Epoxy: the strong base
Epoxy bonds deeply into ground concrete and builds thickness. It's an excellent base coat, but plain epoxy can yellow in direct sun.
Polyaspartic: the UV-stable topcoat
Polyaspartic resists UV and yellowing, cures fast and stays flexible in heat. That makes it a strong topcoat for garages with the door open and for lanais and pool decks.
What we usually recommend in Naples
For most garages: an epoxy base, a flake broadcast and a polyaspartic topcoat. For outdoor areas in full sun, we lean on UV-stable products throughout. We confirm the system after checking your slab for moisture.

Questions
Is polyaspartic always better?
Not always. It's more UV-stable, but epoxy often bonds and builds better as a base. Combining them works well.
Can I park on it the next day?
Polyaspartic topcoats cure fast. Timing depends on the system and the weather, and we'll tell you before we start.
