Electra Glide In Blue

 This is one of the easiest DIY projects for updating your garage. My garage floor has been setting   untouched since the house was built in 83, with oil and rust stains it was looking shitty. I had seen epoxy coating done to allot of new homes that I have work on, and decided it was time to give the old floor a new look. I shopped around and found the Rust-Oleum product to be my choice, it was on sale, and sometimes I’m a name-brand type of guy. They offered two types of product, one that covers approx 250 sq.ft., and a double kit that stated coverage of 450 sq.ft. My floor was pushing 525 sq. ft. so I doubled up on the single package, total cost around 160 bucks.

Preparing the surface is key to this product lasting, with the kit is detailed instructions. The first day I prepped the floor by cleaning and etching, then the rinse. After allowing the floor to dry I was able to apply the coating to half of the floor using up one kit. The next day I finished the job by noon.

Things you will need beside the coating kit;

1.Heavy duty scrub brush and pole.

2.Two good paint rollers, frame, and paint tray.

3.A couple of 5gal. buckets.

4.Squeegee for moving the rinse water around and helping with the drying time.

If you have a two car garage I’d recommend doing half one day and the other half on the next.

You can have light foot traffic  12hrs., and let it set at least 4 - 5 days before you park a car on it.

This is a good spring clean, garage project. The nice thing is the easy clean up of spilled oil, it wipes rite up
