Garage - New construction, Floor coatings and Car Lift opinions / Ideas?

[ray1970]

If I were doing a new garage I’d opt for dyed concrete. Worked in a shop once that was done that way and it was awesome compared to all of the shops I’ve worked in with any kind of coating. The problem with most of the coatings is they will scrape off or peel up. Drag a floor jack across it and your pretty floor probably won’t be so pretty anymore.

Although, as with all things coating related, the quality/longevity of the coating is only as good as your prep.

Brand new concrete will be pretty easy to get a good coat on.

Older stuff needs to be prepped really well...
