Doing a DIY epoxy floor on your garage concrete surface can certainly enhance protection for the surface while adding an appeal to it as well. Here are some simple guidelines on how to apply an epoxy coating on your garage floor surface.

Prepare the Floor

Start by ensuring you have a clear area where all items have been removed from the area. Protect the surrounding wall edges and door thresholds with masking tape and prep paper. Depending on the epoxy coating system being installed, and the current state of your garage floor surface, the proper surface preparation method could vary. All surface prep instructions will be included and provided by the manufacturer of the epoxy coating product. Follow these instructions carefully. These methods can range anywhere from a light washing/degreasing, muriatic acid wash, or even a mechanical abrasion technique like sanding or shot blasting to remove old surface coatings etc. The surface must be free of any unwanted “bond breaking” material, and should be clean and dry. This would be a good time to do a moisture test as well to ensure there is no trapped moisture in the concrete slab. A definite bond breaker!
