Garage Floor Epoxy Kits

Garage Floor Epoxy Systems Built for Real-World Use

Garage floor epoxy is a multi-layer protective coating system engineered to permanently bond to concrete, creating a seamless chemically hardened surface that protects against moisture, road salts, vehicle fluids, hot tires, impacts, and daily garage traffic. Unlike standard paints or thin DIY sealers.

ArmorGarage manufactures epoxy for garage floors that are engineered as true once-and-done coating systems.

Whether your garage is used for daily vehicles, oversized trucks and rubber tracked vehicles, high-performance cars with extreme tire heat, or as a full workshop environment, each system can be customized with options to match specific traffic loads and use conditions.

Primer and military-grade topcoat options are available for when additional strength and durability are needed.

Our DIY-friendly garage epoxy systems are supplied as complete turnkey packages and are available in four configurations: Armor Chip (approximately 75% flake coverage), Armor Granite (approximately 90–95% flake coverage), a two-layer solid color system for clean, high-visibility floors, and our Metallic Epoxy system for a one-of-a-kind, marble-style finish.

All ArmorGarage garage epoxy coatings are made in the USA and designed for straightforward installation by first-time users. When properly installed, these systems can protect concrete from tire abrasion, vehicle fluids, road salts, staining, and impact damage for 15+ years or more under typical garage use. See real-world Case Studies for proof.

Every garage floor epoxy kit ships free and includes everything you need in sufficient quantities — eliminating guesswork so you get it right the first time.

ArmorGarage garage epoxy systems use true 100% military-grade solids — not diluted fake 100% solids, imported, or water-based formulas often marketed as “high solids” by competing brands.

Types of Garage Floor Epoxy Systems

Garage floor epoxy is not a single product. It refers to a range of multi-layer concrete coating systems engineered for different garage conditions, traffic levels, and appearance goals. Selecting the correct epoxy system is the single biggest factor in how long your floor maintains its gloss, resists staining, and avoids premature wear or peeling.

Solid Color Epoxy Garage Floors

Solid color epoxy systems create a clean, uniform finish and are commonly used in garages, workshops, and service areas where visibility of small parts and simple cleaning are important. Long-term performance depends on coating thickness, adhesion, and the abrasion resistance of the protective topcoat.

Decorative Flake Epoxy Floors

Flake epoxy systems incorporate decorative color flakes broadcast into the epoxy layer hide surface imperfections, and create a stone- or granite-style appearance. Coverage levels range from partial to a high 95% coverage system, depending on the kit design and desired finish.

Metallic Epoxy Garage Floors

Metallic epoxy systems use specialized pigments to create a three-dimensional, marbled effect with no two floors alike. These systems are built as multi-layer installations and protected with a clear, high-performance topcoat to preserve both appearance and durability.

Heavy-Duty & Military-Grade Epoxy Systems

Heavy-duty epoxy systems are engineered for extreme garage use — oversized vehicles, high tire heat, road salts, chemical exposure, and workshop abuse. These coatings prioritize abrasion resistance, chemical protection, and long-term structural integrity over generic “all-purpose” formulas.

Understanding the differences between epoxy system types allows you to choose the right coating for your garage once — instead of grinding off a failed floor and starting over.

ArmorGarage epoxy floor systems overview

Armor Granite Epoxy Garage Floor Kit

Armor Granite is our top-of-the-line garage floor kit. It features an extra-thick epoxy base, 18 lbs of decorative flakes for 90–95% coverage, and four layers of topcoat for a deep-luster, high-gloss finish that looks like real granite and is built to last.

The floor shown is Pattern One in Light Gray epoxy with black and white flakes — a very popular combination.

We strongly recommend this system over a full-broadcast floor for first-time users. Full broadcast applications can be tricky with pitfalls that often lead to disappointment if you haven’t done this before.

Armor Granite is designed so that first-time users can achieve a real granite-look epoxy floor without the headaches of full broadcast. It looks better, installs easier, and saves time and is much less expensive than full broadcast.

Solid Color Garage & Shop Epoxy Floors

ArmorGarage II is our commercial-grade solid color epoxy floor system. It consists of our proprietary high-performance primer and an ultra-durable protective topcoat in the same color with no flakes.

We supply a high-tech non-slip additive made from micro-tubular aluminum, not generic grit. These micro tubes act like mini rebars in the coating and improve long-term wear resistance.

This system is perfect if you do not want a flake floor and/or if you work in your garage or shop where seeing small parts on a solid color surface is important.

Metallic Garage Floor Epoxy

ArmorGarage Metallic Epoxy gives you an exotic, 3D-like swirling marble finish that works in almost any application.

Each metallic epoxy floor is three layers thick: a black primer for depth, a 100% military grade high-build epoxy, and a military-grade clear topcoat designed for long-term gloss retention.

This means you can use this system in a home garage, high-end business, or industrial space — it’s built to last.

Transform Your Garage Floor with a Proper Epoxy System

Even severely stained, salt-damaged concrete can be transformed into a showroom-quality epoxy floor when the surface is prepared correctly and the coating system is matched to the environment.

Alan T. in Denver started with years of road salt damage and oil staining. With proper surface preparation and a true high-build epoxy flooring system, his garage floor achieved a professional-grade finish on the first installation — despite it being his first epoxy project.

The difference wasn’t prior experience or luck. It was using the correct multi-layer epoxy system instead of a thin, retail-grade coating.

Garage Floor Epoxy Transformation — Finished Result

After proper surface profiling, our high-build epoxy basecoat with decorative color flakes, and a high-abrasion-resistant clear topcoat, the floor was transformed into a durable, seamless surface with long-term protection against wear, staining, and hot-tire stress with the Armor Chip kit.

Control joints were intentionally left unfilled — a recommended approach for most residential garages — which preserves slab movement while adding visual definition similar to large-format stone or granite panels.

The finished floor demonstrates what’s easily achievable, even for first-time installers with floors in poor condition.

Large-Format Epoxy Flooring Proven in Real Work Environments

This video shows a real-world installation at Dynamic Race Works, where a 20,000 square foot high-performance epoxy floor was installed in-house over a single extended weekend.

The installation was completed by company employees — not professional flooring contractors — demonstrating how a properly engineered epoxy flooring system can be installed efficiently when the materials, application tools, and instructions are designed and packaged correctly.

The floor uses the ArmorGarage Large-Format 3-Layer Military-Industrial Epoxy System , engineered to withstand hot tire abrasion, rolling tools & equipment, chemical exposure, and continuous use while maintaining a high-gloss, professional finish.

The same system engineering principles apply to smaller garages, workshops, pole barns, service bays, and other high-load concrete floors where durability and long-term appearance matter.

Three Common Garage Epoxy Floor Failures — and How to Avoid Them

Before choosing a garage epoxy kit, it helps to understand the most common outcomes we see in real garages. Nearly all epoxy floors fall into one of these three categories:

1. Floors That Fade and Dull Too Quickly
Thin coatings or weak topcoats can’t handle tire abrasion and daily garage use. Gloss fades, swirl marks appear, and recoating is needed far sooner than expected.

2. Floors That Peel from Hot-Tire Lift
This typically happens when surface prep is poor or the coating isn’t designed for garages. Heat from parked tires softens the coating, breaks adhesion, and leads to peeling that can only be fixed by grinding and starting over.

3. Floors That Stay Bonded and Look New for 15–20+ Years
A properly prepped concrete surface paired with a true multi-layer epoxy system and a durable urethane topcoat delivers long-term performance under real garage conditions.

To understand why epoxy floors fail — and how to avoid costly rework — see our complete epoxy failure prevention guide .

Why Use a Garage Floor Epoxy Kit?

A garage epoxy kit keeps the application process simple and reliable. Each system includes everything needed — resin, hardener, flakes, tools, and topcoat — all engineered to work together as a complete flooring system.

Using a matched kit that is all-inclusive eliminates common installation mistakes that lead to peeling, thin coverage, or premature wear.

What’s the Difference Between Our Four Garage Epoxy Kits?

Each ArmorGarage kit has a different build and look. That helps you match your floor to how you use it. Here is how each kit stacks up for thickness, flakes, and coats.

Garage floor epoxy coating with color flake combinations

Armor Chip

Armor Chip is the standard garage epoxy kit in the line. It includes 6 pounds of color flakes in each box. Two clear topcoats build a surface 20 mils thick.

  • Good fit for daily cars and light trucks
  • Flake finish helps hide small marks and dust

Armor Granite

Armor Granite is the top flake upgrade for garage floors. It uses extra thick epoxy for a deeper build. The kit includes 18 pounds of flakes and 4 coats. The finished floor reaches 27 mils thick.

Commercial Kit

  • Commercial Epoxy Kit has a solid color finish only
  • 2 layers reach fourteen mils of total build
  • Forklift rated topcoat handles heavier rolling and point loads

This kit suits work areas with tools and stands. It works well where you want a bright, simple surface and to easily find dropped parts and screws.

Metallic Epoxy Kit

Metallic Epoxy Kite is a three-layer swirling marble 3D finish with primer, metallic. It uses a primer coat, metallic layer, and strong topcoat. Our best-in-class military-grade topcoat, and is 30 mils thick.

  • 3 coats stack for a thick, deep finish
  • Military grade topcoat protects the metallic surface pattern
  • Good choice for show style garages with strong loads

Real-World Results: A Tale of Two Epoxies

Getting a garage floor that looks sharp is the first step. Keeping that same look for 15–20 years is what sets a strong kit apart. John and Eric’s story shows this difference better than any chart or claim.

Eric used the Armor Chip garage kit on his slab. John used a big-box epoxy to save some money. Both floors looked the same at first, but that changed fast. John’s floor dulled, stained, and then peeled in less than a year. Eric’s floor stayed bright, clean, and smooth.

Eric shared this note with us:

Hey Jim, Eric Pfeiffer here from Miami. Thought you would find this picture interesting! You sold me the Armor Chip garage flooring kit (floor on the right) with the standard topcoat and my friend John did his floor with an epoxy kit from the local big box store to save some money (oil-stained floor on the left). Both floors looked similar, but that didn’t last more than a year, and the difference now is amazing!

My floor still looks good and cleans up easily, but it’s getting to the point where it could use a freshening. I’m going to use the Military Topcoat to give it that new look again after a light sanding to rough it up. John was told he needs to do a complete diamond grind on his spot! I’m figuring the military topcoat will give me a finish I’ll never have to redo, judging from how long the standard topcoat lasted, which is now going on over 10 years. Speak to you soon (so will John!) and thanks for a fantastic product and your great customer service!”

Side by side comparison of ArmorGarage floor epoxy vs Big Box Store epoxy paint

Eric’s ArmorGarage floor held up under hot tires for over ten years. The surface only shows light scuffing and dulling from tight parking turns. A single coat of Military Topcoat will put it back to a fresh look for another 15–20 years.

John’s floor ended up in the opposite place. His coating failed, peeled, and stained, and now needs a full diamond grind and heavy cleanup. That extra step costs more time, more work, and more money had he done it the right way to begin with.

This is why choosing the right kit once matters.

Important Things to Know About Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings

Garage floors see hot tires, sharp turns, rolling loads, and constant abrasion. The right epoxy system is not just about sticking to concrete — it’s about protecting the surface for the long term.

Epoxy topcoat guide

Why the Topcoat Matters

A urethane topcoat is what protects epoxy from wear. Without it, even a well-bonded epoxy floor will dull, scuff, and show tire marks far sooner than expected.

Garages with off-road tires, racing tires, trailers, golf carts, or workshop equipment need a low-abrasion topcoat. As a rule, ratings above 20 mg offer minimal wear protection.

ArmorGarage offers a 4 mg Military Grade topcoat designed to handle aggressive garage use and repeated tire abrasion — the main reason our floors stay looking good long after lighter systems wear out.

Avoid epoxy floor failure

Avoiding Buyer’s Remorse

Most epoxy floor complaints come from thin coatings, weak topcoats, or systems that weren’t designed for real garage conditions. Floors may stay bonded, but still look worn, dull, or marked much sooner than expected.

ArmorGarage kits are built to avoid those outcomes by matching coating thickness and topcoat durability to how your garage is actually used.

About Full Flake Broadcast Systems

Full broadcast flake systems look great — but they are difficult to install evenly without professional experience. They require large amounts of flake, thicker epoxy, and multiple topcoats to perform correctly.

For most DIY garage floors, a heavy flake system that delivers consistent coverage without excessive thickness is the smarter choice.

The Armor Granite Kit delivers approximately 90–95% flake coverage, a granite-style finish, and the durability needed for garage use — without the risks of a full broadcast install.
