The 93 got a new garage floor to sit on!

I contacted a local epoxy contractor and gave him a challenge... I told him I wanted an epoxy floor that would look like WATER!  We brainstormed a bit and he did some research and came up with a plan... He used a floor grinder to grind the new slab. This helps with adhesion. Next was filling blemishes and cracks followed by a jet-black primer. The primer was sanded once cured and then the artist came alive in Paul (my contractor)... He used blue metallic epoxy and a little bit of silver metallic that he created random patterns in by using a squeegee, a roller and a leaf blower. This was allowed to cure for many days followed by another round of sanding and then a clear polyurethane top coat.


I got home yesterday and got the cars back in the garage... I filmed this video with my iPad using iMovie today:

If anyone in the DFW area needs a good epoxy floor guy at a reasonable price, contact Paul at:

I set up my GoPro on time lapse when the guys were doing the color base-coat:

Very nice floor. Although with that background music on your video, I expected Moses to show up and part the Red Sea.

Thanks guys!

If anyone hasn't played with iMovie for iPad, it's a good download. My kids turned me onto it. I filmed the whole video and did all the editing right on my iPad. It's quite the nice little app.

I never discuss prices, but I'll say it wasn't cheap. Having said that, you get what you pay for. I dig it.

Ya, that's why I asked per square foot and not the end price. ;)

Whose product did they use?

Canada, eh? Thanks.

Looks to be only a handful of distributors in the US.
