Re: Ordered Garage Floor Paint... (archive)

I used the Griot's gray nearly 5 years ago now, when I moved into a new house. I used the acid prep/ammonia neutralizer, and put it down per their instructions. I've had small patches of peel (1-2") near the edge, where I was running out and tried to stretch it. Tires haven't lifted it; and mud & salt from WI winters scrubs right off. IMHO, it's great. Think about the crystals if you're planning on getting it wet, mine's slick as hell when it's wet.

.... from Griot's Garage yesterday. Has anyone used it? Griot's faxed me a 5-page installation manual before I bought. Not a simple process. I ordered 4 gallons at ~$55/gallon. Light Gray. Hard to believe 1 gallon only covers 130 sq. feet with 2 coats.

I assume muriatic acid will kill all plant life it touches, yes?

Obviously this is a do it once, do it right, and don't do it again job. The plan is to get the 2 required coats down before I leave for HC so the floor has about 17 days to cure before The Car arrives.

Next steps: dedicated circuit breaker for garage accessories and 1200 watts of flourscent lighting.
