    Garage Rebuild Part 7: Epoxy Floor Coating (DIY How to)

    In this video, I show you how I installed an epoxy flake floor coating in my garage. I purchased professional grade products: 100% solids Epoxy base coat, 25lbs of vinyl flakes, and a polyaspartic polyurea clear top coat. I was able to achieve a great outcome even with little experience by doing good preparation. Speaking of prep., I go into great detail how to do a proper muriatic acid etching for my concrete surface so the epoxy has a good substrate for maximum binding.
