Here are some more information for Paint Epoxy:

Epoxy paint is the most commonly used type of garage floor finish. Due to the harmful fumes this paint produces you will have to ensure enough ventilation when applying it. Wearing protective eyewear and gloves is also very important. When applying the epoxy paint using a roller some of it may get onto your hands or even into your eyes which can cause serious injuries.

Before applying the epoxy paint you will have to prepare the floor so the paint will stick to the concrete. Both the air and floor will have to be the right temperature (between 60 to 80 degrees). This is necessary to make the material spread on the garage floor. You will also need to clean and sweep the floor. First, sweep off all the dirt, then use a garden hose to remove all remaining bits of dust and dirt.

When cleaning the garage floor you should use a good diluted bleach or commercial cleaner for concrete floors. This is will be necessary if you want to get rid of all stains on the floor. When using these powerful chemicals you will also have to wear protective clothing to prevent skin contact. You will have to spray all stains on the floor and then scrub them off using a strong brush. After the floor has dried be sure to inspect it for cracks and chips. You will need to fill these up using an epoxy substance and smooth them up. Be sure to follow the instructions provided with the epoxy substance, its easy to get this wrong.

How to Prepare Your Ship for Marine Paint

A marine paint is used for painting sailboats, yachts and ships that use both fresh and salt water. Its readily applied on both military and professional ships. This paint is also applied to freighters, passenger ships, offshore oil rigs, container ships, tankers, recreational yachts and boats as well as inland waterway ships, tow boats and barges. Marine paints contain high levels of copper and tin to kelp prevent or eliminate fouling from biological organisms, slime and algae. Its preferred in harsh marine environments because its highly engineered to prevent organic buildup and damage.

Today, we find some natural materials being used for marine paint formulations to produce environmentally friendly marine paints. Scientists use tube worms in dead powder form, green algae, and garlic as natural anti fouling components and it gives your vessel an all round protection from chemical, insects and worm damage.

To prepare your ship for painting, it is wise to roughen it all out with 220 grit dry sand paper, while making sure there are no shiny spots which would prevent paint from sticking on the surface. Follow it up with an 800 grit sandpaper, then clean with warm soapy water. If you cannot accomplish this on your own, take it to a fabrication shop or yard and have them Vacuum or high pressure it with soapy water and a degreaser to make cleaning it easier. Finally apply either a bottom paint for protecting the bottoms, a topside paint for the surfaces above the water line, including the deck or a commercial marine paint depending on what part of your boat you are painting.

Epoxy paint for a showerstall floor?

I am considering using an epoxy paint to recoat a showerstall floor. I would appreciate any feedback on best practices or good brands of epoxy paint to purchase.

If you have done this, how well has it worked out longterm?
I should also add that the shower floor is a plastic moulded shower floor and that the shiny layer has rubbed off over the years leaving a greyish looking color.

I would highly recomend a water based epoxy that is water tolerent. You actually might want to check out your local marina for a water based deck paint for boats. Fiberglass boats and shower bases are usually a very similar material. WARNING - it will be expensive.
