Garage Makeover with Rock Solid Floor Paint

Our garage needed some big time attention so I cleared it out and used the RustOleum Rock Solid Garage Floor paint for this makeover. It took quite a few steps but each step was beyond simple and I couldn't be happier with the results. Our garage floor was in bad shape so I needed to do quite a bit of prep work, but actually painting the epoxy paint was the easiest part. It's a great solution for high traffic floors like a garage workshop and I'm thrilled with how it turned out.

It says Rock Solid Floor Paint is Durable, tough coating is 20 times stronger than epoxy. What is the difference between this and Epoxy? Why do people choose Epoxy over floor paint?

DYING to do this now!! Would love a 6 month and 1-year follow-up with how it's holding up. So curious

[lisagiangreco]

I so want to do this! Just have to mentally gear up for it. Thank you for the tutorial! I completely agree, cleaning up utilitarian spaces does so much for the psyche :)

I used this product but failed to prep the floor properly just a power wash. It was a huge failure it lifted almost immediately so if all the steps are followed maybe it is better. Lots of good reviews.

How much did this project cost? It seems less expensive than drylock paint

I used this product almost 10 years ago, and followed the directions to the letter. Didn’t walk on for 48 hours and the vehicles stayed outside for 7 full days. After awhile I noticed the product was lifting because of hot tires. Now I need to strip the coating off the floor by sanding then power washing. This time I will hire someone that does this for a living. Just my experience!

i am so motivated to paint my garage floors now!

[veromosley]

Would you please do a follow-up on how the floor looks now?

When I worked in the Lowe's paint department, I used to explain to people that etching is somewhat similar to bleaching your hair. You have to sort of open up the seal so that you can lay something else over it and have it soak in. Additionally, the etching chemical keeps working until you rinse it off and so washing it off is super important just like leaving bleach on your hair too long.

Thank you, wonderful video!
Planning to do this in our garage. You laid it out so nicely.

As someone who does garage floor coatings for a living. I encourage you all to have a go at using this product. It's made me a lot of money over the years getting to do garage floors that have now delaminated and look worse than when the client started. Or alternatively you could save yourself a bunch of time and money and have it done one time by a professional.. the choice is yours.

Is this paint safe to use inside for a basement as well? (offgas factor/ general appropriateness...) ANd also wow and thank you so much for the incredible detailed tutorial!!

[Jan.]

Very well done, you're smart - adding chips looks so cool and added value to your project!

[Donttouchthisaccount]

What are the materials needed? So clean, patch, degrease? What kind of paint did you use for the floors? Did you use a sealant?
