        "text": "Installing a professional garage floor coating generally takes two to three days, plus curing time. The first day focuses on surface prep, which includes repairing concrete cracks, patching spalls, and mechanically grinding or etching the slab to ensure a strong bond. Applying the base coat, decorative flakes, and clear protective topcoat takes another one to two days. Once applied, light foot traffic is usually possible within 24 to 48 hours, but parking cars or placing heavy storage units on the surface requires three to seven full days to prevent tire marks or coating damage. Cold weather can also extend cure times.",
