As you may know, we recently embarked on a major garage makeover. When we started planning the project, we had dual the goals of making the garage both prettier and more functional. But thanks to Rust-Oleum® and their RockSolid® Metallic Floor Coating, we were able to jump right past prettier, and instead we now have a garage floor that is down right gorgeous!

I've been admiring the RockSolid® metallic floor options for quite some time, but I couldn't quite visualize how a fancy floor treatment would look paired with our unfinished walls. We contemplated adding wallboard to the garage, but it didn't make sense right now for a number of reasons. Instead, we compromised and painted the unfinished walls white. And what a difference it makes - fresh, clean, and bright.

We were finally ready to mix the metallic finish.

MIXING. Begin by shaking the pouch and squeezing each individual side to mix the material. Then lay the pouch down on the ground and roll from the Part A to the Part B side, the pressure of which will cause the middle seal to burst and allow two parts to be combined, thereby activating the contents. Continue shaking and squeezing the pouch for another 2-3 minutes.

Once thoroughly combined, cut the corner off of the pouch and pour it into a bucket. Add the metallic tint and use the paddle mixer to mix the Polycuramine® and the metallic tint for 3 to 5 minutes.
