Polyurea base, polyaspartic top
The First Light floor. One day, park on it in 24 hours, covered for hot tires for life.
See itOur pick
Metallic epoxy, or flake in Salt Flat
Metallic for a poured, one-of-a-kind floor. Salt Flat flake for the bright look with more grip and less upkeep.
See itOur pick
Still polyurea and polyaspartic
Cheaper systems cost more within five years. A 1-car is $1,950 and financing starts around $90 a month.
See itOur pick
Flake with a double clear coat
Flake hides wear, and a second clear coat ($0.90 a sq ft) gives dropped tools more to chew through.

Questions
System questions.
What’s the actual difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?
Epoxy is cheap and hard but it yellows in UV, cures slowly and can soften under hot tires. Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea that stays clear in the sun, cures in hours and flexes a little with the slab.
Why not polyaspartic for the base coat too?
We use a polyurea base because it soaks into ground concrete and grabs. Polyaspartic goes on top, where UV and tires do their damage.
Is a “one-day floor” rushed?
Not if the grind is done right. The chemistry cures in hours. The rush jobs are the ones that skip the grind to finish by noon.
