Before you start your garage floor coating project, you'll want to see if there is a previous coating on the floor.

If it's not obvious that you have a previously coated surface, you can splash water on the concrete. If the water beads, your floor has a coating.

If a coating is present, use Rust-Oleum's Recoat Primer. Recoat Primer provides a surface that is ready to recoat, without the need for sanding or grinding away the old coating.
