Selected this product after a lot of research on expoxy for my back basement area floor. This area includes laundry room and bathroom all with concrete floor. The floor had numerous abrasions and a few different kinds of paint as well as tile and mastic in spots. All of that has to be properly handled prior to painting.
If you FOLLOW the directions on surface preparation you will have no problem using this kit. Do not sidestep or take shortcuts. Do the prep work! Note this is a multiple day activity, so plan accordingly.

When I finally had the floor prepped and started coating, the paint rolled on easily with a roller and tray and dried fairly quickly.

Couple of notes:
1. I was worried about not having enough flakes so went light in the first area painted. This was a mistake, there were plenty of flakes. You can also buy more at your local hardware store.
2. After coating a darker area I noticed I didn't quite have enough paint on the floor. Barely noticeable, but be sure your roller has enough paint. I didn't see this until dry.
3. I had a lot of paint leftover. This is because I coated an area with a lot of stuff that needed moving and only so much space to move items. I had more than enough to cover another area with a fridge, treadmill and storage, but had no place to move while initial areas dried. By the time floor was dried to move items back the epoxy mixture was no longer useable (about 24 hrs or so to use). Plan accordingly if you have to move many large or heavy items.

Ultimately the job went fairly smoothly and I'm happy with the result. Will likely buy another kit to finish remainder of area.

It was more than enough to do a 2 car garage with one coat. And 1 coat seems to be all it needs. I did my garage in sections so I could move stuff around and do a little every other day. A mix ratio of 20 ounces to 3 ounces gave me a perfect match of color from section to section. I also used a 6 inch small diameter foam roller, those big nap rollers soak up so much paint and I didn't want to waste any. As far as prep goes, I really just swept and vacuumed the floor. I didn't mop or acid wash it, and so far everything is great. We'll see what happens over time as we start parking the car on it.

After about a week we started sliding stuff across the floor, including a few steel shelves ,and didn't see any scratches. It seems to be really tough. I would certainly recommend this stuff.

I used this product on a 150-year-old basement floor. The floor was very uneven and rough. In one room I had to strip old paint off the floor using a 3200psi pressure washer and chemical stripper for several rounds. I also used the Epoxy-Shield Concrete Resurfacer in this room to fill in some of the major pockets, divots, pitting, and unevenness. I put on two coats which filled in the worse of it, but did not completely smooth the surface (as advertised by the product since it is just for light spalling and pitting). I was fine with this since I was not going for a look-like-new smooth surface.
I then used the Epoxy Shield Concrete Etch in both the newly resurfaced room as well as the rest of the floor. This was easy enough to use and clean off.
I bought the Epoxy Shield Basement Floor Kit (Gray with blue/black/white decorative ships) to apply epoxy on the floor. I measured out the floor areas and divided it into smaller sections. I then took all the decorative chips, and using a kitchen scale, separated them into proportional groups so I knew how many to apply to each section so as to make sure I had enough and that I applied a consistent amount everywhere. The epoxy was easy to apply using a Wooster Brush Epoxy Glide Roller Cover, however since it was only 1/4" nap and I had a very rough floor, I had to fill some spots in with a brush (as well as all the edges). The instructions state to apply epoxy in 4ft x 4ft sections and then toss the chips. If you try larger sections, the epoxy starts to dry and the chips may not stick as well to it. The epoxy did go on a lot thinner than I was expecting and therefore, because of my rough floor, after it dried many chips were sticking up or had corners sticking up from the surface.
Therefore, I read some reviews online and decided to try using the Epoxy Shield Premium Clear Coating. It was a little more expensive but I definitely wanted to put a clear coating of some kind over the epoxy and chips and decided at this point to just stick with the same brand. The clear coating was very easy to use, I didn't even need to use a brush for the edges, just the roller. This time I just used a basic painting 3/8" nap. I used the anti-sliding additive that came with the kit and just made sure to mix the can every time before I poured into my roller tray. It went on really easily and much quicker than the epoxy. Note the smell is quite strong, so recommend opening windows if possible while applying.
The end result was very nice, exactly what I was hoping for. The clear coating sealed up all the chips with the epoxy and gave it a nice finished look. See pictures attached, including zoomed-in views on the rough uneven floor.

Our house was built in 1969. The basement is big and open, but sure has a lot of settlement cracks in the floor.
I wanted to paint the basement floor to double up our living space. We have a busy 6 yr old, and extra space is always welcome.

I read many reviews before buying this product and considered BEHRR brand at Home Depot, but there were too many steps involved...clean, prime, paint, seal...
Also the Epoxy brand at Home Depot was only for garages and the kits were $108.00 each.

First we filled the settlement cracks with a masonry floor filler, we didn't sand the floor (probably should have but didn't care about making it "perfect", and didn't want to spread lead dust if there was any), then we scrubbed the floor clean with TSP. The floor cleaned up well.

The paint arrived within 3 days of me ordering it, the seller was great. We went with the blue/gray color as it matches our laundry tub and support beams in the house.

You have to mix the epoxy with the paint and wait 30 minutes before use. For some reason that annoyed me. I'm not patient by nature and thought I could just open the stuff and start working. Either way, not a deal breaker on using this product.

Our basement is 1320 sq ft, and I bought 3 cans of this paint, knowing I will likely need to buy 1-2 more. We've had to start painting in sections because the space is so big. One can covered approximately 289 sq ft, it covered in one coat, the flakes are easy to use and adhere well. We used ½ inch nap rollers, and I used disposable foam 3" brushes for cutting in the edges, (mainly because once you use epoxy cleaning it off a brush is a nightmare) When you use the flakes, I suggest raising your hand as high in the air as possible and tossing them as if you're sprinkling confetti. The floor took about 9 hours to be "light foot" traffic dry. I'm pretty sure we are going to buy the "non-slip" additive to put around the laundry area, this paint is slippery if it gets wet.
It took my husband and I about 40 minutes to do 289 sq ft, it was a simple application, and the results are well worth it.

I just hope as we proceed with the other cans that the paint will blend well. That's the only current concern.

But we are very happy with how it's looking so far and can't wait to finish. I'm hoping it holds up for many years as other consumers stated it did for them. I'd suggest this product to anyone stating they want to paint their basement floor.

My laundry room floor looked horrible before using this. I'm talking concrete floor where the previous owners had tried to salvage any look by putting down linoleum. They ended up ripping up the flooring and leaving the concrete behind with the marks from the glue on the flooring. I hated the way it looked and used this to cover any trace of the previous flooring. It looks so much better.
