Like most painting, it's all in the prep work, but is epoxying my 20 year old smooth garage floor really a DIY job?


Beyond the20+ years of crud to remove, this video discusses patching concrete cracks (I don't have any), applying a concrete primer, then applying a thin layer of concrete, then applying an etching product and then, finally applying the epoxy flooring.

Any project that requires tools I will never use again, or a project that I will never repeat to gain eco-to-scale, I will usually outsource. Have you obtained a quote? if so, what is the cost vs DIY expenses...If it only cost $12 more for a cold six-pack to sit down and watch the contractor, you could have your answer...also, if you are married, do you have a wife that will point out all your errors for the next X yrs?
