Garage Floor Finish

[MarPar]

You guys are fancy, I piss in a bucket in my shop.

I at least go out behind the garage. Sheesh.

My garage floor was pretty trashed, epoxy wasn’t a good option because I didn’t want my vehicles, tools and stuff sitting unattended in the driveway for a week. I settled on Racedeck flooring and it’s worked out okay, installation took only a few hours. Good looking, easy to clean and it’s held up better than expected. I used slotted drain tiles where the wife parks so it doesn’t get slippery when rain or snow drips off her car. I remove that section in the spring to clean out the accumulated dirt and pressure wash the flooring in the driveway.

Not for everyone, but it works for me…

I also used racedeck. Doesn't work well in my little 20X20 garage. The main door faces due south. On sunny days the first few rows actually buckle up. Complained to the manufacturer and they sent some of the open tiles which were supposed to take care of the issue. It did help but I am probably going to tear it all out and have the floor coated.

None of the finishes last go with micro polishing with diamond discs and enjoy!

Well, not to brag but since I'm a pillar of the community and a man of great stature I have my very own piss bucket

Thanks guys!
I went with a slightly rougher concrete finish. Gives me options on what to do with the floor now.

Still working that out but I'll relay what I decide to go with!

I bought some epoxy floor paint from my local paint store.

My floor was a couple years old. The concrete had fiber reinforcement and the surface still had little hairs sticking up thru the surface so I rented a orbital floor sander and sanded off those hairs.

Took an hour or so to sand. I blew off the surface with compressed air and fired up the paint roller.

Still looks good after 30+ years.
