What happens here

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the garage floor. This includes pressure washing the entire surface to remove dirt, grease, and any other contaminants. The speaker mentions that the Citadel system often negates the need for acid etching or grinding if using their primer, simplifying the preparation process. Ensure the floor is completely dry before proceeding.

Goal: Clean and apply the initial primer coat to the garage floor.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Roller with Extension Pole — Applying the primer evenly across the floor
  • Paint Tray — Holding the primer for roller application
  • Pressure Washer — Cleaning the garage floor
  • Protective Gloves Milwaukee — Protecting hands from chemicals

What they say

Hide

thing we primed the floor with EP55, which is the primer coating that we put down first. Then we threw our first flake coat and we used the PLE 100 FC. It's a Fast Gear epoxy that we threw our first flake coat on. Then we came back, top coated that with UL80 Poly aspartic. Threw our next flake coat on top of that. And then we're going to be going over the top of that with our final uh finish coat, Poly1 HD UDP, which is a performance top coat that resists hot tire pickup and scratching. All right, so I'm going to talk about a little bit about the system that we're using. So we're using Citadel's flooring system and I'll talk about the products that we've applied and we're still we're not 100% done, but I'm going to talk a little bit about, you know, those products. So the first product we applied was a primer. So we came in, pressure wash, clean the floor. We primed it with EP55. So that's a primer kind of a system you can use, you know, instead of acid etching, grinding and stuff. So it it works extremely well.
