I used 2 coats of the Professional Rustoleum Epoxyshield. It is solvent based so no primer, and I didn't use the flakes either, its been 5 years and still looks new.

 

I did this exactly, except I used the chips. I did it last fall, looks good.

 

Take a look in the trailer section, i remember seeing a thread about this.

 

I did my garage floor with it and then used what was left over to do the trailer floor. Unfortunately, I came up about 4 feet short. All I did was sweep the floor and use a hand held blower. Rolled it on with a standard paint roller and threw some flakes in it as I went (so I could reach). I have ATV's in and out of it more than vehicles and it still looks pretty damned good. Better than my garage floor actually. That has come off in spots

 

This is what I bought https://www.zoro.com/rust-oleum-floor-coating-kit-2-gal-dark-gray-238467/i/G1936925/ It says solvent based as well.

 

My buddy used truck bedliner spray. Turned out really nice and easy to touch up if it gets scraped etc.

 

I put Epoxycoat down on a plywood porch floor. I went straight to the floor. That was like seven years ago, and it still looks fantastic.

 

With Plywood, you shouldn't need to sand it, but it will make for a flatter surface and might look a little nicer (??). If you're going to use the color-flecks, I would consider clear coating afterward. I have had epoxy-coat in my garage for years, the coating stands up to just about anything, but the flecks will melt if hit with harsh solvents (brake cleaner, carb cleaner, gasoline). clear coating it will encapsulate them. Just re-did my garage this weekend with a clear coat. Looks amazing. Clear coat with Rustoleum Easyclear; it will leave a high-gloss, easy to clean surface.

 

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I'll just apply it directly over the cleaned plywood. I have aluminum strips to put down where the tires will roll/sit to help with the rears pulling the epoxy up, which seems to be a problem if the car sits there a while. I'll try to remember to take some before and after shots.

 

The epoxt grabs the wood way better than concrete. Zero pullup issues in my experiance.


I had a quad slowley leak an entire tank of fuel out over a few days and that caused the epoxy to peel.

 

I used the Rustoleum epoxy paint on my trailer floor when I first got my trailer in Aug of 2014 and I like it so far. All I did was go over the entire floor with a shop vac and painted it with a roller. It's a 28' trailer and used 2 gallon. Last Winter my car sat in the trailer from Oct til April and it never peeled any of it up.

How is this holding up now? I'm about to take delivery on a new 8x16 cargo trailer with engineered plywood floor and want to coat it. Afraid that whatever I put down will peel up and then ruin the floor.

 

I used that on the floor and bathroom white enamel on the walls. both have held up well. The bad spots on the floor were bad spots before I painted it.

 

I used it on my garage floor even did the acid cleaning before hand and it is flaking off in several places and its only been 3 years.

 

Did you do a moisture check before applying?


Most people have too much moisture coming through their floor to use epoxy without flaking issues.

 

I did two coats of the oil based and then put on 1 coat of clear. I th as been 4 years and still looks good.

 

Way back in the last century!, I bought a gallon of polyurethane, at Lowe’s, then rolled floor and walls will that stuff. Tires never lifted it but, it could get slick from the evening dew. Raced out of that 24 footer for 8 or so years and never had a problem. I even put that shit over the tire tracks, to keeps friends from asking to borrow my moving van!

 

I used rusteloum one part epoxy on the bare floor and zinnser bullseye primer sealer i tinted for the walls and rusteloum oil base flat black for the trim , so far so good and i used grip tape i got from amazon for the floor seams. I do have a few spots that the tires pulled up the epoxy so the two part is probably the best.

Laid it down over a thinned out coat of automotive epoxy, thinned out to soak into the new plywood. 6 years and it is like new except for some spills. I’ll try and post pics that are on my phone when I get a chance.

 

You are welcome. Forgot about taking pics but here is one I found on my phone.

If you notice the small leaf blower in the left cabinet, I use it rather than a broom to clear debris out of the trailer
