Valspar Epoxy Garage Floor Coating Review
Application: 5
– Valspar Garage Epoxy Floor Coating was not easy to apply. The mixing and curing of the product is harder than other brands. The product cures very fast when applying, giving you a very short time period to apply. We applied this to a newer garage floor, about 4 months old. All prep and application instructions were followed.
Gloss Level after Application: 5
– Valspar Epoxy Coating Review gave our test garage a medium to satin gloss shine after 24 hours of drying. We had a very uneven shine level throughout the surface. Some areas looked thicker as well.
Overall Appearance after Application: 5
– Valspar Epoxy Coating Review is hard to apply and it showed. Uneven application, some areas looked thicker than others, etc. We have been applying coatings for 20 years and this applied very poorly. There are numerous reviews online about application issues and the initial appearance of the Valspar Floor Coatings.
Valspar Epoxy Coating Peeling
Appearance/Peeling/Wearing After 2 Years: 4
– Valspar Epoxy Coating started peeling and wearing from the car tires within months of application.
Solid Percentage of Epoxy: 6
– The Valspar Epoxy Coating Review is about 50-60% solids by volume.
Overall Score Valspar Epoxy Coating Review at 2 Year Period: 5
– The Valspar Epoxy Coating did not perform very well in our test. Hard to apply, uneven application, thin consistency, and a good amount of wearing after only two months. We prepped and applied the Valspar Floor Coating following all of the required steps. The epoxy came up under all car tires after only a few months and it stuck to our tires when we pulled out of the garage and peeled right up.
As professional concrete restoration contractors, this is the worst epoxy brand we have seen in 20+ years.

The Best Epoxy Coating Video
Used this product several years ago. It held up reasonably well but was wearing plus I had some spalled areas. Repaired the spalled areas, sanded everything and applied another coat. It did not cover that well and was wondering if I could put ANOTHER coat over the first one.
Cannot seem to get an answer anywhere.
Anybody know?
Proabbly not without prepping. You need to score or sand the surface.
Can you apply the Valspar top coat when is it expected to rain and temperatures are above 55 degrees? Also, after applying Valspar primer to your floor in your garage can you wait days to adding the topcoat?
You would have to ask Valspar. We do not use their products due to poor results.
