Yes….MrCTom…old paint does need to be stripped before top coating.
Ive used Lowes’ Seal-Krete Epoxy seal and it lasted a decade or so.
My PPG store manager said they used the Breakthrough line for painting their store floor and its lasted about a decade. Ive never used it.
Personally I dont like epoxied or painted concrete garage floors because when it gets a spill of some sort…its been slicker than snot and a bigger safety hazard than without.
Clear spills seem harder to see too when the floor is painted. Another safety concern for me.

Thats why I used less flakes and also applied a non skid to it. Kinda of like a sugar coating. Helps with the floor being slick.

It's not cheap but it has a limited lifetime warranty and is 4x stronger that epoxy floors. Tell them Chase sent you for a discount. This stuff lasts up to 20yrs
Got another group I found on Google with 4.8 stars and if I remember correctly, 500+ ratings.
Really appreciate all the advice folks. Thank you.

My epoxy floor took 3 days in Dec of '02. Contractor and I placed it together. Zero peel-ups and our SUV and Truck are inside and on it all day. I hot mop it every Spring to make it sparkle again. $3/sqft
2 neighbors have the HD self application routes. All peeled up by second year where tires sit and traffic areas. Will be a lot more steps to remove and clean it for right product
I may just tile my garage on next house.

Turned out good CTOM
If anyone else decides to get their garage, front, back porch, sidewalk basically anything that's concrete, let me know and I'll give them a heads up. You can use my name to get a discount as well.

DaveC it was $2700, but that was with the "I know a former employee," and cash discounts. Another quote i got was $2500, but honestly if the salesman was any representation of their work, I would not have been happy. Seth with LS Conecrete was great to work with.
I think I'll stick with my custom oil splotched montage for now.
Each stain tells a story of a missed oilpan or failure to extract oil filter in the prefect fashion.
I'll leave rewriting my homes history to the next owners.
For now, unless I get a wild hair.
