I did a bit of research and read through the various threads here about floor coatings but I don't recall anyone mentioning POR-15's product : http://www.stoprust.net/Floor-Coatings-p-1-c-30.html -
I ran into it on a thread on corvetteforum.com (amazingly enough, they were talking about actually WORKING on their cars int he garage and not discussing which floor would resist staining from an accidental spill of their favourite car wax (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). It looks like its only been out a few months but so far it seems ot be getting some pretty good reviews so far. Its a tad more expensive than 2 part expoxy. I've got about 800sq ft to cover. According to ucoatit.com its just shy of $700 for their 2 part expoy with a clearcoat top and I'd need 2 of the 400sqft kits from of the POR-15 stuff which is $1010 THoughts / Comments? - Nick |

Nick - The deluxe kit from POR-15 only adds sparkle chips and clearcoat - you could could save some bux and only get one of the deluxe kits (for the Vette side of the shop) and one of the regular kits (for the race car side).
The POR-15 stuff is a solvent based 2part epoxy, much like the EPO Coat VA that I used in my old shop: http://www.dcdynamis.com/concrete.html |

The reason I was leaning towards the clearcoat was to make clean up a little easier and to add an extra layer to help prevent chipping / cracking from things falling on it. I have zero intention of putting the sparkle stuff (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I was under the impression the POR stuff was different from the EPO Coat you used. Now that I re-read it I"m not so sure now. It might be cheaper to go with the Dynamis stuff then... - Nick |
