Are you guys doing that epoxy yourself? I want to coat the floor of our garage now, but wasn't sure about the process of doing it right, aside from hiring a company.

The previous owner of our house didn't care much for the garage. It has an oil stain in the concrete and I used Krud Kutter and a pressure washer and it got most of the surface residue off, but there is still stains on the concrete.

Any suggestions? Or just save the hassle and have someone do it professionally?

I did my epoxy floor myself. Acid washed and scrubbed the floor with a hard brush. Then I hand painted the edges and I rolled the rest.

I did mine myself as well. I bought my house new, so I didn't have the unfortunate job of removing oil/grease stains, etc.
If you do it yourself, make sure you degrease and get up any stains you have as best as you can, etch the concrete, then let it dry. Make sure the concrete is completely dry before you roll on any pant or epoxy, otherwise you risk the paint/epoxy bubbling later. You can tape down plastic sheeting and leave it for about 24 hours, then check to see if any moisture has built up on the plastic. If so, there's still moisture in the concrete that needs to evaporate first. If the plastic is dry, you are ready to roll on the finish.

Robbie I did mine in the summer and left the garage open all day and night empty and it dried in no time. I used a moisture meter to check the concrete
