Only door I would use...Head and shoulders above the rest...

I have tried a bunch of different floor coverings, with varying success.

I have not been impressed...it is not so much the occasional puddles as it is the rubber from the tires. Usually when spinning in a tight circle or a sudden stop. Grabs the floor coating and lifts it. As soon as one spot is lifted, it's over...

I guess I'll have to keep manually closing my doors for now. Just got the quote and WITHOUT shipping, installation and the metal covering (which for the same size door as I have cost me almost $750) the door is almost $11,000 !

I knew they were expensive but I can hire my neighbor to open my door for me for that price and I'll help stimulate the economy

I'm not sure we're talking about the same stuff. This is almost $300/gal and as far as I know, not available at Lowes. https://www.sherwin-williams.com/hom...yfloor-coating

Why is it that paint that's supposed to be for a floor comes off.

But if you spill some and don't wipe it up immediately, it's there forever?

I've done 2 garages, and you get what you pay for on floor coverings. I tried the behr one part covering from Lowe's or home Depot, it was $70 for each car in the garage. So a3 car garage cost 210. Even with an acid etch and proper prep it peeled in under a year and looked like ****. The next one I did I used the stuff from epoxy-coat.com. It was about 600 for a 2 car garage with the optional clear coat top. The only time I got it to peel was when I accidently dropped a spinning 4inch angle grinder on it. The clear coat deteriorates in the sun, so the 6 inches by the door yellowed after 2-3 years, but it didn't peel. I think they sell epoxy-coat products in Lowe's now.

These guys build the portable t hangar style buildings. We have 5 of them nearby and they all survive hurricanes just fine.

We just did 2400 sq ft of my company's floor with Sherwin Williams Armor Seal 650 (2 part epoxy system). It took about 1.5 hours with 4 of us (a guy mixing, a guy squeegeeing, a guy cross rolling, and a guy spike rolling) and cost around $3,500. This is in a very high traffic area that includes moving product with equipment that has steel casters as well as high fork truck traffic. This is the same stuff I put in my hangar. Just thought you guys would like to see the finish.https://xf05ja.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none

That might be a sub-section under Murphy's Law !

Both my hangars have Hi-Lift doors with auto-latch. One when I built second hangar in 2003 and the other to replace door of my own design in 2016. I really love these doors.
Just checked the invoice. The door (40' X 12') was $5,451 plus $702 for the auto-latches.
