In reply to oliver. Hi Oliver. These images are posted to give people ideas. We don't have pricing assigned since some are done DIY and others are done professionally. Prices vary from year to year as well.

No one says how much cost. Is this work free?

In reply to Linda Pepin. Hi Linda. No, etching should be all that is required. Because RockSolid is a thin coating, just be prepared for the possibility of having to apply a second color coat.

Thanks for all the great info. We are about to build our forever home in Florida and are planning on coating our new 3 car garage just after we close on the house. Since this is new construction will we need to do anything to the garage floor besides etch it before applying the Rocksolid? We would like to do this before we move anything into the house. Thanks so much for your informative web site. I’ve learned quite a bit.

In reply to Rick. Hello Rick. 2-part epoxy coatings are not oil based. If you are using Rust-Oleum Professional EpoxyShield, then you would be applying a solvent-based epoxy coating. The Supercoat polyurethane would need to be applied within 12-24 hours of the EpoxyShield. Once you can press a thumb to the coating without leaving a print it will be ready for the clear coat. However, we would not recommend Supercoat 550 if it's for a garage floor. Water-based polyurethanes are not very resistant to black tire marks and hard to remove. A solvent-based polyurethane would be a better choice for a garage environment.

Is it OK to use a water based Urethane (Supercoat550) as a topcoat over an oil based, high solids epoxy (Rustoleum Professional)?
Should it be applied when the epoxy is no longer tacky?
