Epoxy Floor Coating Manhattan Kit 8L

The AutoTech epoxy floor coating Manhattan Kit is an 8L solvent-based two-pack system that seals and protects bare concrete in one coat. It dries to a smooth mid-grey finish with a subtle sheen, which suits garage floors, workshops and showroom areas that see light vehicle or foot traffic. Because it is a single-coat system, there is no separate primer or topcoat and the floor is ready once the coating cures.

Key Features

• One-coat application: the base and activator mix into a single protective layer that seals bare concrete
• Manhattan finish: a smooth mid-tone grey that hides dust and light scuffs between cleans
• Resists hot tyre pick-up and oil stains, so cars and machinery do not mark the floor
• Water beads on the surface and wipes clean with a mop or cloth
• Covers up to 40 m2 per 8L kit, roughly a two-car garage floor
• Kit contents: base, activator, concrete etch, decorative flakes, stirrer and instructions

What You Need To Complete The Job

Everything for the job is in the one box: the etch for surface prep, the two-part coating, and a pack of decorative flakes. Clean the concrete, etch it with the included solution, mix Part A and Part B, and roll the coating on in a single coat. For a different look, the blue blend decorative flakes and the grey blend decorative flakes are sold separately, and the full epoxy range covers the other shades in this series.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much floor does one kit cover?

The 8L kit covers up to 40 m2 on bare concrete in a single coat, which is about the size of a standard two-car garage. For a bigger area, order two kits and apply the coating in bays, rolling each section while it is still wet so the finish stays even from edge to edge.

What is in the kit?

Each kit includes the base (Part A), the activator (Part B), a concrete etch for surface preparation, a pack of decorative flakes, a stirrer and full instructions. The concrete needs to be clean, dry and etched before the epoxy goes on, or the coating will not bond properly.

Do I need a primer first?

No. This is a self-priming single-coat system, so there is no separate primer or topcoat. Prepare the floor, mix the two parts thoroughly, and roll the coating on. One coat seals and protects the concrete in a single pass.

Will it cope with cars and workshop use?

Yes. The finish resists hot tyre pick-up, oil spills and general soiling, which is why it is a common choice for garage and workshop floors. Water beads on the surface and wipes clean, so the floor stays tidy with little maintenance.

What colours are available?

The solvent-based epoxy range comes in three shades: Manhattan, a smooth mid-tone grey; Sterling Grey, a lighter neutral grey; and Carbon, a deep charcoal. Each kit is a complete system, so you can match the colour to the room and the light.
