Why yes, floor epoxy does look good on a Jeep

Probably one of the most original paint jobs I’ve ever seen. It actually looked really good in person.

 Sometimes it really is better to do what you know rather than attempt stock..

Generally, I like the idea in terms of durability and abrasion resistance in trail rig, but part of me would be really curious how floor epoxy stands up to UV exposure long-term. I don’t know if that is a use case the material is really designed around.

Probably not very good for UV fastness. 5/10 do not recommend.

Part of me might expect it to get brittle and and start flaking off after like 6 months of UV exposure.  I’d also be curious how it responds to thermal expansion.  That’s a thick surface coating, and I’d imagine a car has a lot greater and quicker thermal cycle than a garage floor.  Again, I’d half expect that it cause it crack and start flaking off...

If properly applied it will hold, I use epoxy coating on steel all the time and we don’t have issues with thermal, it’s all UV so there is always a top coat of polyurethane color to cover up the plastic.

Yeah I know we sprayed a building near Red Lodge with epoxy and it’s fine. I’m sure selecting the right product is important, not just grabbing something for floors at Home Cheepo. My dad makes me paint things whenever he has a chance.

Hogwash, the best finish for your Jeep is porcelain tile
