epoxy coating made the garage another room in the house, had to mop it to keep it looking great, but loved it. Spilled gas on it without any effect on finish, oils, grease and crap that comes off the car in the winter clean up with little effort.

Only problem is I coated the asphalt driveway and it marked the garage floor and it took some effort to clean that up, but the hot tires never damaged the finish.
