Textured Outdoor Concrete & Wood Coating With Cool Surface Technology
ResurFinish At a Glance
ArmorGarage ResurFinish is a textured outdoor coating for concrete and wood — decks, pool decks, patios, porches, sidewalks, and concrete driveways. Solar-reflecting pigments keep the surface barefoot-friendly in full sun, and the textured finish is not slippery when wet. Coverage is 75 sq ft per gallon per coat (two coats required; a 5-gallon pail finishes 187 sq ft). Foot traffic next day, vehicle traffic in 3–4 days. Nontoxic, and resistant to extreme temperature swings, oil, chlorine, and saltwater.
ArmorGarage has developed a new coating for outdoor surfaces such as decks, pool decks, patios, porches, outdoor family spaces, sidewalks, and driveways. Unique solar-reflecting pigments keep the surface temperature barefoot-friendly while providing maximum durability. ResurFinish replaces our Renew It Deck Coating and Super Deck Paint, combining both into a single upgraded formula.
Cool Surface Technology
Solar-Reflecting Pigments Keep It Barefoot-Friendly
Which Surfaces Can You Coat With ResurFinish?
*For vehicle traffic on concrete driveways, topcoat with ArmorGarage UltraGlaze urethane for added protection. ResurFinish is not suitable for asphalt — for asphalt surfaces, use ArmorGarage Surface Bond instead.
Color options: ResurFinish comes in two pre-tinted heat-reflecting colors, plus a non-tinted version you can field-tint to any color with standard acrylic or latex paint. Note that field tinting with standard paint will not provide the cooling technology of the pre-tinted versions.
How Do You Apply ResurFinish?
Application is simple with our Mohair rollers — no contractor or special equipment needed. Two coats are required. See the TDS/Instructions for full details.
CONCRETE SURFACES
Etching details: Concrete must be acid etched clean or diamond ground with a floor prep machine (rentable from Home Depot). If you diamond grind, you don't need to etch. To etch: wet the floor — a quick power wash is preferable — then mix 1 gallon of muriatic acid with 3 gallons of water for every 300 square feet. Sprinkle evenly over the surface in sections and scrub in with a stiff bristle shop broom or pool brush. Let sit for 5 minutes, then sprinkle 1 lb of TSP powder per 1,000 square feet, brush in, and rinse thoroughly. Allow the concrete to dry a minimum of 24–48 hours. If the concrete still appears dirty, etch a second time and apply the TSP after the second etch.
WOOD SURFACES
Power wash the wood clean and remove any loose material from the surface. Apply ArmorGarage Wood Primer and allow it to dry to the touch, then apply two coats of ResurFinish the same as on concrete.
ResurFinish: Common Questions
Does ResurFinish really keep a deck or patio cooler?
Yes — the two pre-tinted colors use solar-reflecting pigments that reduce surface temperature enough to stay barefoot-friendly in direct sun. The non-tinted, field-tintable version does not include the cooling technology.
Is ResurFinish slippery when wet?
No. The textured finish provides traction even when wet, which is why it's made for pool decks, porches, and other outdoor areas that see water, chlorine, and saltwater.
How much ResurFinish do I need?
Coverage is 75 sq ft per gallon per coat, and two coats are required — so one 5-gallon pail finishes approximately 187 sq ft. Divide your square footage by 187 to get the number of pails.
Can I use ResurFinish on my driveway?
On concrete driveways, yes — topcoat with ArmorGarage UltraGlaze urethane for added protection under vehicle traffic. ResurFinish is not suitable for asphalt; for asphalt driveways use ArmorGarage Surface Bond.
What happened to Renew It Deck Coating and Super Deck Paint?
ResurFinish replaces both. It combines the wood-deck durability of Super Deck Paint and the textured finish of Renew It into one upgraded formula — and adds the cool surface technology neither had. If you previously used either product, ResurFinish is the direct successor for recoats and new projects.
How soon can I walk or drive on it?
Foot traffic the next day. Vehicle traffic in 3–4 days on concrete driveways (with the UltraGlaze topcoat recommended for vehicle areas).
Regulatory note: ArmorGarage ResurFinish is nontoxic but is restricted for sale in the following California counties: Fresno, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Merced, Monterey, Orange, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Joaquin, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Tulare, and Ventura.
