Is this suitable for treating a garage floor which has water seeping into it when there is heavy rain or is it mainly cosmetic?

No, this product is for application to clean and dry prepared concrete garage floors, including old adhering coatings, and not recommended for use on smooth/dense concrete or surfaces treated with curing compounds. It can withstand occasional water contact such as vehicles entering with rainwater on the wheels, but would advise against using if larger volumes of water are be expected to be present on the surface for extended periods.

Hi, can I put a clear coat on this product, which would you recommend to use Thanks

Yes, you could consider Rust-Oleum 4900 Polycoat 2K , this is available in a matt or gloss finish. If the original paint is still within its overcoating window, this can be applied without additional preparation assuming the floor is clean, dry and sound. Outside of this time it will need to be cleaned and sanded to provide a key.

Hi, I have just poured a garage floor. The 2 stupid dogs were let out and have ran over the almost set concrete. If I was to use a latex self levelling compound to remove e paw prints could I use this product to paint the floor???

Assuming the applied levelling compound states it is overpaintable, has sufficent compressive strength, is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this would be suitable.

Hi, I've recently used setcrete exterior self leveler on my garage floor. I've contacted setcrete and they stated their leveler contains spray-dried acrylic polymer and does not contain latex. Would this product be compatible to use? Many thanks,

Assuming a damp proof membrane is present below the concrete slab, the manufacturer of the self leveling compound confirms it is suitable to be used as a wear layer and over painted this kit could be used.

Hello, I have a concrete garage floor without a self levelling compound applied, will the resin fill minor imperfections and impressions in the concrete slab?

Any floor paint would be too thin a build product to mask any imperfections, these would need to be addressed prior to painting.

The garage is used for my large motorbike , how slippy is the surface and especially with wet tyres

This paint does not have any anti-slip properties, assuming you wish to have an anti-slip finish, the floor is concrete, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend Rust-Oleum 5300 Epoxyshield Maxx used in conjunction with Epoxyshield Antislip Additive .

Do i need to apply two coats of the paint for best results. If so does one kit allow me to do that without the unused paint drying out between coats or do I need to buy two kits?

Assuming the concrete floor is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet only one coat is required, but additional coats can be applied. The mixing ratio is listed in the technical data sheet but to avoid mixing issues it is recommended to mix complete tins. The pot life of this product at 20°C is 1.5hours.

Do I need a clear coat of epoxy sheald on top of this?

Assuming the floor is subject to foot and vehicle traffic a clear coat is not required.

Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit Please can you tell me what tools / equipment I need for this product? Also - can you suggest what type of roller would be best? Thanks

For application of this product we can recommend our Floor Application Kit . This comes with a 15ltr scuttle, a pack of brushes, 12" roller frame, pole and 2 rollers made to withstand solvents.

This product looks like a good option for finishing my double garage floor, can you advise if rustoleum sell a compatible epoxy product to increase the surface area spread rather than another entire kit, my sq ft is 272 and I’m not confident this kit will cover it to the recommended thickness?

The kit covers 25m², your floor is 25.3m² unfortunately the epoxy in this kit is not available seperately, we would recommend 2 kits for this application. Or assuming the floor is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet you could consider this similar product Rust-Oleum 5300 Epoxyshield Maxx . You would require 3.8ltrs per coat.

I see the garage floor paint is water based with epoxy resin how strong is the odour given off and the approximate time I can expect the smell to last. Regards Keith Hartley

We have no way of accurately describing the strength of odour to you but any odour present should be greatly reduced when touch dry (after 16 hours) and completely gone once fully cured (7 days). Good ventilation and drying conditions will help considerably.

Hello there, I have a 70m2 garage and was wondering what the working time is on this product? Would I have to do the entire floor using all three kits at once or can they be overlapped? Or is there a better product I should consider, the floor isnt overly smooth and the idea behind using this is it might hide a lot of the imperfections you see? Do you do anything else that adds flecks etc? Regards Mark

You can download the Product Data Sheet from the 'Attachments' tab on the product page which goes through the product drying times, preparation, application etc. The floor area would need to be done in one go ideally as the data sheet advises to maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks and gloss differences.

Does this come with the acid etch and degreaser?

Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit inculdes; Part A & B of the Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Concentrated Cleaner Decorative Chips Stir Stick Instruction Sheet DVD

Epoxyshield garage floor coating kit - can this product be applied directly onto a newly laid integral garage concrete floor (in a new build house) which hasn’t been sealed with a concrete sealer, or do I need to seal the floor first before covering with this paint?

Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit is intended for application directly to bare, concrete floors, which are completely clean and dry (fully cured). It is not recommended to apply on smooth/dense concrete or concrete containing a curing compound, which will prevent a good adhesion.

Can this product be put on painted concrete and the floor is not smooth concrete.?

The existing paint must be well adhered and also two pack to enable the Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit to be applied. If this is the case prepare by way of cleaning thoroughly and abrading to provide a key for the new coating to stick to.

Is this paint suitable to be applied to a floor levelled with Bostik Screedmaster Ultimate?

Bostik Screedmaster Ultimate according to Bostik is not intended to be a finished floor surface and is required to have a final floor covering applied such as tiles, wood laminate, carpet, etc. Although Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit should adhere reasonably well to the screed, no long term durability could be guaranteed due to the soft nature of the Bostik screed you have used.

What other products do I need to prep the garage floor before applying Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit?

You shouldn't need anything else, the kit comes with a cleaning solution to use on the floor prior to application of the coating. If your floor is damaged and requires repair mortar then you can choose from Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Concrete Repair Mortar , Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Fine Crack Repair or Rust-Oleum 5412 Epoxy Filler .

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.
