hey northbase what is the best floor coverage to buy. paint expoxy ect.. any ideas
I've got epoxy floor paint in my shop. It's marginal, at best.
Additional coats may make it better but I think it's a waste of time and effort to keep recoating it.
The only coating I've seen that works and lasts is a true solvent based 2 part epoxy, multi coat system. This system consists of a base/primer coat, a colour/texture coat and then 2 coats of clear. The stuff is super tough, not suitable for the DIY crowd (breathing apparatus is a must) and looks AWESOME. Typical application takes about 5-7 days and then should be left for a few days to fully cure.
I only know of one outfit that I'd get to do it. He's based out of bracebridge. If you want his name and number let me know and I'll dig it up for ya.
Mark, X2 on what Northbase is saying about floor coating. We use it a lot here at work and the retail/commercial epoxies don't last. We have a product here by 3M that we have had in testing for 9 years with no visible breakdown. And, this is with daily heavy equipment abuse!! Multiple colours and traction agents available. But, just like NB said, it's not cheap. I also have a contact if you want it.
Love the shop, Dude. Seen it in person and it's great!!
