Well, after a four day event (prep, bond coat, final coat, finish coat) I finially got my garage floor coated using the UCoat-It system. Some of my more serious cracks in the slab didn't conceal as completely as I had hoped but with you really have to look close to see them. I'll let you know in a few months how it is holding up.

Well Done Rich!
Doesn't the floor look a little bare? Is it not asking for a hydraulic.....:mrgreen:

Rich...
Great to see..know you wanted to do this big time. Now you know what is next... weighs about 2000 lbs and has four legs :dancing
Make sure you use the clear plastic sheets under your tires for as long as you can...more cure time better the job.
For the question of durability of the UCoatIt system...
I did the install about 5 years ago and here is condition overview>>

Thanks Michael, Yeah...Yeah..one thing at a time. Now I need to get a utility shed so I don't have to put back all the crap I removed from the garage to get I looking this empty :-D
Plastic under the tires.....that a good suggestion, I didn't think of doing that. I put the clear coat on a bit thicker that yours, so hopefully it will fair better.

That is from the heat in the tires. Always try and park the car outside for a bit and let them cool off.
I just helped a neighbor do his three car garage, lot of work, but fairly easy.
