Concrete Floor Paint - Refinish your floors with Armorpoxy!

Simple Steps to Finishing a Floor with ArmorPoxy Concrete Paint

Armorpoxy can be applied over any existing coating or bare floor. For best results, we do recommend stripping off old unknown finishes or concrete paints prior to applying as ArmorPoxy, like any coating, can only stick to what is under it. We now carry a special high performance stripper for this purpose. User must make sure that if applying to existing coating that this coating must be completely flake free. If not, power wash, and then acid etch with diluted muriatic acid. Remember, Armorpoxy can only adhere to what is under it, so if your present coating is flaking or coming up, it will have to be removed by pressure washing or sandblasting. For applications requiring faster dry times or industrial or commercial heavy duty applications we recommend ArmorUltra or Armorpoxy II.
Bare concrete floor should be etched with our non-acid etch kit, or diluted muriatic acid. This gives a better, longer lasting job and better adhesion.
We recommend for all garage floors that have never been painted or sealed to be pre-treated with our special clear cement floor sealer/bonder. There have been reports of 'hot tire lifting', but we feel that this is normally due to application errors and/or moisture. Also, certain types of concrete can cause this problem. Some types of concrete mixes tend to "dust" on their own. This dusting causes coatings to lift, bubble and peel and for hot tires to easily lift it off. For maximum protection against hot tire lifting use our Armorpoxy II or Armorfleck systems (although more expensive, these products have been tested to prevent hot tire lifting). Armorpoxy has also discovered over the thousands of garage applications using our products that certain newer tire compounds can leave dark marks. This is NOT a problem with the Armorpoxy, but with the tires themselves. In order to keep your garage looking new and gorgeous, we recommend the use of our Tire Parking Pads for the ultimate in long life protection and beauty. The Tire Pads also eliminate the possibility of hot tire lifting.
To determine if you have a moisture problem on your floor before using Armorpoxy concrete paint, take a sheet of clear plastic about 3 x 5 ft square. Tape all of the edges securely to the floor with duct tape. If you see moisture building up under the plastic then you probably have a moisture problem, and may see some minor tire lifting, so you may have to touch up those areas every few years. If you have moisture and experience hot tire lifting, this is not a problem with our product, but due to the moisture, and you will have this same experience with any other coating that you choose. Hot tire lifting is a very difficult problem to stop, as the tires come in at over 175 degrees sometimes. Let them cool before parking is a good idea.
Apply two coats of concrete paint. Allow the first coat of paint to dry for 2 days, then 2nd coat allow to dry for at least one week before driving on it. Some applications may require longer curing times. Higher levels of moisture in the concrete floor or in the air can significantly affect cure time.
If you are concerned about Armorpoxy being too 'slippery' (it's about as slippery as a normal enamel-type paint), you can add our non-skid additive listed on our website.
Coverage is approximately 300 square feet/gallon. 250-300 square feet for uncoated concrete floors due to the 'sponge' effect on the first coat. Concrete block coverage is approximately 200 sq. ft./gal.
Standard colors are listed on our website under the 'FAQ' section. Custom colors are available.
If you want to spray Armorpoxy, it may have to be thinned with standard mineral spirits.
Armorpoxy is only available from the factory directly. Price is $63.95/gallon. Custom colors to match any Benjamin Moore color number is add'l $79.99/gallon. Shipping is $8.99/gallon. Lead-time 2-4 days.
We also offer a garage parking laser aid for 'Dead Accurate' parking of your vehicle, and door bumper guards to protect the door edges of your car doors. To protect your doors and bumpers we also offer parking bumpers.

Cleaning Information

Are grease stains and dirt making your garage floor look like a pit stop at the Indy 500? Fear not. Removing stains from a concrete floor is difficult, but not impossible. Follow these instructions to make your garage floor look new again:

Initially clean your garage or driveway with a pressure washer of at least 2500 psi.

To clean large greasy or oily areas use our special oil/grease emulsifier, which is a super concentrated bio degradable product that you mix with water and then apply to the floor with supplied special brush and rinse. ArmorPoxy emulsifier actually converts the oil out of the slab and "floats it away" into a solution that can be easily rinsed away. Repeated treatments may be necessary for very dirty areas.

Now you are ready to apply ArmorPoxy concrete paint to your newly cleaned floor. ArmorPoxy applied directly to the concrete floor provides a smooth finish that resembles garage floors found at auto dealerships. If you like, you can add our non-skid additive to the mixture to create a better-gripping, slip-resistant surface. Be sure to follow the product's application directions.
