KILZ 1-Part Epoxy Concrete & Garage Floor Paint, Slate Gray, 1 Gallon

Great to cover a DRY, relatively unused cement floor. This paint is easy to apply and two coats covered 100 square feet. VERY easy to clean up in a sink. I like the matte grey color and texture. I would not use this paint and expect to be able to drive on it and turn the wheels of a car without the paint showing damage. This is good quality paint, but this is not a professional epoxy garage floor paint. If your garage floor is built on the ground and doesn't have a significant vapor barrier, don't expect this or almost any other floor paint to stick as the water will ultimately win the battle.

I used Rustoleum's degreaser prior to application, I'd recomend that. This stuff rolled on nicely, stuck, and looks great. Stain resistant, covered existing stains in one coat. I used 1 gallon on 288 Sq ft, and had 1/4 can leftover. A little shrinkage on cracks, but I came back with a caulk gun and filled those spots. This paint stuck to the caulk nicely as well.

Application went smooth, the color is beautiful. Would recommend as an upgrade for any concrete.

I was thinking this would be more "epoxy" like having poured epoxy table tops. I was wrong, it is like using latex paint, just a little thinner. It will not dry if puddled, like in a small hole in your cement. You will have to fill the hole first or just find a way to apply a thin layer to the bottom, like using a brush. I left a puddle abount 1/2 inch deep for 24 hours and was able to use a brush to "paint" it out. It didn't dry on top like a latex would, or harden like an epoxy would. Just stayed a liquid. I had a 400 ft square area to cover. The first coat took 1 gallon and an additional 1/3 of the next gallon. The second coat was about 120 ft square short using the remaining 2/3 gallon, so keep this in mind when trying to figure out how much to purchase. If your concrete is new and glossy it may cover better, but if the first coat needs to fill in a rougher surface your going to need more. Clean up in water is easier than latex, didn't take much to remove from my hands, even with a little drying time. Final note, if you plan finish your floor with a covering of chips you will want to consider purchasing a clear coat finish as it is almost required to seal in those chips and make your floor look good. The chips are spread on after the last coat while the paint is still dry, so they stick to the surface. I will post pics once my floor is dried, before I clear coat, then after I clear coat.

All three cans had the same issue. When I opened them, there was like a thick sand looking material in the bottom 2" of each can. After mixing thoroughly several times the mixture still had lumps the size of nickels in them. I put it on with a roller and had to roll the floor real hard to get as many lumps out as I could. took me double the time to roll the floor. Once it dried, for the most part it looked as advertised. But the mixture shouldn't have separated like that and not be able to remix properly.
