2 pac is expensive to do it right. it will last a long time, but it will fade. we paint the floor every yeah with paving paint, broom roller. takes about an hour and a half.

yeh and an e34 as well belongs to a tenant that will stay as i pay less tax during the purchase. but i might keep him for further tax breaks if we can work something out . I have to go away for work so it would be helpful for security if he was there a bit when I'm not

Congrats my friend!

IIRC, we used the basic kit from HD. And just re-seal every 1.5 to 2 years. We used non-slip along aisles and walkways, but left the areas underneath the cars and/or trucks slick for easier clean-up in case of spills. Also, we caulked the seam/joint around the border (between wall and floor) and rolled it up to 18"...makes it easier for containment and/or wash down

Not sure if this is available in Australia, but we did a small section of our plant with and the finishes are awesome.

Also Sherwin Williams has a strong product offering, IIRC it is called ArmourSeal. They have a high-solids one that we have used as well in an industrial application.

Stonclad, check it out here

We installed it in a BMW, MB and a Porsche/Audi dealership we are builing. The floors look amazing and they are holding very well.

A little pricey, but it will last forever.
