Just had my garage painted and floor grind/ epoxied.

Before:





After:





Contractor worked last week when temps and humidity were brutal. Thankfully today was cooler and he was able to finish it.

Now I have to get some new shelves and put all my poo poo back in. Going to hopefully purge a lot of it so it doesn't look like a storage locker with 2 cars jammed in.

My contractor that did my garage floor used this,

H&C Colortop solvent based solid color concrete sealer. (sold by sherwin williams)

https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/products/hc-colortop-solventbased-solid-color-concrete-sealer

He swears by this. So far, 2 months in, no complaints. This is the "good stuff" because its not water based. Definitely need to be used in a well ventilated area when applying. It's tintable to pretty much any color.

for prep, he used a concrete grinder first, then acid etched the floor. washed it down, let it dry, then applied 3 coats of this. floor looks great, so far no damage from my cars tires.

Pro tip, don't use a light color for your garage floor. Looks great when clean and easy to see when you drop a bolt or screw, but shows dirt ridiculously easy.
