Epoxy Coating
Epoxy coating is one of the most durable concrete floor coatings on the market. It creates a thick, hardened layer that protects your concrete from scratches, cracks, dents and chemical spills.
It’s also easy to clean, making it a great choice for garages that are often used for vehicle maintenance or repair. It’s also resistant to chemicals like motor oil, gear oil, gasoline, bleach, acids and many solvents.
Epoxy Floor Coatings come in a variety of colors to match any decor, and they’re easy to clean with just soap and water. They also offer an attractive and high-performance finish that can last for years.
Applying the Coating
Applied correctly, epoxy is an easy, fun way to turn your garage into a showpiece that both you and your car will love. The coating not only resists oil stains, beads water and wipes clean like a kitchen counter, it hides annoying imperfections in the concrete and adds an anti-skid additive for grip on snowy or ice-prone surfaces.
Once you choose the right coating for your needs, it’s time to get to work. Check the manufacturer’s instructions, which will tell you how to mix and apply the coating.
Most kits contain everything you need to apply a professional-looking coating, including a two-part epoxy paint and hardener, an etching solution, decorative color chips, and complete instructions. Be sure to read the directions closely to make the most of your time and money.
Finishing the Coating
Finishing processes are used to alter the surface of manufactured parts for a range of purposes. They can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. They can improve aesthetics, solderability, chemical-, corrosion-, tarnish- or wear-resistance, hardness, electrical conductivity, and flaw removal.
Epoxy is a durable coating that can be used on any type of floor. It’s highly resistant to water and chemicals, making it an excellent choice for garage floors.
Stucco is another common finishing option for garage floors, but it is more difficult to apply. It’s often made of a mix of cement, sand, and lime, and it can be painted or unpainted.

It’s important to prep the floor well before applying any coating product. If you make any mistakes, the coating won’t adhere properly and will likely fall off or crack. This is especially true of DIY epoxy coating kits and polyaspartic products.
