I am considering recoating, but I have a lot of research to do, as the garage is now full and it will not be practical to have the existing coating ground off.
Yea, I’ve done mine too myself. Really looked good but I guess I didn’t etched mine well enough. It peeled in a couple small spots, but the epoxy paint stuck better the 2nd time. It said on the can that hot tires wouldn’t peel it but I did it again & again. If you do it yourself get Industrial grade epoxy paint. (sealer) You’ll need a jack hammer to remove it, & it’s quite expensive, but it permanent!
