- Lowest cost floor paint
- Fast recoat turnaround
- Slip resistant satin finish
The budget-of-the-budget 1-part paint: cheapest, fastest to recoat, and slip-resistant, but also the least durable. Reach for it on a tight budget or a low-traffic floor, and step up to a 2-part epoxy or polycuramine if the bay sees daily vehicles.
Pros
- Dries to touch in about 2 hours and recoats in 4, the fastest handling of any pick here
- Lowest sticker price of the group and needs no separate primer
- Slip-resistant satin finish adds traction that glossy coatings lack
Cons
- Thinnest, least durable coating listed and prone to hot-tire pickup under heavy use
- Only two gray colors and no included decorative flakes for a custom look
- Not rated for forklifts, commercial abuse, or slabs with moisture/hydrostatic issues
