Blah...Blah...Blah....boring garage walls and floor.....time to spice up the room and electrify the Neighborhood!

Notice the 'shine' on the garage floor...someone had 'sealed' it......taboo if you want to apply epoxy......this will call for extra Muriatic Acid to get thru the sealer...

MAGIC! The neighbors started crowding in to see what in the heck was going on.....you can almost hear Bob Marley in the background.......2 hours later...and a lot of Paint-Slinging.......the walls are bright.....and the trim is now White....
what a diffence a few dollars makes.....
we are 'blow-drying' the new paint and the slab also....now it's time to get ready for the Bob Marley "Acid-Trip".....

Alright Reggae Fans...we swept the floors...we Mopped the floors with the concentrated 'concrete etcher' that came with the Epoxy Floor Kit...but on the extra GREASE SPOTS you have to go deep.... notice that the 'shine' on the floor is gone...the 'etcher' did that......now we gotta call in the 'Hero's............don your Gas Masks.....MURIATIC ACID IS COMING.........

now....this can be bought at any Home Improvement or Supply Store....sometimes you find it in the Pool Cleaning Department....it will clean your pool like clorine.....NOW JUST IMAGINE....watch this stuff work and then know that you can pour this in your pool for that 'crystal clear' water..... Yep, that's about as good as 'when the bear attacks...roll up in the fetal position'.......yeah, uh huh..........I'll follow your lead!
don't try this at home....but if you do.....wear a mask.....see the 'bubbles'.....the acid is digging down into the concrete and etching the grease away...
you will see smoke and fumes....and hear little crackling noises....(still wanna swim with this..?)
this is used in the custom concrete staining projects too....you do a super etch..and then 'stain' the concrete and clear seal it.....it's awesome! (and yes....expensive!)
now we are ready...after mopping off the acid and water-rinsing...we begin mixing the Epoxy with the 'resin' and watch the colors pop....
stir for 10 minutes....let sit for 30 minutes...then quick stir again......believe it..this is enough for a 1 car garage...so we bought 2 kits for the double garage...
this will be a Sand color...so Tiffany starts cutting in....you do a 2' x 10 section and then 'sprinkle'.....then keep going....
remember...colors change when drying....don't judge your paint matching by the wet stuff.....
now we are almost done...see the colors chnge......and see the sprinkles right up to the apron that I'm doing now...
applying the sprinkles to the wet stuff....see how fast epoxy is drying....walk on in 24 hours...drive on in 48 hours... (notice the side of my shoe and pants......oh well...)
the final area to be done....ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE........All the neigbors are now singing Reggae....and the orders are adding up.....NO MORE 'BLAH' GARAGE........WE GOT 'BLINGGGGGGGGG'
