I put epoxy down on my garage floor last night. Anybody that has a garage seriously needs to do this. Night and Day difference. Pics here:

The stuff I used is by Quikrete and is a complete kit. Each kit will do a 1 car garage and cost $62 so I had to buy two. Everything total cost me just under $200. Here is the stuff I used:



And here is the guide for which product to use for what type of surface. You would use the same one I did for a carport:

Sorry, I don't have any pics of what the tan looks like, just the grey that I did in the first post. Good luck

I used that stuff on a "rental" property of mine. Looked great but it is all comming up depite the fact that we followed the directions. Not sure what happened.

I painted my garage floor at my hoouse about 10 years ago and it needs it again. I think I might just use paint because I am afraid the epoxy won't stick to the old paint. I used a paint designed for cement.
