We are progressing along (finally) with "the Motorhome's" new garage. Framing is done and so is the siding and trim. I still need to insulate, drywall and paint the walls and ceiling.
I'd like to epoxy the floor when done with those jobs.
However, I just had a guy over to talk about epoxy coatings (~880 square feet)and he ball parked it at $8/square foot for his deluxe package. He's sending me a quote, but I pretty sure I won't be spending $7,000 for the floor. I could buy another GMC or 2 for that.
I am thinking of buying a kit online and doing it myself. Hopefully for a fraction of the $7,000 price.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to coat the floor would be durable enough for the jobs planned for our GMC.

I did my garage and workshop with RustOleum Epoxyshield from Home Depot. It has held up well now for 5 years.
Do a small area at a time. The areas will blend well. It is a two part system. If you mix too much it will cure before you get it down. DON’T USE IT IF IS HAS STARTED TO THICKEN. It won’t level and it stays gummy. You have to take it off with mineral spirits and do that section over.
Easy to apply with a paint roller.

We have used Seal Krete 1-Part that we get from Lowes
The five gallon pail covers about 1,200 sq ft. (they make rather outlandish claims in their literature for how much it covers)
Again, prep is everything.

For that kind of money, Persian carpet comes to mind. There are several 2
part floor coatings out there. Real 2 part epoxies are nasty stuff to
handle until they are fully cured. I have never used any of the water based
products. Try Googling Eastwood, or California Car Covering, or Griot's
Garage, they all have on-line catalogs that list shop floor coatings.

Also you probably should do a moisture test because your floor is so new.

When I had my shop built 15 years ago the concrete guys worked the slab too early and created a soft top layer and drying fracture/cracks. I contacted the guy at Epoxy.com and he set me up with specific epoxy types for the different issues. To this day my floor has held up fantastic with no flaking or cracks.

If you truly want a "Garage Mahal", one of the GMC CASCADERS that lives in
Kelowna, B.C. does shop interiors that defy all reason and common sense.
His name is Dan Borlase.

Porcelain tile, often seen in automotive dealerships, is an awesome and durable surface. It also looks incredible. Going on box store clearance prices can make it less than $1 a sq ft.

Michael
Would you mind putting some info on yourself in a sig file attached to your
email. The GMC you have and where you are located will do but anything more
is helpful..like options on thee GMC. Have you signed up on the Black List?
Thanks

Eighteen years ago when we moved into our new home it was recommended to me
to what was referred to as a concrete stain.
That is exactly what it does. Dirt from the tires, road grim will stain the
coating. Spill a little bit of gasoline and the coating bubbles and
dissolves leaving bare concrete. It was a Sherwin Williams product applied
by an employee.

I also had a friend of mine use clear Thompson Weather Seal on his concrete
floor in his wood shop and it protected the concrete very well.

Not addressed to me but I am curious -
Is there a setting on the GMC list that appends a signature to my
postings or is this referring to the signature lines that are attached
by my email client?
I ask because I am on several email lists and user groups and some
groups allow personalization as a list function. I didn't see that
option on this list's configuration page.
Different lists are interested in different things - one signature
doesn't fit all, and could lead to embarrassment. :>

You are on Gmail. Gmail has a command that allows for saving and recalling
strings.
You could save several signatures and recall the one you want.

That is the same price I was quoted last week to replace my concrete
driveway.
The best coating I have seen/felt is in Evergreen Aviation Museum
.* I
would like to know what they used. I may be more than $8/sq ft. Getting
cheap porcelain tile is a very labor intensive solution.*

I did an epoxy base coat / 2 part urethane top coat to my shop 10 or so years ago and it's been great. Brakleen and even MEK spills wipe right up without the coating going with it. Key here is the 2 part urethane top coat. It impervious to a lot of chemicals that will destroy other paints, including epoxy. Since then I've used the same system on a second workshop and 2 garages with the same result
If you're looking for a showroom finish, the system could also include a high build intermediate coat that could be floated on, but for a shop/ garage I did not feel it was worth it as it doubled the cost. I ended up adding a second base coat instead as a compromise.
Some tips if you do the install yourself, are to watch your re-coat windows if you go with a multi step process... too early or too late can really cause issues... A notched squeegee on a stick is also useful to distribute the paint prior to rolling. Also, a proper etch is important if you want it to stick to the concrete. Depending on the condition of your concrete, another option is to rent a floor buffer with a scotch brite type pad. Makes short work of prepping a large floor.

Lunch group in Sacramento would be great.
I am really new at this. I think I am on my second tank of gas.
Right now I have replaced a leaking wheel cylinder. I need to get the brake
shoes on and repack the rear wheel bearings.
