Legacy Industrial Nohr-S Garage Application (pic heavy)

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

After some conversations with friends and Scotty (from Legacy Industrial), I decided to go with the Legacy Industrial Nohr-S system for my 723 sq ft. garage.

 

Here's the background on the garage and decision making process:

 

-House was built in August of 2014

-No sealer or topcoat was applied on the floor before moving in

-Floor has been used and parked on for the past year with no top coat

-I wanted a system that was user friendly and had a quick cure time

 

Here are some before pictures of me cleaning out the garage (I did this after work over the time-span of about a week). I basically moved a bunch of stuff into my house in certain room, some stuff I stored in my neighbors garage, and some was put out side under my 10x10 pop up.

Once I had the garage cleared out, I rented a floor buffer with a diamabrush attachment and it took me about 8 hours to do the floor to my satisfaction. I knew that prep was VITAL for a good bond, so I made 4-7 passes in some spots with the buffer.

Needed everything off the floor, so I went ahead and had a neighbor help me build a tire rack for my race tires :)

I had a friend come in town for the weekend who had done a 2 part epoxy floor before and he was a HUGE help to the operation. Friday night we filled in the rest of cracks with sealant and basically did a final prep of the floor to get up bright and early on Saturday to start.

Second coat (Nohr-S with pigment) with flakes (since the Nohr-S dries so quickly, we basically went square by square and after each coat we would flake.

3rd coat (Nohr-S only - no pigment)

 

We did a 3rd coat (2 gallons over 723 sq ft, and had enough left over to do a 4th coat in some of the high traffic areas)

Some more random shots throughout the project:

 

Here you can see the soft skid mixed in with the clear:

Side note: I did not do or want a full broadcast and got a 10 lb bucket and only used probably 2-3 pounds....FYI for anyone doing this going forward:

The morning after....finally got most of my driveway back:

Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone and already started painting the walls:

And got my workbench started for the install:

Thanks to Scotty for all his quick responses and support through the process. My Nohr-S got delivered on Friday...the same day all the new Iphones 6S's were getting delivered, so I didn't get my delivery until 8:30 on Friday night....let's just say I was biting my fingernails a little....but all worked out.

 

HUGE thanks to Kyle for driving from Cleveland for the weekend to help me knock this out!

 

 

Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

Diamond grind, epoxy, chips, and clear overtop. Friend just had it done and looks like yours just more chips....

 

Sounds like a good deal....Just make sure it's a good product. I did not do an 'over the counter' product because those are highly water based, where mine is a 72% solid and has a lifetime guarantee.

 

maybe dumb question - do the chips help with grip? is that the purpose or is it for color/pattern/dirt hiding? Does the clear coat cover most of the chips? dont know about this stuff so pardon the question

 

The chips are decorative, and help hid imperfections in the floor. The 'soft skid' is what helps with grip. The clear covers ALL of the chips....think of it like a polyurethane coating on a table at a bar when they put coasters or pictures in the table, it basically sandwiches/seals them in there.

 

Great job Kale. I'm getting ready to do rust bullet on my new 2-car hopefully before the weather turns.

 

Thanks, Chris....it completely changes the look of the garage, I can't wait to get everything into its home in there.

Looks great man! I just had my garage redone this summer with a similiar kit but I went with a super heavy chip saturation mix and turned out awesome I think. Had a solid few days of cleaning / prep into it but my floor is 40 plus years old and had tons of old oil stans and cracks that needed fixed first.

 

I'll see if I can find some of the before / after pics I took...
