Getting ready to finish my new shop floor before it gets cold on me again. I researched all the different floor coatings, sealers, tiles, etc. and even got a quote for grinding, polishing and sealing the floor.....$5 per square foot!
After looking at several different epoxies, talking to company reps, and settling on Epoxy-Coat I found out that Lowes sells it. I ordered THREE kits of Epoxy-Coat (500 SF per kit) and they arrived a couple days ago. Lowes price is quite a bit lower than directly from Epoxy-Coat. I got the Taupe basecoat with beige mix flakes and clearcoat. I was going to just do a basecoat color, but my GF insists that I have to do the chips to make it look nicer. So I did.
My purchase must have prompted them to raise the price , because I got it for $430 per kit (plus 10% off since a friend who works there got it for me). It's now listed at $463.50 per kit. I got all 3 kits for $1204 including tax. That's only 80 cents per square foot. I have 1300 square feet to do. The price for the same kit is $506.85 directly from the company.

So now I have to get all the junk out of my way, prep the floor, and put the stuff on. Any tips from those who have done this?
