• i am going to epoxy the garage floor in the new place. anyone done it?

  • No, but have had 2 part epoxy paint in my ebay watch list for months, so would be interested to see how you get on. my garage floor has lots of random crap on it around the edges where it was rendered and then not cleaned properly, so really need to get a grinder in first to clear that up.

  • We’ve just redone our workshop with Epilife 2 from Mylands paints, it seems pretty good has stayed down and wears pretty well.

  • I just got really confused because another mate asked the exact same thing in a facebook group. The consensus was it's really hard and garage floor tiles might be easier but @citron seems to disagree!

  • Place I sometimes work at just did ca 200sqm of workspace.
    It looks bad bc the concrete wasn't that even, and the epoxy is shiny so highlights that.
    And they managed to produce a spot that never dried, which they then had to grind off and redo. The guys that did the work found it stressful.

    High quality normal floor paint is quite hard wearing in my experience, and the whole process is way more relaxed. And if stuff goes wrong or wears off you can just touch up. Also no thanks to wearing full face masks in summer.
    On the other hand, if you don't mind the toxic aspect and all goes well as in @citrons case, it can look very slick.
