Our 100% solids garage floor epoxy coating with our 100% solids performance top coat will rise to the challenge. We recommend doing a full broadcast of flakes (50 Pounds per 250 Square Feet). We recommend doing the flakes in a solid color, such as light gray or tan to make it easier to find items that have been dropped.
The key here is you have a product that will resist chemicals found when working on cars. Our epoxy will not lift due to hot tires and provides traction while being easy to clean. The full broadcast system is ultra durable and with a solid color it is easy to spot nuts, bolts and parts.
