The instructions tell you how to prep the floor.
I put the Rustoleum product on my garage floor. The mfg instructions
on the coverage is total BS. I tried to stretch the content on a
surface even less than they say, and it went on too thin. The too
thin areas pulled up after a couple of years. The thicker areas are
fine.
Note that this stuff is VERY slippery when wet if you don't use the
traction chips.
