We finished this La Cañada Flintridge garage, a two-car space, in 8 hours from start to finish, putting down a polyaspartic base, Outback flakes and a polyaspartic seal coat over the floor and up the stem walls.
Before we started, the floor was plain gray concrete with stains, tire marks and saw-cut control joints running across it. We diamond ground the whole slab first, which opens up the surface so the polyaspartic base bonds to the concrete instead of sitting on top of it.
With the base coat down, Outback flakes were broadcast across the wet coating until the floor was fully covered. A clear polyaspartic seal coat then went over the top to lock them in. We carried the same system a few inches up the stem walls along both sides and the back, so the edges of the room are coated as well as the floor.
Outback is a warm tan and brown blend with lighter chips mixed in, shown as FB-517 on our epoxy color chart. A broadcast flake floor in a mid-tone like this hides dust, dried water spots and light tire marks between cleanings, which helps on a floor that cars drive in and out over.
Because the top coat is polyaspartic, oil drips and road grime stay on the surface where a mop can reach them, rather than soaking into the concrete. For more garages we have coated in the area, see our Flintridge garage floor page.
Let us know roughly how big the garage is, whether the stem walls should be coated too, and whether the concrete is bare or has an old coating on it. That tells us how the slab needs to be prepared before we visit.
