Proper epoxy job. Sand for wood, grind for concrete. Sweep, vacuum, roll your entire project. It doesn’t cure as fast as you think. Wear spiked shoes so you can walk throughout the epoxied area and throw your flakes at the ceiling and they will disperse much much more evenly. Then once your chips and epoxy have sat for 24hrs. Come back and scrape the surface with a scraper to get any loose flakes up. Vacuum the whole floor then SEAL it with a good sealer. Helpful tip is to squeegee the epoxy on a garage floor while someone with a roller follows you

You did a very good job! As for the chips - remember it is a cargo trailer floor that you are going to walk on, drive on, drop things on and spill things on - if you really don’t like the way the chips turned out on the walls you can always cover with a black or grey vinyl base. I think you epoxy floor and upturn looks great!

Just bought myself an enclosed trailer, never thought about doing epoxy on the floor, I will definitely be doing that. Looks awesome! Subscribed!

I wonder how has this hold up after 2 years.

I used one step Behr Garage Floor paint and added chips on a previous trailer. It has held up well. I have a new trailer sitting in the driveway and think I will use porch paint on it. Planning on Harley Orange with silver/black non-skid flakes. I may use some aluminum diamond plate in the center of the ramp and rear tire contact area.

Hello sir, thank you for posting the whole process. KZfaq has speed adjustment so, I just used that where needed. I've got a little pile of questions. I hope that's okay. I am wondering how much, if any, paint/epoxy you had left over? Would it be worth trying to mix some of each A and B into a separate container to preserve the rest for another project, etc? Once mixed, does it get warm like typical epoxy sealant? Does it dry really hard in a brittle sort of way? That is to say, if the floor were to flex with the movement of the trailer, or expand and contract with heat and cold, would it crack or separate at the seams? And final questions, did the the paint fill in your screw holes? Do you think you'd be able to take/back the screws out, paint it, and then replace them for access later on? I also liked the idea to paint a few inches up the wall. I'll def. use that for myself, as well. Thank you for your time, and your service, and I look forward to more videos in the future.

First paint side walls then throw the spec on the wall , sweep up the floor then roll the floor and apply the specs. For the rust use meradic acid.

To tackle the rust it's easy...buy POR15, they have it in semi-gloss and gloss, since that's the back of the trailer I'd go with the gloss. There is no prep really either, it bonds to the metal. If you like you could blast it with something first or hit it with a DA but POR15 is the BEST, you'll see it when you pay for it too!

Painted the walls with Sherman Williams Tread Plex, and a diamond tread vinyl roll on the floor. Caulked around. Trailer is now completely waterproof/grease proof and can be pressure washed if it gets really dirty

Great job on the video! Thank you... I'm looking at this because I want to know if it holds up with the wood flex underneath... has there been any cracking or chipping in the year this was done? Please let me know... thanks again...

You really did a great job. I think your sides look fine. I think you even did a pretty decent job with the flakes. When spring gets here I'm using that exact same kit and color that you did. I have a friend of mine who's going to put the flakes down I am no good at things like that lol. How did that anti-slip stuff work out? Was it worth it or just don't waste money? I have seen where some guys get sand and mix it up in the can or sometime when the paint is almost dry they throw the sand across the floor and once the floor is 100% done they go back with brooms and sweep up all the loose sand. I don't like that method I think it made the floor too rough.

Beat thing for rust is fluid film it stops rust and when applied it stops the rust from spreading.

What size kit do you buy the 1 car or the 2.5 car kit? I have a smaller 5x8 trailer I want to finish the floor on. Thanks!

Would it make a more durable floor if you put a second coat before throwing the chips I have a trailer on order and thinking about yawing they same stuff. For the rust problem use Rustoleum spray paint no sanding just spray it on I have a 24’ deck over steel deck trailer it has set out side for three years still looks great

Thanks for the video does the chips add gripping to the floor?

Thanks for the video. When I watched this I did it and it was the best idea to do. I go to the dunes so sand, mud and water gets in it and its been holding up amazing for 6 months now. I will say do not do it in the Winter cause it will take longer to dry.

Clean the rust off the best you can and use a rust converter paint

how well has it held up?

Hey Mark, is this a 6x12 and was the one car kit enough? I have a 6x12 with a ramp I would also cover and I'm wondering if I should get 2.5 car garage kit.

Thanks for the video. Is the paint holding up good still? Wondering if it would work on a rough plywood floor for my mowers just heard the paint is hard on breaking down the glue for ply wood didnt know. Looks good buddy.

Thanks for the video. Very interesting. Two questions...#1 - are the chips sharp (pokey) on the feet after everything is dry? #2 - any idea if cracking might occur is this done over a insulated subfloor in the trailer (i.e. put down 1" insulation board, install 1/2" plywood over the insulation, then apply the epoxy to the plywood)....thoughts? Thanks again!

After the flakes dry is there any issue with them protruding out of the floor ? Is the surface flat and even?

Use Coriseal for the rust. Converts the rust and primes in a single step.

For the rust, sand it, and repaint

Good Job ! The rust on your bumper should be sand blasted down to bare metal first > Gray Auto Paint Primer > (Glossy) Rustoleum Black Spray Paint .

a wire brush wipe down with asatone after wire brush and use rustolium rust reformer spray can I use it on my boat trailer works wonders And last for years

Thanks for the video. How strong is the smell of the stuff, does it eventually go away. I am making a camper and kids will be sleeping in there

Rustoleum does not recommend using this epoxy product on wooden substrates. It is to brittle to be put over soft wood and is prone to puncturing due to the lack of support.

3 years later how did it hold up?

I’m thinking about doing this on my shed flooring. How is the product holding up?

Curious how big your trailer is? I have a 7x14 and was thinking of doing this to it!

Leaf blower to broadcast the paint chips will work really well.

does it stain easy hard to clean like mine

How did it turn out? Have a box sitting in front of me and want to do it

Good job, how long did project take you?

Hey, how long is dry time?

Check out how mine came out on enclosed trailer customized slingshot and atv

How does the trailer floor look now cause I know that what you used is for concrete

my buddy didn't use the grit in the paint and when his trailer gets wet it's like a slip and slide in there.

Acetone...on the oil spots. Very wet rag of it. Hell just pour it on. Wipe dry while still wet. Repeat.

Would u say it made the floor waterproof?? Or.....

How is your floor holding up? Any cracks in the epoxy? What are you using the trailer for?

that garage floor epoxy gets hard. Do you notice any cracking on it after driving and it flexing/moving?

I used the same box you used, got it at Home Depot and I just finished it but my floor doesn’t shine like yours. Wondering is I miss a step 😄

I bought the rocksolid pearlescent kit basically the same one correct ?

I have always done the ryno linear coating on my trailers it always held up well with atvs/motorcycles! This stuff really isn’t meant for wood as already said but i read of you apply a acrylic latex primer 1st it will bind much better defiantly curious to know how long this lasts for ya! Great video though i am doing my garage floor soon w a kit from spartan epoxies!

How did it hold up? Does it make it not as slippery?

2 years later how is it holding up?

how has this held up??

I like the video but have one question. How was the removal of the masking tape? I would think removing as you went (while the epoxy was wet) would be the thing to do. Did it remove ok after it cured over the tape?

Oh man, not chips!

I used it for my garage floor, it wore down in 3 years. Not a good product in my opinion.

Shouldn't you epoxy the exposed side??? So you spill a coke on the inside, big deal...it is the side of wood that faces the road that needs protection......and omg chips make it hard to slide boxed cargo....
