What kind of epoxy and clear coat are you using that you guys don’t need a mask protector .? Also one day job it’s amazing. How much flakes you need for a full flakes job for a 2 car garage .? It’s the background color really important for a full flake job or this epoxy comes already tinted .? Do you think one coat of epoxy it’s enough .? How many years will last .?

[@krisrobinson207]

Epoxy is typically 100%solids meaning no V.O.Cs. the clear coat would have needed a respirator tho

[@marioisraelcarreralazcano1912]

Mi estimado... Un excelente pero execelente trabajo. Soy de México donde puedo comprar el material ?

[@castbob]

Hello. I just had my Pergola floor epoxy flaked in brown and sealed with clear resin epoxy. I'm assuming my flaked floor can be recoated with the same epoxy material in the future. If so, my question is after a few years, to keep this epoxy looking like new, can you re-apply more of the same epoxy on top of the flake again? If so, do you just clean and wash with soap and water or do you require a self-etching and or a bonding layer before applying the epoxy to make sure it sticks. Thx

[@Christianfranceepic]

After 24 hours after the first layer is poured it’s not wise to pour again without scuffing the surface of the epoxy.

[@Tsutskovpro]

Very good is Work! 👍🇷🇺

[@DimasGroup]

Very good video. What is the product name and brand? My garage has 2 year of use and does not have any paint. Is necessary the firt step (the big machine)? I hope you can answer me.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Hello. I don’t know the product name but I think they said they use an “in-house” epoxy product. I believe the big machine is only necessary to remove the old layer of paint / epoxy. If you don’t have an old layer, I don’t think the big machine is required.

Turned out great! Did this company charge a deposit before putting down a floor like this?

[@aeddrabih5214]

Can we just use the roller without the squeegee when we put the epoxy

[@TrevorKeeping-os5lf]

No it is to push the mass around than roller is to level the ridges roller levels it all out flat

[@Its_a_Grimm]

Yes

[@onehandclapping3094]

I’m not sold. Where’s the primer?

Better to add less flakes too much can not be taken back , that also depends on the customers liking

[@gmanikandan20]

After sanding the concrete floor is it ok To apply epoxy degreasing and etching? Or should I apply moisture sealer or some sealer like primer before applying epoxy?

[@ernztopp1360]

If you feel floor needs 2 b degreased then I say do it its definitely a safe option but I would highly suggest priming the floor before laying epoxy coat 2 b safe & 2 sealer coats afterwards for better durability

[@gmanikandan20]

@@ernztopp1360 thanks a lot for the reply. I am looking for light grey or off white coat and finish with stains like a marble like finish and glossy. Which product you recommend. Rustoleum has standard grey and tan only.

[@plasmac9]

They are literally taking the entire top layer of the existing floor right off. These guys are professionals. If you're using one of those Home Depot DIY kits you wouldn't be using that big sander. The whole point of sanding the floor like that is so they don't need to worry about a chemical degreaser or an acid etch. That sander also allows them to work much quicker whereas a degreaser and acid etch you have to wait to work. Those guys sanded the existing floor off in probably about 25-30 minutes and were then ready to epoxy.

[@toma1435]

Looks great ! What's something like this cost ?

[@Bournefort]

I'm getting a quote for a polyurea/polyaspartic coating this week. I've read online that it's around $6-7 per square foot. Epoxy is usually cheaper.

[@plasmac9]

$6000

[@MDyesifor]

What is the total cost for materials

[@Helmuesi911]

Have a professional do it.. you’d have to buy degreaser and the wash the floor. Rent the grinder. Epoxy paint will run $70-100 per gallon. The chips can be very pricey for a full flake finish. And then a couple hundred for clear coat. 10 years ago I spent $1100-1200 on materials alone. Better off hiring a pro for the extra charge. It’s worth it.

[@theunkownmr.562]

So they don't go all the way to the edge with the grinder? That's where the floor is going to fail.

[@jasonlawson4918]

[@robeh85]

What colour was that grey?

[@JoshPostVlogs]

This particular company has color names that they make up in house. I’m not sure if you are thinking of using them specifically but they called the color “Bulldog Newport”. The company is Garage Floor 1 Day in Irvine, California. You can check their website also for all the color options.

[@RamziOueslati-ri1lh]

How it cost you

how much would something like this cost for a 2 car garage?

How many pounds of flake did you use?

[@djhov82]

What does something like that cost?

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Depending on the size of garage, it could be between $2k and $3k. Also depends on several factors; if it’s just cement with little prep needed, it could be on lower end. Ours was 3 car garage and needed to remove old epoxy floor so it was on higher end.

[@ericracz4230]

Can you tell what you paid? Whats your square footage and what was the cost per square foot (and what is your closest major city area)? I'm near Des Moines and just got quoted a price of $6 per square foot (February 2023). Thanks!

Wich is the correct application?

[@ilovethenfl510]

⁠@@alfredguevara19 long rant lol Grind concrete or shot blast apply moisture barrier primer coat going to cost you a good amount but its going to last apply a top coat epoxy with flakes apply a poly or just a regualr clear coat just keep in mind might yellow but honestly even with poly after a lot of years the sun eats everything but you wont have chipping, the big issues with coating installation imo is that moisture are always so random ive tested one area and it passes you go down and it fails go down more and it passes and the issue is your sealing the concrete completely with the epoxy so the concrete can no longer breath so when the barrier isnt their it rips thru the epoxy and overtime fails, that and no sanding/shot-blasting a lot people pressure wash acid etch but its a 50/50 your epoxy will last
