Garage Floor Coatings

[nivag]

Anyone have any good self leveling garage floor coatings to recommend? Want something that can with stand a few minor spills, hard, etc...

Thanx for any leads

I can NOT reccommend anything available at home depot/rona etc.  Especially that Behr crap.

The best would be an epoxy system.  Or race-trax, but that's big bucks (easy to lay down though).

i use old pieces of carpet.always lie flat and take spills very well .always warm on the feet,great to lie and kneel on when working.plus you can find them everywhere cheep.
sounds silly but it works great

I'll second what Jim said.
Nothin' like a good patch of rug to lay down and get on your knees for.
Good for soakin' up the stains too, but what do I know [_[


And what ehos said - stay away from any of the shite at home-crap-o.

The above guys make a product that I used on my last house garage floor - it worked very well - never chipped, cleaned easily etc...

Can't remember the name of the stuff though.

I gotta say despite opinions to the contrary I used Behr's epoxy paint (from Home Depot) on new constuction concrete when I first moved into my place in the summer of 2003 and it still looks great. I've had no chipping and none of the \"hot tire pickup\" that others have described. Having said that, it was brand new concrete and I was very careful to follow the preparation instructions as far as cleaning and etching the surface goes.

Just my opinion, but I'd use it again.

My floor will be getting vinyl black and white tiles.
