About This Service

A floor coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Gato Painting uses commercial diamond grinders and shot-blasters to open the concrete profile, then applies multi-layer epoxy or polyaspartic systems engineered for your specific traffic loads, chemical exposure, and aesthetic requirements.

Why It Matters

What sets our approach apart and what it means for your project.

Extreme Durability

Multi-layer systems with polyaspartic topcoats withstand heavy forklift traffic, pallet drops, and point loads without delaminating or chipping.

Chemical & Stain Resistance

Sealed floor systems resist oils, solvents, acids, and cleaning chemicals — essential for food processing, automotive, and manufacturing environments.

Easy Maintenance

Seamless, non-porous surfaces eliminate grout lines and pores where bacteria and debris accumulate, cutting cleaning time and costs.

Custom Aesthetics

Solid colors, metallic effects, decorative flake, and anti-slip aggregate broadcast options to match your brand or safety requirements.

Our Process

Every project follows a defined process that ensures quality at each stage.

  1. 1

    Concrete Evaluation

    We test surface hardness, moisture vapor emission (MVER), and pH levels to select the right system and flag any remediation needs before work begins.

  2. 2

    Diamond Grinding or Shot Blasting

    Mechanical surface profiling removes existing coatings, laitance, and contamination to achieve the CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) required for adhesion.

  3. 3

    Crack & Joint Repair

    All cracks, spalls, and control joints are filled with semi-rigid polyurea or epoxy mortar to create a stable, uniform substrate.

  4. 4

    Primer & Base Coat

    A penetrating epoxy primer seals the concrete and locks out moisture vapor before the base coat is applied at the specified mil thickness.

  5. 5

    Topcoat & Broadcast

    Final polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat is applied. Anti-slip aggregate, color flake, or metallic pigment is broadcast before the coat closes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before we can use the floor after coating?
Light foot traffic is typically safe after 24 hours. Full return to service including forklift traffic is usually 48–72 hours depending on the system and temperature.
Can epoxy be applied over existing coatings?
Generally no — existing coatings must be mechanically removed for proper adhesion. We test adhesion first and will recommend the appropriate prep method.
What is the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?
Epoxy provides the best build and chemical resistance as a base. Polyaspartic topcoats cure faster, are UV-stable (won't yellow), and are more abrasion-resistant. We typically use both in a multi-layer system.
Do you coat outdoor concrete areas?
Yes, but outdoor applications require UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane systems. We also assess drainage and thermal expansion requirements before recommending a system.
