Ratings & Reviews for Valspar Master Stone 1-part Base 4, Sandy Shore Flakes Acrylic Concrete and Garage Floor Paint ( 5-gallon )

Looks good when finally finished

Needed 3 coats on cement floor over a faded grey oil paint. Finally covered nice when I poured it on

Worst paint!!!

Instructions should tell you to use a mechanical mixer, 5 gallon bucket was nothing but clumps and stuck to the sides. Not good coverage, had to buy more in gallon cans. Less than 1 month I noticed peeling under my tires and we haven’t even had salted roads yet. Very expensive and a waste of $600.

Very thick and hard to work with.

The sales lady only shuck the paint for 3 minutes when I found out when I purchased additional gallons that the next sales person stated that it had to be shuck at least 6 minutes. He did it for another 3 minutes to be sure.

Amazing Decorative Floor Coating!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Master Stone Decorative Anti-Skid Floor Coating renewed my concrete and wood surfaces with its decorative, slip-resistant coating, which I liked immensely. Its multi-speckled, highly textured finish protects against weather, chemical damage and staining while resisting hot-tire pickup. This floor coating is ideal for use on concrete, covered wood porches, patios and garages. I lived using this floor coating and have already recom...

Solid Results, But Takes Some Work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used Valspar Master Stone Decorative Anti-Skid Floor Coating in my garage, and while the application wasn’t exactly easy, the end result turned out really nice. It takes some time and effort to prep and apply properly, but once it’s down, it gives a clean, textured, and durable finish. The anti-skid feature works well, and it definitely improves the look and feel of the surface. Overall, not the simplest DIY project, but worth it for...

Poor - uneven coverage

I did not care for this product at all. It seemed the only way to get uniform coverage of the so called flakes would be to dump the whole can out on the floor and let it spread itself as much as it does and then wait a week for it to dry. I tried several different rollers and none worked, I ended up using a 4 inch brush but it was impossible to get even coverage. The result was blotchy and quite ugly. Do not buy this product, Valspar needs to go back to the drawing board with this product!

Color was way off

I bought a can of Master Stone with Sandy Shore Flakes base and Dusk Stone tint which is a medium brown tone, what I got was Battleship Gray. I went back to Lowes and tried Earth Stone which is a deeper brown, That turned out to be the exact same Battleship Gray as the Dusk Stone. Tried letting it dry, but aside from darkening a little, it was still Battleship Gray. Very disappointed!

Is good

I like the look and coverage

A gallon does not cover much area.

This product has a lot of anti slip added and it makes it hard to get an even coverage. If your lucky you will get 30 sq ft out of a gallon to make it look even without light spots.

Take your time, be sure to prep area

The product was sort of like working with wet cement, the flakes were spotty, not uniform, used a brush to cut in permiter, then poured drictly on drive, smoothed out with trowel and then roller, hope it dries even
