Default Re: Ideas to protect a new cement floor

Dean,

I used the epoxy floor paint (minus the sprinkles) on mine. Nothing auto related stains it. Only stains I have are from centipedes that crawled in and died and their internal juices leave a stain, but you can sand it out and repaint.

You can drag a floor jack across it, no damage. since the epoxy is so smooth and pore-free, I use a commercial grade dry mop, like the grocery stores use, for routine dust pickup. Works great! in the summer, I can work in the shop in bare feet and stay cool.

Don't be afraid to put it on thick. Since it is a 2-part epoxy, it will still set up just fine. Places where I put it down thick have held up perfectly, while some of the thin spots don't allow me to sand out damage from dropped sharp tools without reapplying some paint.

If your Model A drips on the floor, it wipes right off with a rag or paper towel and leaves no stain. In the photo, you can see where I dry mopped before parking the car and where I didn't.
