    Pics of first coat of epoxy is applied and timed to dry.
    Then the second coat of epoxy is topped with the color flakes while wet.









    Two top coats of epoxy will be added on top of the flakes tomorrow.
    BTW - This is Sherwin-Williams industrial epoxy that you have to be certified to purchase/apply.

    Final flakes applied





    Next - two coats of clear epoxy. The second coat has clear grit particles.
    It can be done without adding grit if you want a very smooth floor to mop.
    I would like some grit so if I ride the bikes in from rain they don't slip and fall.
    BTW - This stuff is impervious to oil, grease, solvents & just about everything.

    Here's a link to the product.

    I have non-skid tiles on my back deck and my front portico and it's impossible to mop or dry it up quickly for an event/party.
    But since it is all outside I just pressure wash it and schedule enough time to let it air dry.

    Besides totally emptying the garage every time to hit it up with the hose or pressure washer, how will you keep this clean with the grit in there?

    My plan (We'll see how it goes when they actually do it) is to have them put just a little clear grit in the top coat.
    This means I'll have enough grab for a wet motorcycle tire to have traction and be smooth enough to mop & wash.
    The product as I understand it is like a clear ground glass that is invisible when it is dusted on the top epoxy coat.
    The walls are painted with exterior paint that can get wet and I have painted the air handler box with marine paint.
    The cabinets have adjustable legs. They don't sit flat on the floor & will be pitched back so the doors swing closed.
    I should be able to hose underneath them and then hit the space with a leaf blower to remove any remaining water.

    Great! Sounds like a good plan. I forgot about the trusty leaf blower!

    First coat of clear epoxy. It darkened up a bit and has some gloss.
    A fine mist of ground glass dusted on top for a little bit of traction.

    The last clear epoxy top coat was finished today...
    Now it's drying time before the cabinets arrive and get installed.



    Final Product.


    Here is the complete picture series of the process and the products used.

    Fantastic job Merlin. Looks gorgeous!

    Are you sure the wife is going to let you detail vehicles in the driveway any more?
    You wouldn't want to mess it up or anything!

    Ah Ha! You have finally unraveled my master plan. Shhh...Don't whisper a word.
    Notice what I've had done in the upper right hand corner of this picture (AC Vent).
    No more worries about rain, 100 degree temps or LSP's that take 24 hours to dry.
    Pull the door down, open the A/C vent, turn on the tunes and enjoy the garage.
    I have been researching insulation panels to insert in the garage door panels.

    Lowes sells a product similar to Insulfoam. This is (not my garage) what it looks like.
    The exterior surface has a paintable surface. It's easy to cut & fits in the recesses.
    I figure if it drops the temps 10 to 20 degrees it's the best investment in the garage.
