"The preparation for painting an Epoxy Coated floor can be intensive- potentially lasting a period of days. Even then, there is no guarantee the coating will stick. Painting a garage floor involves many variables such as prep-time, humidity, temperature, dry-time, and the skill to do it. Yes, there are so called "Do-It-Yourself" Epoxy kits. However, properly painting a garage floor requires skill that does not come in a kit. And even if one was up to the skill part of painting a garage floor, the numerous steps required for a quality job such as de-greasing, etching, taping, drying and etc. make painting a garage floor less than practical.

Once painted, epoxy is subject to chipping, peeling and cracking, scratches and hot-tire pickup. These normal "wear-and-tear" realities can lead to the reapplication of the paint or tile within a matter of years."

For most people, doing an epoxy floor is too time-consuming, inconvenient (you have to clear out the entire garage for days) and potentially hazardous (toxic fumes from the epoxy require extreme caution, especially with small children and pets).
