If I remember the name of it, I'll let you know, Tommy, but we did all of the Valvoline's in the area with a specific brand of epoxy... Went down easy and has held up for a decade (plus some) that I know about.

Actually there's a thread on that forum about Rhino Lining entering the floor covering market.

My husband was the co-founder of this company Ironclad Coatings and although he no longer is part of it, here's what I learned while helping with the startup and (lucky me) getting to help apply the coatings.

1. Acid etch isn't good enough. surface prep Rent a grinder from Home Depot to prep the floor. They did "test floors" for people and used both methods and the grinder was found to be a way better option.

2. Sherwin Williams "General Polymers" is what they found to be pretty much the best product, after tons of trials and research. General Polymers

3. If you don't want the floor to be slippery, do add chips to the epoxy, and then clear coat over the chips to preserve the integrity.

4. When you're applying the epoxy and the chips, make sure you do so in VERY small areas at a time. You also want to make sure to pay close attention to where you last rolled to make sure you don't overlap.

5. Scatter the chips lightly at first and add more as wanted/needed.

6. Most epoxy you can walk on the next day, BUT, that doesn't mean you can drive on it, or put heavy objects on it. A lot of people confuse those. Somehow. Unless you buy a specific "drive on the next day" product, don't do it.

Its not the most fun thing I've done in life, but was also not that horrible. Make sure you have enough time to devote to it. I wish I had pictures of our (former) garage floor, but I can't find them. But the one's on the site are pretty much all the husband's work.

Thanks...after going through a divorce I was in a condo and then a townhouse both without a garage and was going through withdrawals.

I wish it was a 3 car but at least it's a large 2 - 2 1/2 with quite a bit of storage.

Yeah NC is a pretty decent state. I'm about 25 miles north of Charlotte.

We have decent weather most of the time with the mountains not too far and the beach not too far. The local lake here has about 520 miles of shoreline so it's pretty cool too.
