Review on Rust-Oleum 293515 Rocksolid Polycuramine Garage Floor Coating, 2.5 Car Kit, Tan by David Ocampo

The mfr’s of all these DIY kits want the instructions to seem easy and not too expensive so they tell you that you don’t need to rent a floor grinder and you don’t need to use primer. False! EVERY pro grinds their floors and uses primer (Rustoleum Concrete & Garage Recoat Primer in this case) because you HAVE TO no matter what the DIY kits say. I spent a little extra to do my garage floor the right way (grinding, priming, and using 5-minute epoxy to fill cracks) and my floor turned out fantastic. It still scratches a little easier than I expected (it’s a coating, not a miracle) but everyone who sees it raves about how good my floor looks. Another tip; buy the micro flakes and spread it from a can with holes drilled in the end like a big pepper shaker. This gives you excellent control to get a VERY even distribution. Spike shoe platforms (cheap here on ebay) are a must unless you don’t use any flakes at all. You WILL need at least 50% more product than claimed. I applied at DOUBLE the recommended amount and I wouldn’t do any floor differently - a heavier coating is better (and, yes, twice as expensive). I did NOT use anti-slip additive and I’m glad I didn’t - the floor looks and feels and cleans better without it and the micro flakes add enough texture on their own.
