Do I need to purchase the clear top coat to get the high gloss finish?NO!
Both base and top coats have equal gloss levels however when you apply an additional clear coat the light will reflect on a smoother surface and will therefore look glossier.

Another satisfied customer!
Christine, Here are some pictures of my new "smoke-blue" garage floor. It has only been 2 days since I put it down and I am very happy with the way that it turned out. It looks great! I appreciate you and the other people that answered my many questions at Epoxy-Coat. You all were very helpful.
Thanks again, T. Strupp
Testimonials provided by customers that purchased Epoxy Coat garage floor coating kits
Jamie:
Received the 'touch-up' kit and it worked perfectly. I am so pleased with the results, as it looks incredible. There is NO comparison between this and the 'other' brands that I have seen.........this is far superior! Many neighbors have come around to see it, so I am hopeful that you will hear from them soon too. Thank you again for all your work.......it is appreciated.
I am sending you some 'before and after' photos in the taupe color so you can see for yourself the results. More will be included in 2 other e-mails, following this one with other 'shots'. Feel free to send them out to others and/or have them contact me directly. All I can say is positive comments about you, your company and your product.
All the best, George Prattes
Hi Jamie,
The epoxy floor is finished!
Thanks to all of you for a great product. We started at 8AM (90 degrees temp) and finished at 1:30PM (94 degrees temp). I gotta tell you at those temps that epoxy doesn't provide much of a work window but I went into the work with that in mind so all was well.
I just thought you might like to see the result of a job.
Thanks again, Tom Hagerman
Just want to let you know my 3 car garage came out great!!!! The blue color was much darker than is shown on your chart but it turned out fine. As advertised I have had no "hot tire pickup” returned home yesterday from a drive from San Diego thru Yuma (110) and phoenix 109 with some really hot tires...no problems...

I purchased your product and finished my garage. What a great product! It looks great and the instructions were easy to follow. I know 18 hours for light and 24 hours for heavy foot traffic. When is it ok to roll my race car back inside the garage?
Thank you!
D. Markos
Great product, I just bought 7 full kits from u guys I was really impressed with your product, first time I used it, I was doubting your product at first but all changed after I applied it. I would like to know how to get some type of catalog of your product, or samples.
Thank you!

Hey Jamie,
Your product directions were straightforward. The application of them, along with your product were actually quite simple. Epoxy Coat, and the results of using it, were brilliant. My daughter's room came out amazing! So amazing that I have two garage floor requests in the spring.
Thank you so much, Philipe Landru
Hi, here are some photos of your product. We build emergency vehicles and after a lot of research we found that this was the best product for heavy vehicles or just light foot traffic. The main key was a clean floor which was easy since it was all mew concrete. You can use the pics for advertising if you wish. if you want i will have a ladder truck in soon also and could send you a pic of that as well. Maybe you could just put a little note provided by 911 Rapid Response....

What a nice job!
Just finished assisting a friend of mine (Peter Murray) who bought one of your kits and we are impressed. We did not expect the results we achieved with your product. Preparation was the important part. After that we tackled the epoxy the next morning and within a matter of hours we were finished and ready to eat lunch off of the garage floor. You have an excellent product and your instructions are excellent.
P.S. Have attached a few photos for your use.
Thanks for sending out the paint flakes to me so fast. I think you had them here the next day! They worked great. I painted the floor black with the white and red flakes. It looks AWESOME!!! I over estimated how much I would need however. I still have a bag of white and a bag of red paint flakes that are unopened. Can I return them for a refund? Please let me know if I can and what I need to do. Thanks. Merry Christmas!
Thanks,

Dear Jamie @ Epoxy Coat,
I just want to say thank you for working with me and helping me out with a problem that was my fault. Your willingness to help customers is outstanding and enough to have me recommend Epoxy-Coat.com to anyone contemplating using an epoxy finish. In addition, I would like to add that my garage floor looks fantastic.
Thanks,

I want you to know the Christine McGuire is a valued asset to your company. I recently purchased the Epoxy Coat product from the website. I had some issues with the color that was originally sent, but I called Christine on
Saturday and she was so helpful. I was in a panic to get the project completed before I went out of town. She got the correct color sent out immediately. I received the replacement within three days. I could not have asked for any better service. Please be sure that she knows that her hard work is greatly appreciated.
Also, I love the product. After the prep work, my husband and I put it down in about 3 hours. It worked great and the finished product is amazing. I have attached a photo of the finished product.
Thank you!

Just applied Epoxy-coat to my garage floor and it looks incredible. I attached picture of finished product. I just purchased this home about 2 months ago (new construction) and the contractor had placed down one of those "epoxy" coatings you purchase at local hardware store. The day that we closed on the house, and parked the car in the garage the tires pulled up the coating immediately. Since then I had to rent a floor grinder to scrape up the old epoxy, and prepare for a real product. I am excited to see how it turns out after full cure. Just emailing to let you know product was very easy to install, and customer service answered all questions that arose. Also as I was installing the developer of my up and coming neighborhood stopped by to find out what I was doing in my garage, he loved how it looked and copied down Epoxy-coat information so that he can install Epoxy-coat in the homes in the neighborhood.
Great product!

Hi Jamie,
I received my Epoxy-Coat sample, thank you.
You had expressed some concerns about not knowing how pool chemicals would react to your product. Here are some things I have done with the sample so far with relation to my pool predicament. I used a two part epoxy to glue three 3" PVC pipes to the sample and filled the tubes with common pool chemicals in their concentrated forms. In one pipe I tested a 12.5% sodium hypochlorite solution (liquid chlorine), in the next I tested muriatic acid which is 31.45% hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid) in water, and in the third I tested pure (100%) cyanuric acid (chlorine stabilizer), a liquid pool water clarifier (ingredients unknown) and 68% calcium hypochlorite (a powdered rapid pool chlorinator). After seven days the 12.5% sodium hypochlorite solution caused the test sample to discolor to a light yellow color, similar to the color of the concentrated solution. The muriatic acid etched into some of the epoxy flakes on the sample slightly but did not appear to have any effect on the coating itself. The collection of 'other' pool chemicals deposited some scale on the sample but did not seem to harm the sample in any way.
I am satisfied enough with these results to start repair work on my pool in preparation for coating the pool in Epoxy-Coat. I will probably order 2 full kits in the next week or so after I have patched some holes.
Thanks again for your help, J. Armstrong
Hi Jamie!
Just wanted to let you know that my garage floor turned out great! I really appreciate the help from you. I just got home from work (evening shift sucks!) and parked my truck in the garage for the first time and was very happy. I've gotten alot of compliments. Keep up the good work, and thanks again!

I suggested we have a party for my 10yr olds winning baseball team in the Garage yesterday. My wife flipped at the Garage part at first, and then
all of the compliments started flying. All of the ladies at the party kept telling their husbands that Bill did it himself.... nothing to it, Ladies.
Anyway, my stock is up pretty high in the neighborhood and you should get ½ dozen sales out of it as I have whipped your garage floor paints website
around to those that asked. Now my wife wants a ping pong table and to hang some pictures in the garage. Looks like your $300 Epoxy Coat garage
floor coating is going to cost me $1,000!!!
It is really beautiful.
Thanks, again.

Hello Mr. Epoxy-coat President,
I am writing this letter to let you know how much I appreciate Jamie. The very nice lady that answered all my questions. I have purchased your product and done my garage this past weekend. Jamie answered every question I had. In my opinion you have a very fine employee. As you don’t see this often in this day in age. I truly think she needs rewarded! I hope you do so!
What a great product you have and a GREAT Employee!

Hi!!! My wife and I own a boarding kennel and raise our own Labrador retrievers. We built our first kennel about seven years ago. We thought out every
detail from stall drains in a gutter sloped to one end of the building to having the right slope for each kennel stall. I came up with the idea for each stall to have a ten foot run outside. The door opening was designed with rollers on the sides that lift up and latch securely so in the summer the dogs can come and go as they please. Well, we thought we had everything covered. Never imagined that over this seven year period we had to paint and paint and paint until we were sick of it. All in all we put at least ten - twelve coats of paint on our kennel floor. We both started looking for another type of covering for our floor. We found the product called epoxy coat. What a savior this was. We stripped off the old floor paint and followed the easy to use instructions and now we have a floor durable enough to be hosed daily and sanitized daily without worry. The look is so attractive and the folks at epoxy coat were very helpful. We would recommend this product to anyone with a kennel like us that our at wits end trying to figure out what to put on your floor. This product is it, as you need not look any further.
Thanks!

Thanks for your tips on the phone, your product was fantastic, everything was exactly as advertised! Please see the couple before and after pictures attached. It was incredibly easy to mix and apply and even out, each section blended perfectly. WAY better than the Rustoleum product I used in our basement shop. Feel free to use these comments/pictures on your web site, I will definitely recommend Epoxy-coat to anyone looking to epoxy their concrete. Thanks again.

I received my 3 kit order of Epoxy-Coat on 5/23/2008, opened all three kits and checked lot numbers to make sure that they were all the same per the instructions. I spent all day on 5/24 prepping the floor and let it dry for 2 days. I started at 0930 on 5/26 applying Epoxy-Coat. I was truly amazed on how easy it was to apply. Following the instructions on every step all went very well. I finished the 1400sf garage doing the work by myself (and by the way I'm 66 years old), in seven hours. My wife was amazed on how well the floor looked. Before I decided to purchase Epoxy-Coat, I spent several hours on the computer researching different brands, I'm sure glad that I purchased Epoxy-Coat.
I am very satisfied with your product. Thanks!
Tom
I've just purchased and applied Epoxy-Coat to my 1100+ sq. ft. garage and WOW, what a difference. I live in a high-end condo complex and my garage floor is the envy of all.
Thanks for the great product and I really enjoy showing it off to all my neighbors and friends...

On behalf of my wife Cheryl and myself, we wish to thank you again for the outstanding job your company did in coating our garage floor. Never has it looked better and the outcome far exceeded our expectation. Your install team was both professional and courteous, left the job site clean and answered all of our questions regarding the install. My only regret is that we did not have this done sooner.
I also wanted to thank you for the service you provided. We had a lot of choices when if came to product and installation, we’re glad we chose Epoxy-Coat for our garage. Feel free to use us as a reference and again thanks for a job well done.
Sincerely,

Good Morning, My floor has been down now for one year and I am still thrilled every time that I look at it. There has been no deterioration in the shine and the smooth surface is as good as it was the day that I put it down.
In the year since I have done this I have helped three neighbors and friends put the floors down in their garages with the same excellent results. All that a purchaser has to do is to prepare the floor as you instruct and they will also end up with a floor that they can be proud of.
Thank you so much for this product.
D. Orbin
My epoxy-coat has been installed for 6 months now in my garage. Through the winter I have washed it down several times just with a garden hose and broom. All the salt, sand, gravel, and what ever else that came off my cars during the winter washed up with little effort, and looks like new. Even the rust marks came off with a little lacquer thinner. Can't tell you how pleased I am with your product.

We recently used your product on our garage floor with awesome results! Everyone who has seen the floor is in love with your product! We cannot praise your product enough and the best customer service that we have ever experienced! Jamie was patient and went beyond our wildest expectations in answering and offering help over the phone.
We have strongly recommended your product and company to everyone we know. Thanks again.
Jim & Candace
Just a short note to let you know how satisfied I am with the Epoxy floor covering. We needed three kits to cover the 1200sf shop. we applied the epoxy to "new" concrete. We coated the floor after the shop was completed. Before anything was on the floor this made it easier as the floor was clean.
The shop is located in Luna, New Mexico at an elevation of 7000 ft. We will be moving there from California in about a month. Furniture will be stored in the shop while we build our retirement home. Then shop will be used to build custom / replica street rods. Any one wanting to see flooring is welcome to stop by and look.
Thanks

I have recently finished coating my 3 car garage, with your Epoxy-Coat kits. It was much easier than I thought to install, and the coated garage floor now looks like “A Show Room“what a difference, Clean and so much brighter. My wife can’t believe the improvement.
Jamie and your staff answered all of my questions, prior to installation, which made me feel confident when I started. Having all of the product and tools in kit form made it a “No brainer” I will now help my friends with there installations.
Thank you all, you have a great product.
Sincerely,

I purchased 1 and 1/2 kits of your epoxy for use in a men's and ladies restrooms and an outside covered/enclosed patio.
This epoxy is a excellent product. It flows and levels even better than we anticipated or expected. How refreshing to buy a product unseen and have it perform even better than we expected. We are completely satisfied with the finish and have had many members of our club bragging on us about how good a job we did. We did not mention that the product almost puts itself down. It is very easy to work with.
Thanks,
J. Bolin
I applied the epoxy-coat to my double garage floor, and it looks great. I have had many compliments on the way it looks from friends and neighbors.

To whom it may concern:
I am a fan of your product, I first used the quikrete epoxy garage floor paint on my basement floor and did it in the light blue and ordered paint chips online to match what I wanted you didn't have the blue paint chips mixture at the time and now I see you do that is great and it was alright at the time that you didn’t have a selection of colors, well my basement floor turned out awesome thanks to your product, then I didn’t know what to do about my basement stairway, I wanted it to match the floor, so I called your company and they explained to me that I couldn't use the epoxy on wood because wood has a tendency to contract and expand and said it would crack, and said I should probably get an enamel or latex, so I primed the stairway, then painted it and sprinkled the flakes on the stairway and the entire floor and stairway looks like linoleum, looks beautiful.
So then I wanted to do my from porch the same way so I cleaned it got all the old glue and everything off it from the indoor outdoor carpeting, patched the big and small holes in the cement , prepped it with the cleaner.
I painted it the pretty green you have in the Garage floor epoxy and sprinkled it with the flakes and it also turned out beautiful, I have an awning over the front porch so I feel it should be protected on the most part from any bad weather. It grabbed the cement well!
I want to thank you for the products you have out there and will recommend it to anyone that wants to do there garage, basement or another area that they want to paint that is cement.
