If you have decided on the particular product(coating) you're going to use, it should have prep. instructions for it. Follow the instructions that are for that product, and it should turn out great!
What stuff are you using, anyway?

Like Joel said... follow the instructions to a T! I'm pretty sure temperature and humidity during application have a big impact on performance! I did this to my garage years ago, and within 1 year it was peeling. Not sure where I went wrong.

I hope you are taking before, during and after pictures! We want to see them!

Hey Adam,

What was the temperature when you put yours down? I'm guessing it was either winter (ie. freezing cold) or it was hot and humid ?

You guys and your pictures but I like them too.My instructions got wet so I'm going up the wally world and get the instructions out of another box and copy them.I know you can't over prep.I don't want to do this again.The stuff ain't cheap!!
