I’m sure there are plenty of great options for doing it yourself. We did it ourselves with no experience and used this kit from Rustoleum. You definitely don’t want to run out of product. This kit claims 2.5 car garage and it barely covered our 2 car garage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006ZUZ9QE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zU26CbXC4QSZC
There are some surface inconsistencies where the flakes were sprinkled a little heavier in some places, but other than that we are very pleased with the result for the cost. As for your concrete being “a mess”, are we talking dirt and grime or damage? We had a lot of grease and spent a lot of time prepping the surface with a sturdy wire brush and a degreaser. It must be free from grease and oils before starting the process. Hope this helps!
You just have to Jeep Proof your garage
Yes I'm a novice painter. I've done a few rooms in my home. The garage has been the largest project so far (just finished the walls which needed quite a bit of spackling and re-taping). I'll look at that solution you suggested and let you know if I have any questions. I appreciate the response, thanks!
edit
ok i looked at this on Amazon and read the popular reviews (link: https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-261845-EpoxyShield-Garage-Coating/dp/B006ZUZ9QE). One question I still have is the power washing. Should I tape plastic drop cloths to the walls so I don't ruin them with the power washer? I can't see how I could possibly power wash inside the garage without soaking the drywall. Also, i have a water filter in the garage with a boot that sits on the floor. Removing this thing is not trivial. I need a plumber if I were to do that. Would I be able to go around it knowing that one spot on the floor will be old/unfinished? I may be able to put a neat square around it or something. What would you recommend for something like that?
The rest seems pretty straight forward (thought a lot of work) based on the first reviewers instructions. I think I can tackle this when the weather warms up.
My only concern is that the negative reviews say this stuff tends to come up after a few months, especially if tires go on it. Have you had any experience with this? Do you know why this might be happening for them?
