In reply to 110. DO NOT Acid etch the concrete for Rust Bullet. They do not recommend it and may cause the product to fail. Now I have to sand my concrete that was just acid etched.

In reply to Vic. Hi Vic. What is your goal for a coating? Are you worried mainly about hot pick tire pickup? Is a simple semi-metallic color that gets the job done what you want or do you want something more decorative with flakes and a clear coat?

Hey guys thanks for all the info here on your site. Do you still recommend this product or is there other products you would recommend (budget friendly)? This would be for a residential garage in Las Vegas (hot tires).

Thanks

In reply to 110. Yes, that is correct. If the concrete has been machine troweled smooth then you will need to to that.

Speaking with Rust Bullet, you still have to profile concrete if it’s smooth to get adhesion. Acid etching or 150 grit sand paper is what they recommended to “Profile” the surface.

In reply to Corey Kruse. Hi Corey. Yes, the correct sized anti-slip granules can work very well for those applications. Just keep in mind that it will reduce the gloss in the coating. You want to add it to the final coat, whether it be the standard Rust Bullet color or the Rust Bullet clear. We suggest contacting Garage Flooring LLC to discuss which size anti-slip media would be best for your application. They have a lot of experience with Rust Bullet and can tell you what to expect.
