Since Jeep folks are generally the DIY types I figure someone here has done garage floor coatings before. When I was in the military we called it PRC, but I think its just called epoxy coating in the hardware stores.

Basically its that multi step stuff that you throw some base layer down, then paint it and add some paint flakes if you want to give it a speckle look, then finish it off with a thick layer of epoxy.

Has anyone done one (or several) of these and how hard are they to do? I have a 2 car garage but its kind of narrow (late 70s construction) and I really want to do this to mine. I am familiar with doing things myself and can typically handle just about anything but this seems like it may be easy to mess up. Thoughts? Hire a pro? Or is it really as simple as just "painting" your garage floor with multiple layers?

I want to do something like the photo below except I plan on putting a big Jeep vinyl sticker or paint a Jeep logo in the center prior to putting down the epoxy top coat....maybe do some Rubicon logo or Rubicon font inspired lettering type of thing.

Lastly, what about maintenance? I dont plan on waxing my garage often (or ever....)....is it going to look like **** if its not maintained every couple of months?

I had my floor done professionally a couple of weeks ago. The only part that was real time consuming was the initial cleaning of the floor. They cleaned it with a pressure washer and some type of cleaner, then used muratic acid on the floor, then hit it again with the pressure washer. Once dry, they put one coat of epoxy down. That dried for 2 days, then another coat of epoxy with flakes. That dried, then two coats of clear coat on separate days. Putting the epoxy and clear coats on only took about an hour for each coat.

not willing to leave my cars outside for that amount of time and for easier self maintenance and design options I am going with tiles
