RUST BULLET DuraGrade Clear - Clear Gloss - 1 Gallon - Ultra Low VOC, Chip, Chemical, & UV Resistant - Apply to Metal Concrete, Wood and More

I'll have to update on the durability, but with little effort this product looks professional and amazing. At almost 200/gallon though, purchasing the exact right amount of product is critical. Coverage they claim is about right. I have a typical 2 car garage, 19 x 20. Bought 2 gal grey, 1 gal clear. Each gallon did exactly 1 coat spreading as thin as possible but with complete coverage. Figure using slightly more for the 1st coat, the second coat spreads further. (Might use 1 1/8 gallon on coat 1 and 7/8 gallon on second.) As it cured it has a nice thick appearance. (Hint) Don't cheap out in the chips, They will cover up a lot of imperfections in the floor and any application flaws. I used about 20 lbs of paint chips to get the look I wanted. My only regret is I probably would have done a second clear coat to really seal the chips in, but still looks amazing. The paint is VERY sticky, very hard to get off your hands, good indication it's not coming up to easy. Only complaint is with Amazon packaging and UPS shipping. Allow enough time. Mine was lost twice, and after a month I finally got it, but looked like it was drug behind a train to get here. Still worked, but frustrating that that's how they treat a $200 can of paint!

I've tried a few products and so far this is top notch. It took 2 coats but it's nice and shining with great durability. I absolutely love how it looks like I'm walking on glass. Definitely using it again soon.

I bought a can of this which was good. I ran short so I bought a second can. The surface was dry and prepared exactly per the directions and the temperature was exactly per the specifications. Nonetheless, once applied, the clear coat foamed up with tiny bubbles as it dried (including on a piece of cardboard that I used as a drop cloth). It completely ruined my entire job - paint chips and all.

Best clear coat I have found and have used a few times. Product does have a strong smell so ventilate area well or use a respirator!!Do yourself a favor and Watch the YouTube video “To avoid roller marks” before you start rolling to save yourself from a major disappointment!!

Used clear coating as a final coat on top of dual coat of beige duragrade with flakes added to top coat. I also added anti slip resistant powder directly to clear coat as directed. I can definitely see shiny layer on top and kind of looks good, but not sure about protection it is providing on top of dual coats and whether it was necessary or not. Material is very liquuidy and felt like just slightly thickened water.. very easy to apply. So only concern is whether its worth or not given high price tag.

It covered pretty well but definitely not two coats on 250 sq ft area. 1 gallon had approximately 1/5 remaining. Nice sheen.

This product seems very tough and durable. And it cleans up decently off your hands with acetone. We used a brush to coat around the room and around roughed in plumbing. We used epoxy rollers for the main floor area b/c you do not want any shedding of fuzz from your roller when you apply this finish. I put down 2 coats of color (Turquoise, which is lovely by the way) followed by one coat of clear after which I had to touch up in many areas. The first coat took 90 minutes to complete (900 SF). The next 2 coats took 1 hour each to apply. I went meticulously across the room painting myself out the front door each time. I rolled one direction to put the paint on the floor, then rolled perpendicularly across the area to get best coverage, not miss areas, and to try for a smooth finish. The first coat of color went down wonderfully! The second coat however was very difficult b/c you could not see where you had been and were you needed to go. Additionally, the roller marks were much more prominent with the second coat. Another problem is if you have a drip from the roller and do not see it to roll over it to spread it out or if you have even a small puddle that you miss and do not roll out, it expands and bubbles as it cures and leaves blemishes in the finish. We had to sand more than a few of these after the second color coat. But fortunately we did not have to recoat with color. The clear coat covered the sanded areas just fine. The clear coat was another matter... I seemed to have greater issues with uneven texture at the edge of the roller and with back and forth roller movement with the clear coat than with the color coats. It wasn't roller marks per se, but rather blotchy areas where the coating was uneven- not smooth. As with the second color coat, it was very difficult to see where you had been and where you needed to go with the clear coat. Consequently, I missed a number of places and had to go back over those areas after the 3rd coat of this stuff had dried. I can't say that my efforts substantially improved the outcome, maybe some... But this is not a perfect finish. I am disappointed with the way this floor looks... It is a workshop, so it will have to do, but for all the hard work we put out (no corners were cut) and with our experience, I had higher hopes for the floor. We worked for 4 days on this and we are experienced painters and have used almost every paint product and type out there... except for this one. Each coat was completely dry before the next went down. I can honestly and sadly say that I would not use this product again and would not recommend it either. I really would like to like this stuff. But it is SOOOO hard to work with and it doesn't level itself much at all!!! And that is the biggest problem that I see with it overall. Therefore getting a professional looking outcome is nearly impossible with a roller... we used rollers b/c this product behaves like thinned down gorilla glue so I did not want to ruin a sprayer. It is VERY sticky, expands and bubbles as it dries if it is not a very thin layer. Clean up is best attempted with acetone. We were fairly successful getting this stuff off of our hands with acetone, but brushes (for the edges of the room), rollers, tray liners, etc were sacrificed. There was no cleaning them!Finally, this product is listed as low VOC, but WEAR A RESPIRATOR!!! It is a must. Our 900 SF shop became overwhelming after 15-20 minutes of putting this down. My eyes were burning and the smell was getting very powerful. Applying this without a respirator has to be toxic to your health! The respirator allowed me to breath, but my eyes burned and watered after the first 20 minutes and until each coat was done and I was back out in fresh air.

Our garage floor needed a makeover. I read about Rust Bullet for Concrete products and decided this was the best product for our project. I spent a lot of time prepping the floor by sanding chipped previously painted surfaces, caulking cracks and cleaning the floor.The end result is amazing.....or so we think so ;)Applied 2 coats of Rust Bullet for Concrete, then paint chips followed by Rust Bullet DuraGrade Clear. You must wear a ventilator with this product.
