Rust-Oleum 251965 EPOXYSHIELD Garage Floor Coating Kit, 1 Car, Gloss Gray

I used the Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield Kit for my one-car garage, and I was honestly impressed with the results. The kit is rated for 200–250 sq ft, and I was able to cover 225 sq ft with solid coverage. Pros: • Looks fantastic – clean, glossy, and professional finish • Easy to apply – very manageable DIY project if you follow directions • Durable – provides great protection for the concrete floor Cons: • The kit only comes with 1 lb of decorative flakes, which is not enough if you want that high-end “full broadcast” look What I did differently (highly recommend): I purchased an additional 13 lbs of flakes, which made a huge difference and gave it that near full-flake, showroom-quality finish. Pro Tips: • Prep is everything: use a degreaser + etching solution, then let the floor dry completely • Don’t rush the process—good prep = long-lasting results • Add a clear topcoat + anti-slip additive (sold separately) for a more professional, durable, and safer finish Overall, this kit is an excellent value and delivers great results. With a little extra investment in flakes and topcoat, you can achieve a finish that rivals professional installations.

EASY TO USE: I applied it to my garage floor and looks great. I had a 4year old coat of floor acrylic paint with bald spots and cement cracks. I brushed as much old paint as possible, power washed the garage, and left it to dry, the next day fixed the cracks with wet cement filler and left it to dry again. The instructions ask for application of a coat of primer (if you had an old paint coat), but I went ahead and applied the paint directly with a roller and brush. 1hr to apply carefully. I followed the instructions of no use for 24 hrs, then light foot use only, and only after 72 hrs cars. SIZE: My garage is a 2-car garage, and I just had a little paint left but definitely does not look enough for a slightly larger garage. If I had applied the primer then the paint would have covered more surface. DURABILITY: It looks great and after 30 days no issues. I cannot judge durability yet.

We just bought a new house and the garage looked dirty and gloomy. My brother-in-law used the gray color on HIS new garage, and I thought it looked pretty classy! I never had a garage before, and didn't think I'd use it for much. Maybe to park in, and keep the garbage cans, some storage shelves, and a chest freezer. I decided to to upgrade the space with this Rustoleum product for several reasons... Mainly because it looks pretty great, but also because I'm hoping it will be easier to KEEP clean. Spills will be easier to wipe up, and not leave any stains, and the concrete should start in fantastic condition for the life of the house, I hope! The whole process wasn't too difficult. I swept everything really good, then scrubbed it with the cleaning stuff. I pressure washed it clean, and chased the water out with a squeegee. After it dried, painting was pretty fun, with a can for each side of the garage, and all the edges. I was amazed how each can was exactly the right amount with hardly any leftover. I wasn't going to add the sprinkles, but someone mentioned that it helped camouflage any cracks or defects in the concrete, and that definitely was the case, so I'm pleased. A tip I found useful was to take an old bottle of spices with bigger holes and use that to shake the sprinkles around in the paint. I used an old bottle of red pepper flakes, and that helped the sprinkles come out nice and evenly. Everyone agreed that using the sprinkles was the right choice.

Good product used a couple times now. It's all in the prep (most time consuming) for this product. Ideally you have a pressure washer and some arm grease for cleaning and etching the floor. Goes on easy and looks great. Make sure your epoxy bag isn't shipped to you with one side of the pouch hard. This means it's already gone off and you will need a refund and reorder. Take your time and enjoy the ride. To really make the floor professional, add the Rust-Oleum clear epoxy topcoat and use the anti slip packet (separate purchases). This makes it way stronger, no slip, and gives it that showroom Sheen. It also helps when you throw the color flakes to say BAM in an Emeril voiceover. Have fun...

I've installed SIX epoxy garage floors in my day, all but the last one using pro-grade 2-part epoxies, color and chips. They all have held up extremely well over the past 16 years. I decided to use the rustoleum product on a 2-car garage in a rental place we bought last year. WHAT A MISTAKE. I acid etched the bare floor THREE times (from experience, 2 times is needed at least). I let the etching dry 2 days in high-altitude arid climate at 70F and did a moisture check. I rolled the epoxy on, sprinkled the chips and even applied a DOUBLE clear top coat layer. Look at the photos, its a DISASTER and a waste if money. The epoxy DOES NOT ADHERE like pro-grade epoxies. It bubbles, pillows, and easily tears from the concrete surface. If you think you are saving money by buying this kit, you aren't. Now I have to sand off (scarify) the crappy Rustoleum product and reapply a superior product. Waste of my time and money. Do yourself a favor and spend the little extra to get a pro-grade product and do it once, the right way.

Easy instructions and I looked up how to prepare the floor, since mine was previously painted. So fingers crossed this holds up. But it was easy to apply and put down the paint chips. I was able to do small sections at a time no problem and completed my 2 car garage floor . This brand was also recommended to hold up to humidity and heat which is what I needed.

My husband and I love to ride and we wanted to build out our dream motorcycle garage for all our bikes and toys. I surprised my hubbie by taking on this floor project and it came out way better then I even imagined. I’ll say this PREP WORK PREP WORK PREP WORK! It took me a few weekends to finish because of all the prep work but it’s super important if you want a professional looking finish. It stinks that the prep items DO NOT come in this kit. I had to purchase separately the moisture stop which was super important and additional cleaner to throughly clean the old garage floor with. Once I cleaned and etched the floor I let that dry out a weekend. The following weekend I filled the cracks. Next weekend added moisture stop and let that sit for the weekend. Finial step was laying the epoxy and decorative chips. I then added the lighter grey boxed out area just to add some more design and dimension. Overall amazing product. It legit looks like a pro job and was fairly simple to do. It was a-lot of cleaning and prepping but in my opinion WELL worth all the work for this finished look. I’m obsessed and can’t wait to add shelving and the rest of our motorcycles and helmets!! I added before and after photos. Buy and do it! You won’t regret it.

I bought this because of my history of satisfaction with Rust-Oleum products. IMHO: this one failed! The product was "lumpy" and required the use of an electric stirrer and screening ... While I have high hopes that the product will hold up as advertised .... I am concerned that this may also be a failure!

初めてのDIYでこのレベルはすごい！ 施工性が抜群です！ 工程 ①付属の洗浄剤で洗浄 ②同メーカーのシーラーロックダウン塗布 ③本製品一度塗り ④乾燥72時間で完成 72時間で硬化もバッチリでした。早速物を搬入しました。効果に期待したいです。 他のレビューでもあった通り、塗料結構余ります。当方15m2の塗り床でしたが、製品の1/4は余りました。 レビューを見てたので、結構厚めに塗ったつもりでもこれだけ余ります。 ショートケーキのスポンジにメレンゲを塗るくらいの勢いでもっと大量に使っても良かったと思います。 厚めに塗ったお陰でムラも少なく、良い仕上がりになりました。 チップは全部使い切ろうと思って撒きましたが、これも結構量がありましたが、ピッタリ全てのチップを使い切りました。そこまで柄が欲しくない人はもっと少なめの半分とかでも良いと思います。

used 10 pack of this to paint the floor of our warehouse. it worked awesome. show room quality finish be sure to use clear coat finish with anti skid additive

Not used so far so can not comment but packing& looks are impressive

I was concerned that the volume of ipoxy paint, once mixed together, would not cover my entire 21m2 (226 square foot) garage and that is exactly what happened! There is an area of approximately 10m2 (108 square foot) that needs additional ipoxy paint to cover the floor evenly and fill all the little uneven areas. Very disappointed that I will now most likely need to buy another kit to finish this job... 😡

日本語の取り扱い説明書があれば良かったです‼️
