Most epoxy failures — peeling, hot tire pickup, yellowing, cracking — trace back to a few specific shortcuts in cheaper products. ArmorGarage avoids all of them:
True 100% solids: No water, no solvents, no cheap filler ingredients. The coating you apply is the coating that cures — nothing evaporates, no corners cut.
Two & Three-layer systems, not one-coat: Primer + base + topcoat each do a specific job. Single-coat kits skip the topcoat, which is exactly the layer that handles wear.
Military-grade urethane topcoat: Hardens chemically rather than just air drying. Resists hot tire pickup, UV yellowing, and chemical damage that destroys lesser topcoats.
Factory-ground pigments: Real pigment powders, not liquid tints. Deeper color, more uniform coverage, longer color retention under abrasion.
