We bought our latest house about a year ago. It has a 3 car garage and the floor was painted at one point. They used Behr Garage Floor paint, they left a can behind. It's peeled and chipped all over and looks really bad.

Does anybody know what my options are for getting it to a good clean condition? Not sure if it'd be better to paint over it, try to clean it off or have some professionals come in. Any idea how much it would cost to have it epoxied?

Thanks!

You're going to have to grind that paint off.

Similar issue here, most likely they didn't acid prep the floor so it never really adheres to the concrete.

Mine did that, hit it with a high pressure water washer and it knocked it all out, of course theres a ton of clean up but the pressure washer did the trick.

If not its going to have to be ground off, then sand off the surface, acid prep and install properly.

Expose the concrete. Etch with acid. Allow to fully dry. Paint with epoxy. It's a crazy amount of effort but anything less will fail.

Power washer with the scrubbing attachment should lift it pretty easily.
Have a friend that bought that thingy and it does a number.
The thing looks like a commercial floor scrubber bottom.

Bt/Dt...
Pretty much what everyone else said.

Pressure washer, toss in a little de-greaser, let it dry. Etch the floor really well.

Pressure wash it again to get any remaining acid off. Let it dry completely, then reseal it.

Rustolium makes a good product. My only additional advice would be if you're up north, where it snows/freeze, triple up on the silica sand / no skid sand. Extra bags can be found at Home Depot. Once that he gets cold, it gets really slippery. That extra grit helps a lot. It's a pain in the butt to stir, But well worth it in the end.

Be very careful with Muriatic acid, it's super nasty stuff.

Must get to bare concrete. Then follow directions on whatever use. I have been through this. First get a quote from a pro then make your decision.

clean etch, use bonding primer

8/10 people that use the 1 part epoxy don’t do a couple things...

#1. Use the bonding primer
#2. Remove the etched Portland powder off the surface entirely. I always recommend a thorough wet rinse, followed by using a blower once dry
