Best Industrial Coatings of 2025

"I did a lot of research on YouTube about this product and found it worked very well. I purchased the 2.5 car kit along with extra flakes and grit for slippage. By applying the product in sections in my garage, I was able to manage the coverage better. The first section turned out great, but I did run out of sealant for the second half, which left it looking patchy. However, I learned from that experience and was careful during the second application, ensuring everything looked fantastic in the end. I managed to cover my 400 sq. ft. garage without needing an extra kit!"

"This is the second house I've used this product on. The first was in Colorado, where I made a few minor mistakes, but it held up beautifully. Before moving into my new house, I applied it to the garage, and it transformed the space completely. I even added LED lighting, which looks amazing at night. Preparation is key—I recommend watching some YouTube videos on the application process. Overall, I’m really pleased with how it turned out!"

"The product gives my garage floor a gorgeous finish, but I’m curious to see how well it holds up over time. One downside was the two black application rollers, which broke halfway through. Luckily, I had a 10mm roller handy that worked perfectly to finish the job. Given the high price, I think it would be fair for the manufacturer to include more rollers in each kit."

"After extensive research, I chose this product. I painted two garages and was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of flakes. I initially applied the first coat too thin, but the second coat made everything look absolutely perfect. I recommend using a thick coat for better results."

"I appreciate all the instructions provided, especially from Andrew Rickel! It took effort to gather materials, but we followed a detailed process. We had a great time working together, and the final result on our new garage floor is stunning. No issues at all since we completed it!"

"Using 1.5 kits for my 23x35 foot garage was perfect. The etching worked well, and the coverage was impressive. The grey color looks great with the flakes!"

“I absolutely love this product! It applies thickly and lays down smoothly, plus it's incredibly durable. I can weld directly over it without any issues. Highly recommend!”

“This is my go-to product after using it three times. It holds up beautifully even in harsh conditions. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but with the right prep, it’s worry-free.”

“I've used this stuff about twenty times now, and it lays down perfectly and covers a lot of area. I even managed to do an entire engine bay and inner fenders on my project car with it!”

"I remodeled my garage and it turned out great. The instructions were clear and direct, which removed any guesswork. The kit had almost everything I needed, and I was satisfied with the professional look at a fraction of the cost."

"Using the ArmorPoxy kit for my garage was a fantastic experience. The instructions were well-written and provided helpful hints. My garage now looks as good as professionally installed floors, but at 3-4 times lower cost. I highly recommend it!"

"I found the ArmorPoxy kit to be amazing. The hardest part was the prep work. I rented a diamond wheel grinder, and it was perfect for my 550 sq.ft space. The finish is great, but next time, I might use a bit less anti-skid powder for a smoother feel."

"I applied two coats with a sprayer to OSB in less than 90 minutes. It went on just as advertised, and I never want to find out if it works or not!"

"I mixed a full gallon of this with a little less than a gallon of latex paint for my basement beams. After waiting 24 hours, it worked as described—didn't burn and hardly even smoked. It made the paint super thin and watery, which caused drips everywhere, so I had to mask things off. It took five coats to cover the old colors, but I'm glad I found this product to avoid wrapping everything in drywall."

"I had to buy this to pass my life safety inspection. We applied the master fire on all beams for fire resistance. One coat provides a 30-minute fire rating, and I was pleased with how it performed."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of Por-15. After treating the rusty areas of my Saab, I found that it removed rust down to bare metal and left a protective patina. The multi-step system really works if you follow the directions carefully, and I feel confident that my car will last for many more winters."

"After spending hours preparing the undercarriage of my truck, I decided to use this etching solution before applying the Por-15 sealant. It definitely changed the appearance of the metal, although I did have to deal with some white residue afterwards. Overall, my project turned out great, and I believe this product is essential for a good rust prevention process."

"As a college student working on my 99 Jeep Cherokee, I wanted to tackle the rust issue without breaking the bank. I found that using Por-15 on the rust spots and a more affordable bed liner on the rest saved me money. The paint dried to a hardened surface and effectively sealed the rust. I am confident this will last for the life of my Jeep."

"I wasn't sure how well it would perform on my broom finished floor, and I skipped the primer as recommended. However, after prepping thoroughly and applying the epoxy, I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome."

"With several companies in my city charging high prices, I turned this into a DIY summer project. After applying the cleaning agent and waiting overnight, I applied the epoxy and sprinkles quickly. The results were fantastic, and I've had friends and family express interest in this product after seeing my garage's before and after shots."

"As someone who was inexperienced with painting, I handed the kit to a friend who managed to complete the job without any issues. I am very pleased with the look and ease of use, and I’m now ordering more to tackle the other bathrooms."

"I recently used the EpoxyShield Premium Floor Coating Kit for my 2.5 car garage. While the finish looks fantastic, I found that the coverage was significantly less than advertised. I ended up needing four kits to cover the entire floor, so my advice is to plan accordingly. The drying time is incredibly fast, so you need to work quickly to ensure an even finish. Overall, it's a decent product, but be prepared to buy more kits than you expect and move fast when applying!"

"After applying two coats of Rust-oleum EpoxyShield with flakes to my 800 sq ft garage floor, I decided to add a clear coat. I was thrilled to find that I could cover the entire area with just one box! It took me just one hour, and the application process was straightforward. I learned a lot along the way, especially about the importance of applying a thin layer for maximum coverage. The shine is incredible, and I’m confident this will protect my floor for years to come!"

"I purchased the Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield Premium Floor Coating Kit and was impressed with the results. The coating applied smoothly and evenly, giving my garage floor a durable and professional finish. I appreciated the clear instructions provided, making the whole process user-friendly. The coating is resistant to chemicals, stains, and abrasions, which is perfect for my high-traffic garage. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to upgrade their floor."

"After I applied epoxy in my detached garage, I was disappointed with the yellowing due to UV exposure. I decided to try this product, and it's amazing. It goes on easier, looks better, and is extremely durable. My floor has been down for about 3 years, and it looks as good as it did when new. I did an epoxy base with full flake coverage, and then topped it with this. Prep is key; rent a floor grinder and do it right, and you can't beat this stuff off with a hammer."

"I used the MPC100 black base with carbon flake, and the result is amazing. Following the instructions to a T is essential, but the product does exactly what it promises. It's definitely not a 1-person job, and the outcome depends largely on your prep work, but it gives a very luxurious finish."

"Using this as a glossy top coat over the Rustoleum FastKote polyurea, which was heavily chipped with 'Domino' style flakes, helped achieve a true granite look. I even sprinkled some 'Crystal' glitter to enhance traction and sparkle. I applied it all with a 3/8" nap roller on an adjustable extension pole, and while I worried about running out of material due to the listed 30 min pot life, I ended up having plenty of leftover material. Just remember to clean up with Xylene/Xylol and wear safety glasses and chemical-resistant gloves!"
