I did my last floor in 1995 with a Rustoleum product that I got at Home Depot. There are much better products out there now. I'd recommend either Epo-Armor, or U-Coat-It. They are different products and the prep and application processes are very different. You'll need to carefully evaluate both products to see what will work better for your application.

As far as overspray goes, it's not a big problem. It'll wipe up with a little thinner. Of course, you can't be stupid about it. Don't expect to paint a whole car with no floor protection and wipe off the excess. That's not going to happen. However, if you get a little overspray on the floor by accident, it'll come up.

As far as price goes, I've been back and forth recently with my multiple personalities regarding what I should do with my current floor. If I were to use U-Coat-It, it would run about $1200.00 for 1000 square feet. The Rustoleum I used 11 years ago was 300.00 for roughly 600 square feet.

Prep.....I'm just hoping my present floor isn't beyond prep. It's like a roadmap of all my activities over the past 20 years!
Hopefully I won't miss the history lesson.

Thanks for the info.
