What is Epoxy Floor Paint?

Epoxy floor paint is a two-part coating system made from resin and hardener that chemically hardens into concrete, creating a durable, high-gloss protective layer. Unlike regular paint that air dries and sits on the surface, epoxy paint penetrates into concrete pores and forms a molecular bond becoming part of the concrete. ArmorGarage's 100% military grade solids epoxy floor paint contains zero water or solvents – just pure epoxy resin – making it up to 10 times thicker and more durable than standard epoxy paints found in stores.

Application Methods

• Direct to concrete: Apply with notched squeegee and roller
• Pitted floors or grout lines: Use flat squeegee to fill imperfections

This is a tough and durable floor coating ideal for anywhere you need to:

• Protect floors from ugly stains of any kind
• Prevent wearing from high-volume repetitive traffic
• Stop pitting from chemicals and road salts
• Reduce cleaning and maintenance with non-stick surface
• Brighten areas with high-gloss light-reflective finish

Enhanced Protection with Topcoats

For extra durability and protection, we recommend using one of our optional Urethane Epoxy Topcoats:

• Military Grade Clear Topcoat (4mg abrasion rating) – Incredibly low abrasion loss, chemically hardened finish. Can be used over any ArmorGarage epoxy. Required when using color flakes in your epoxy layer.
• Two-Part Color Topcoat (8mg abrasion rating) – Perfect for extra color coverage when traffic and wear loads are moderate.

Topcoats add extra UV protection, impact resistance, scratch and wear resistance, plus non-slip grip when using non-slip additive. The lower the abrasion rating the better.

Surface Preparation

• Concrete: Must be acid etched or diamond ground to provide the proper profile for the epoxy to stick to
• Tiles and wood: Must be primed with our Epoxy Bonding Primer first

Application Process

Pot Life: About 30 minutes per batch – more than enough time to apply one gallon.

• Pour mixed epoxy onto floor in a bead from left to right
• Use notched squeegee to spread out
• Back-roll with 1/4" or 3/8" lint-free roller for final spreading
• Optimal spread rate: About 170-185 SF per gallon depending on surface prorosity and texture

Filling Grout Lines or Pits

• Use flat squeegee for first coat for filling, leaving minimal material on the surface
• Use notched squeegee & roller method for second coat
• Important: Order double the quantity of epoxy when filling grout lines or pits

Curing & Timing

• Cure time: 12-14 hours (depending on temperature and humidity)
• If topcoating: Do not let more than 24 hours pass, or you'll need to lightly sand
• If using primer: Allow primer to dry completely (5-6 hours, no fingerprint when pressed)
