I've been watching many other videos about how to epoxy the garage floor and you guys are the MOST in=depth detailed and apply your application the best I've seen! GREAT JOB! I've really learned a lot! THANKS
Bernie thank you so much!
I do this for a living and that hand grinder stand you used to edge blew my mind. You mean i dont need to blow my knees out kneeling!
SPARTANS WHAT IS YOUR PERFECTION, AH OOT AH OOT AHH OOT!!
Great job - I also noticed how well everyone worked together. No fumbling around, everyone knew what needed to be done. - Would hire you for my project.
NICE JOB. YOU GUYS REALY ARE PROFESSIONALS.
Give that installer a raise! He is a super pro... keep him happy :-)
Amen to that. He's a true professional!
Thanks guys! Great video. Best one out there for step by step installation
Thank you very much!
Great tutorial. Appreciate the knowledge. For any readers.........Please use faceshilelds and respirators and maybe hearing protection cuz concrete dust and loud power tools will mess you up !!!
100% Agree!
Great Informative Video guys!!! I'm about to start doing my garage floors and I've never done this before, so... I learned a lot by watching your video!!! Thank you!
Hi Tim, did you purchase a kit from our website spartanepoxies.com?
Spartan Epoxies I have not...my partner, and I am having trouble deciding on what color chose. I want more of a burnt orange-ish color ( from rust-oleum they call it Copper Pot), and my partner wants a blue-ish color since part of our house is. Blue. So, we are at a stalemate at the moment. :/
I like the small trolly for the small angle grinder!
I have a 600sf garage I need this done in. Awesome job guys looks great 👍🏻
call use, we only sell the epoxy just so you know.
best garage floor video i've seen. nicely done fellas. i'll be looking at purchasing your products for my garage floor soon!
Thank you very much! Let us know if you have any questions. You can call 1-877-288-1952 or email us spartanepoxies@gmail.com.
Great install guys, you did it right!
Unfortunately, we live in NW Ohio and had a company called Buckeye Concrete floor coatings do our work. They did not follow all the steps you have shown in this video. Subsequently we have had many issues of the coating coming loose and now they refuse to take care of their self created problems. They are desperately trying to claim the floor is damp not allowing the coatings to remain bonded. They made the call regarding the condition of the floor prior to applying the coating. It was very dry according to the installers, in fact they opted not to check it with a moisture analyze. It's so sad when a company plays the BS card on you.
well call us we can help
Moisture issues don't necessarily start when the concrete is poured. You can have concrete that has no moisture issues for many years then through circumstances your moisture content spikes and the epoxy delaminates. With that said, chances are the concrete was not prepped properly. It rarely is. It's amazing how many CZcams videos I see where people think the installation job is amazing and a true professional like myself could write a 5000 word critique on how they have no understanding whatsoever what they're doing.
Great video guys learned so much, can you please list all the tool names you guys used like that grinder name and size
great job gentlemen. What are the specifications of your floor surface grinding machine and the vacuum, and where can I get the?
Where did you get the trolly for the hand grinder!? That would help a TON on my back
I'll be ordering my kit in the next week or so for a two car garage. This looks pretty involved but I need to save money and still have it look professional. i suppose I have my work cut out for me.
I just had a pole barn built and just wondering how long I should wait to allow the concrete to cure/dry before applying your product to the surface?
Looks like a great product and I appreciate the thorough application video. Do you have a Canadian distributor?
you can buy it online at spartanepoxies.com
Can u please tell me where I get the housing that holds your 7" grinder and allows you to stand up???
Great gob
Do you not have to worry about footprints and back yourself out with the roller? It looks like everyone is walking all over without backing theirselves out. Unless im not seeing that part?
These two guys are great. Thank you. What would be the cost of a pro doing this job?
James Doyle 4-6 dollars a sq/ft
you can do this yourself... Call me: Jeff Doyle senior rep at Spartan... Nice last name btw.
This is very similar to how you install epoxy floor decking on navel ships.
The worst part is using a tiny jack hammer and deck crawler to get up the old flooring and profile it. Steps are slightly different because it's metal vs concrete but not radically different.
I have a question, can you use epoxy and thin it with acetone to make it as a prime coat?
I believe the epoxy would actually work great as a primer without the acetone
Yo you know I've done this that U are applying. But now I've got this friend of mine who is wanting this done. But it's on a stage where it is drown down. 25 by 16 foot stage. By the way it's in wood. So do you think if I do a proses with one of your products that would be an underlemint or so. Then do what is the two step proses? Would it be durable enough for a stage where people who are singing and moving around, work?
call us tomorrow 877-288-1952 ask for Bryan
So would i follow same steps if i wanted to use your hdwb as primer and hpu coat as topcoat is there anything different i would need to i dont think i will have enough time with polyaspartic?
I know this was an old question, but we wanted to answer it as we don't check comments often. You can use our HDWB epoxy and then coat with HPU. That's considered a thin mil system. However, there's several ways to building a high performance resinous coating system. With that said, I would go with HDPRO @ 12mils, (133 sq ft per gallon), then apply a pigmented topcoat like HPU or even HP44 our easy to apply polyaspartic system. You can pigment that system with our polyaspartic pigment packs. Give us a call we can help 1-877-288-1952.
you move water heaters and washer and dryers to paint under them?
No just go around them.
you can see some darker spots in some areas. is that because the camera and lighting or is that because of the way you were dispersing the decorative flakes.
It was the lighting
I'm looking to do this in my 3 car garage, very similar to this one. I don't have the drains nor the pole, but I have more expansion joints. What's a ballpark on having someone do this professionally? $1,000 materials and labor? $2,000? More? I'm assuming you guys are in Michigan or I'd call direct. I'm in NC, so I know prices will vary. Also, we have an older dog who has been sick for over a year and urinates on the garage floor. How much extra prep needs to be done to account for deep cleaning it? We obviously hose it out daily and I have used the pressure washer with the circular surface cleaner several times as well.
You can purchase everything you need from our website. www.spartanepoxies.com
I just paid 1900 on a 2.5 car. Exact process and end result.
Is this product a Zyleen base material?
Oil based, xylene is more for polyaspartics and urethanes.
Do you need to diamond grind a brand new garage floor?
Yes you do. That's a common misconception. A lot of folks think since the concrete it new it doesn't need prepped. Concrete is concrete, when concrete contractors finish concrete, they use a metal trowel which makes the concrete smooth, and epoxy will not bond to a smooth surface. You need to remove the "creme" from the top of the concrete either by acid etching or by diamond grinding. There are other ways, but those 2 are the most popular. Hope that helps!
On a new construction can you epoxy the garage floor or should you wait a year?
Yes 30 days for HDPRO or 5 days with our new epoxy primer and vapor system.
@@spartanepoxies3798 I'm in the same boat. Have a house being built and will definitely be using your product. So you mean 30 days from the time the concrete garage is poured?
What step would you do for oil stains on garage floor?
Use our oil stop primer!
Is the mid-coat the same product as the prime coat?
yes
@@spartanepoxies3798 Do you put down the mid-coat immediately ontop of wet prime, or let it setup first?
What color base and flake is this?
How much for a 19x 20 garage
call us 1-877-288-1952
Wow these guys are no bullshit!
How is acid etching an out dated technology? What you recommend is sanding, while washing the concrete with a acid will do the same thing.... don’t make it sound like you have to be a “professional “ to paint the floor
We're not. Compared to the latest technology in diamonds and equipment etching is outdated. However, there are some pretty cool new products out there for etching. We're not against etching trust me. The whole point of this video is to show the beginner how to apply epoxy so we are def not saying you have to be a professional, quite the opposite.
Have a few questions:
1. How does this compare to the Rust-Oleum epoxy (or other DIY method)? Why would I choose this method?
2. What's the price range to DIY or have a professionally installed flooring in the size garage you did?
3. Do you have a list of recommended installers if I don't want to DIY? This looks a bit more involved, so if the price is right, I'd rather have a pro do it.
THANKS!!
Rust-Oleum Epoxy is a glorified acrylic paint. Our epoxy is true epoxy. The only thing I would tell you is to not apply PC85 as that is a fast drying top coat. You can replace that with HDI or any of our other top coats which have a 1.5 hour work time. You can call me and I can help you. 1-877-288-1952 or visit our website at spartanepoxies.com to see our kits. You can also email or fill out our RFQ so that we can properly quote you. Thanks for watching!

what I want to know is how his arms got so banged up :D
He's a hard worker. One of the most professional epoxy applicators I've ever seen.
Beautiful job guys, but where's your protective gear and should you be smoking while applying this toxic coating? If your doing this as a profession, your more at risk of lung issues.. Please stay safe...
Relax Karen
Who said it was toxic?
Always wear gloves, safety glasses AND A MASK when sanding and grinding concrete! :( Incredible video, besides.
I agree with that, but our grinder produces no silica in the air, but I 100% agree with you.
nice video, horrible music.
Yeah, I click on so many videos I want to watch, but can't get passed the stupid music. Where is it written, that if you post a video, it automatically makes you a music producer. If you want to make music videos, do that, and don't try to mix your shit taste in music with other subjects.
always wear safety glasses and gloves as he has his glasses on his head. You guys dont waste time in between coats should you let it bond better to adhere soundly?
Yes you should always wear protective gear. Mike got to busy and forgot to put his on, but trust us when working with industrial grade coatings like ours you need to protect yourself. There are many ways to apply a primer and midcoat. The best way is the way we applied it with HDPRO. Apply a 6mil coating, wait about an hour and a half or until you can get back on the floor and apply the midcoat. You get a chemical bond using this technique with HDPRO. We formulated HDPRO this way so that you get one layer of epoxy that's sunk into the concrete, and one layer thats chemically bonded. Which makes a long lasting, superior, high impact, and high performance resinous flooring system.
Where did you get the trolly for the hand grinder!? That would help a TON on my back
Agreed
@@matthewdawes-kp6qr It's very nice. I'm not sure, but with a quick google search I bet you can find one! good luck.
