When Steph moved into her house, we knew we needed to redo the garage floor one day. It was half painted with carpet down the middle. We did some research on different products to use and found Rust-Oleum Rock Solid Metallic Silver Floor Coating Kit. Steph thought her mini cooper would look really cute parked on the floor so we decided to take on the project!

Steph's garage floor was a mess! We did a lot of prep work, which you can check out in our prep video.

The kit comes with this product and it helps prep the floor for the coating.

Mix the Coating

The kit comes with a pouch with two components that need to be mixed together. Then you mix that with the metallic tint in a bucket.

Apply the Product

We used a brush to finish the edges and then poured the coating on the floor and used a roller to apply.

The whole project took a few days and we learned a whole lot through the process. For complete details about what we learned check out our website.
