How to Apply BEHR PREMIUM^® 1-Part Epoxy Concrete & Garage Floor Paint

How to Coat a Garage Floor

1. 

   Step 1
   

   Once the surface is cleaned, prepped and primed, apply the epoxy floor paint. Make sure to stir the paint before applying. Apply a thin, even layer using a 3/8" nap roller cover, a pad applicator or a nylon-polyester brush. 

2. 

   Step 2
   

   Cut-in using a brush to coat the perimeter of the surface area that is next to the wall.

3. 

   Step 3
   

   Apply the stain, using long even strokes.  Apply in one direction to avoid lap lines. Apply the stain when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90 degrees F. Since concrete varies in texture and porosity, 2 coats may be required for uniform appearance.

   建议：The spread rate on a rough surface is approximately 300-400 sq. ft and on a smooth surface, 400-500 sq. ft.

4. 

   Step 4
   

   Allow the first coat to dry for at least 4-6 hours before re-coating, if necessary. Apply the second coat in a criss-cross direction for uniformity of appearance. Do not apply more than 2 coats.

   建议：Use soap and water for any clean-up.

5. 

   Step 5
   

   The surface must be fully cured before use.

   Allow 24 hours for light foot traffic.
   Allow 72 hours for heavy foot traffic and furniture.
   Allow 7 days before subjecting to automotive tires.
   Allow 30 days before rinsing or cleaning with a mild detergent.

   建议：Premature heavy traffic will cause paint failure which will require spot re-coating. If necessary, corrugated cardboard may be placed under auto tires after 72 hours.
