Epoxy paint is one of the strongest paints on concrete or basement floors, garage floors, workshop floors, showroom floors, laundry room floors and also in bars among other projects. The main reason why these paints are used is their ability to resist oil accumulation, grease and dirt among many other contaminants. It also protects the floors from wear and tear.The process of applying epoxy paint starts with the preparation of your garage floor. Most of the epoxy coating failures i have witnessed are as a result of wrong or little surface preparation. You will first need to clean the floor with a hard bristled brush and and then clear away any debris that will result. You will also need to clean it using some mild acid and then scrub it thoroughly. These is usually referred to as acid etching. These nuwhite is followed by Scrubbing the concrete floor with warm soapy water and clearing it away also. But you may remain with some water soluble contaminants which you may need to remove with the the help of a de-greaser by scrubbing it over the surface, then rinsing it with water. The mild acid does not remove grease and oils from the garage floors. Make sure the rinsing water does not stick to the surface of the floor, if it sticks, then repeat the degreasing process all over. After doing these, the garage floor should then be left overnight to dry. During epoxy paint application, It is important to ensure a consistent application. You should also make sure that the humidity is at the accepted levels to prevent the coating from blistering and discoloring. Two to three coats of the paint are usually adequate.
