DIY Frequently Asked Questions / I have a painted concrete floor in my garage. Can I still apply an epoxy coating?


It depends on the shape it’s in. If it’s in good shape, you can forego the etching process, give it a good cleaning with an all-purpose cleaner and rough it up with a floor sander before apply the new epoxy finish. If it’ flaking, however, you’ll have to completely remove the old finish before applying a new one.
