Garage Floor Epoxy: Durable Floor Coatings for Garages, Shops & Workshops

Garage floor epoxy is a multi-layer protective coating designed to permanently bond to concrete, creating a seamless, chemical-resistant, high-gloss surface. Unlike paint or DIY sealers, high-quality epoxy coatings penetrate and harden into and onto the concrete, protecting it from moisture, road salts, vehicle fluids, impacts, tire abrasion, garage stains, and heavy traffic.

Looking for a durable garage floor epoxy coating that can withstand hot tires, chemicals, and daily vehicle use? This page covers professional-grade garage epoxy flooring systems designed for long-term performance — not temporary, retail epoxy kits.

ArmorGarage offers four garage floor epoxy kits engineered to be true once-and-done epoxy floor systems. Whether you’re parking passenger cars, heavy trucks, exotic sports cars with super-hot tires, or using your space as a full workshop, we have the right epoxy floor system for your specific needs.

Our DIY-friendly garage epoxy packages save you thousands of dollars compared to franchise and contractor prices and are designed for first-time users and are available as: Armor Chip (about 75% flake coverage), Armor Granite (about 90–95% flake coverage), our two-layer Commercial System for solid colors (no flakes), and our Metallic Epoxy kit for a one-of-a-kind 3D swirling marble-like finish.

You can customize your coating with primer and military-grade topcoat options so your epoxy floor stays looking new even in the harshest conditions.

All our garage epoxy coatings are made in the USA and focus on easy installation and extreme durability. A properly installed ArmorGarage epoxy floor will protect your concrete from tire abrasion, peeling, vehicle fluids, road salts, stains, and impacts for 15–20 years.

Every garage floor epoxy kit ships free and comes as a complete package with everything you need in sufficient quantities for a once-and-done project the first time.

Choose the military-grade topcoat option if you:

  • Live in a harsh winter area with heavy use of road salts
  • Have oversized trucks, tractors, or equipment
  • Use your garage as a workshop
  • Store large toys like bobcats, boat trailers, ATVs, or snowmobiles

Our garage epoxy is made from 100% military grade solids— not the fake “100% solids,” “high solids,” or imported solids being marketed by other brands.

All the images and floors you'll see on the following slides were done by first-time users applying an epoxy floor coating for the very first time — including the 20,000 SF race shop video near the end. It’s a must-see.

Types of Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings

Garage floor epoxy is not a single product. It’s a category of concrete coatings with different system types designed for specific garage conditions, traffic levels, and appearance goals. Choosing the right epoxy system is the biggest factor in how long your garage floor coating stays glossy, stain-resistant, and chip-free.

Solid Color Garage Floor Epoxy

Solid color epoxy systems create a clean, uniform finish and are commonly used in garages, shops, and commercial spaces where visibility of small parts and easy maintenance are important. Long-term performance depends heavily on abrasion resistance and topcoat quality.

Decorative Flake Epoxy Garage Floors

Flake epoxy systems broadcast color flakes into the epoxy to improve traction, hide imperfections, and create a granite-like appearance. Flake coverage can range from partial to near-full coverage depending on the kit and the look you want.

Metallic Epoxy Garage Floors

Metallic epoxy floors use special pigments to create a three-dimensional, marbled appearance. These systems are typically multi-layer builds with a clear protective topcoat, making them ideal when aesthetics and durability both matter.

Heavy-Duty & Military-Grade Garage Epoxy Systems

Heavy-duty epoxy systems are built for extreme use: oversized vehicles, hot tires, road salts, chemical exposure, and workshop abuse. These systems prioritize hardness, abrasion resistance, and chemical protection over “one-size-fits-all” coatings.

Understanding these system differences helps you pick the correct epoxy coating for a garage floor so you do your garage once instead of grinding it off and redoing it later.

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 money.

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 Epoxy

Even the worst-looking concrete can be turned into a showroom-quality epoxy floor. Alan T in Denver had years of road salt damage and oil stains. He had never done an epoxy coating before, but his finished garage looks professionally installed.

The difference: proper prep and a true heavy-duty garage floor epoxy system — not a thin store kit.

Garage Epoxy Floor Transformation – After

Alan profiled the slab thoroughly, applied primer, installed the Armor Chip epoxy with flakes, and finished with one coat of military-grade topcoat. He left the control joints unfilled (recommended) because it adds dimension and makes the floor look like large granite slabs.

Alan used the Armor Chip garage epoxy kit in medium gray with black, white, and primary blue flakes plus the military-grade topcoat for extra protection.

Epoxy Flooring for Shops & Large Garages

Watch this video from our customer, Dynamic Race Works. They completed a 20,000 SF race shop floor in-house over a long weekend using employees who had never installed an epoxy floor before.

They used the ArmorGarage Large Format 3-layer Military-Industrial System , but the same epoxy technology applies to garages, pole barns, and man caves.

  • Bare uncoated concrete slabs can stain, crack, and become very pitted, exposing the aggregate that holds the concrete together.
  • It forms a seamless epoxy garage floor that resists hot-tire pickup, stains, chemicals, and impacts.
  • Substantially increases curb appeal!
  • Outperforms traditional concrete paints and sealers in every performance category and appearance.
  • Single-coat and or underrated epoxy products are the most common cause of peeling, dulling, and early wear.
  • Everyday garages: hot tires, road salt, garage stuff, and daily vehicle traffic.
  • Workshops: rolling toolboxes, jacks, high abrasion, dropped tools, and chemicals.
  • Service bays: frequent cleaning, chemical exposure, repeated use cycles.
  • Utility/storage: resistant to scuffs from boxes and outdoor equipment, spills, high temperature swings, and high-use dolley & walk paths.
  • Use case: light parking, heavy vehicles, workshops, or off-road-level traffic.
  • Topcoat strength: the right abrasion resistance + chemical resistance (road salts/solvents) matter most.
  • Prep method: proper profiling by acid etching or grinding and degreasing prevents the majority of failures.
  • Finish choice: flake hides imperfections; solid colors make small parts easier to spot. Both are high-gloss finishes.
  • Read the full guide before choosing.

Why Professionals Choose ArmorGarage Epoxy Flooring

ArmorGarage garage floor epoxy systems are engineered as complete multi-layer solutions — primer, epoxy build coat, and protective topcoat — matched to your traffic, environment, and finish goals instead of a one-size-fits-all formula.

Why are ArmorGarage garage epoxy kits more expensive? Quick Answer: A true multi-layer system can cost more upfront, but it saves money long-term by avoiding premature failures and costly diamond grind and recoat. Cheap epoxies are always more expensive in the end.

Why do many garage floor epoxies fail, and how can I avoid it? Quick Answer: Most failures come from poor prep, thin, low-quality coatings, or single-coat products that can’t handle hot tyres and abrasion. Proper profiling + a true multi-layer garage floor coating system prevents peeling and early wear. See: How To Prep & Epoxy Paint Your Floor Properly and Why ArmorGarage Epoxy Really Is The Best.

Can I install a garage epoxy floor myself? Quick Answer: Yes. Our epoxy garage floor kits are designed for first-time users with everything you need in sufficient quantities and clear instructions for a once and done process.

How long does it take to install garage floor epoxy? Quick Answer: A typical 2.5 car garage is often 6–12 total man-hours, plus cure time. Plan a 2–3 day window.

How long does an epoxy garage floor last? Quick Answer: With proper prep and the right topcoat, we have many installs last 10–15+ years depending on traffic, chemicals, and environment.

Choosing the right kit matters—but knowing why garage floor epoxy fails in the first place matters even more.

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 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 eliminates common installation mistakes that lead to peeling, thin coverage, or premature wear. You’re not mixing brands or guessing at compatibility, which ensures proper thickness, adhesion, and long-term performance.

  • High-build epoxy layers designed to resist hot-tire pickup
  • Built for daily vehicle traffic and real garage use
  • Extra durability for tools, jacks, and rolling loads
  • Resistance to oil, chemicals, and common garage spills
  • Protective topcoat that fights road salt staining and wear

A complete system makes installation faster and more predictable — delivering a durable, easy-to-clean garage floor designed to hold up for years.

What’s the Difference Between Each ArmorGarage Epoxy Kit?

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.
