Let’s go Rust-Oleum: Epoxy-Shell 550 primer, Epoxy-Shell 1000 flake coat, Poly-Shell 8000 topcoat.
What happens here
Begin by spreading a liquid epoxy base coat evenly across the clean garage floor. Use a wide floor squeegee to distribute the epoxy, working in sections to ensure thorough coverage. Throughout this step, wear special spiked shoes (also known as aerator shoes) to allow walking on the wet epoxy without disturbing the application or leaving footprints.
Goal: Cover the garage floor with an even layer of epoxy base coat
