.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
RockSolid
®
Metallic Garage Floor Coating is designed to
provide excellent hardness, adhesion and durability on
properly prepared concrete floors. It has excellent
resistance to salt, oil, gasoline and other harsh chemicals.
Garage Coat has zero VOCs making it environmentally
safe and is packaged in pouches, which reduces waste.
This product combines the key attributes from multiple
chemistries to provide a self-leveling, flexible, fast curing,
high gloss system.
RockSolid Metallic Garage Floor Coating can be applied
over multiple floor surfaces including tile. (Contact
RockSolid Floors for more information). The surface
should be free of loose particles, rust, oils and
contaminants. It is recommended that this product be
applied in a multi-directional (north, south, east and west)
motion to help ensure proper coating thickness.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Proper surface preparation is critical to achieve best
results. Scrub heavily soiled areas with Rust-Oleum Heavy
Duty Degreaser or Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser (sold
separately). Scrub thoroughly, then rinse. Repeat as
needed. TION
Use the supplied concrete etch per the instructions to
provide the proper surface condition to ensure proper
adhesion. Rinse the floor thoroughly and allow it to dry
completely.
Moisture Testing - New concrete should be allowed to
cure for 30 days before application of any coating. If there
is any doubt about the dryness of the concrete, conduct a
test by simply taping a piece of 4 mil plastic sheet 2’x2’ on
the bare concrete for 24 hours. Be sure to tape all four
sides. After 24 hours, check the concrete for signs of
moisture. The concrete substrate will be darker if damp. If
moisture is found, allow additional drying time (10-14
days) and repeat the test.
Testing for Sealer - Check for curing compounds or other
types of sealers by pouring a small amount of water onto
the concrete. If water soaks in, the surface is suitable for
coating. If water beads up on the concrete, the surface is
not porous and a test application is warranted to ensure
proper adhesion will develop. Sanding or mechanical
abrading may be required if proper adhesion does not
develop.
Previously Coated Floors - Previously coated floors
need to be in good condition with proper adhesion to the
concrete substrate. Check the adhesion of the previous
coating by cutting a small X in the coating using a sharp
razor knife. Firmly apply a piece of 5” duct tape over the
center of the X cut, and then pull off with a fast snap. If
more than 10% of the taped area is removed, the original
coating is not bonded well and needs to be removed
chemically or mechanically with a grinder.
