I've bought my first home, and want to coat the garage floor whilst its clean/empty.
It's a new property, the concrete was poured over 3 months ago so its ready to be coated.
USA seems to have a huge variety of DIY Epoxy kits that include base coat, flakes, clear and all required tools for about $200 but it costs too much in shipping to get it to Oz.
(Epoxy Paint For Garage Floors – Epoxy-Coat.com seems to be quite popular in the states with good reviews).
I found a Dy-mark kit at Bunnings but it's not available in many colours and can't be tinted (I'm after a bright red)
The kit also does not come with clear coat so this has to be purchased separately.
I was only able to find one review for this product, and this was a complaint about the clear yellowing and hot tyre pick-up.
I'm well aware of the prep work involved before applying the epoxy/clear.
It would be immensely appreciated if somebody could help me with the below:
1 - Has anybody here got first hand experience with applying an epoxy kit to there garage floor and how well has it held up?
2 - Any members that work in a paint store that can recommend a brand/product for a reasonable price?
Cheers,
Izzy
