Rent the Grinder, Buy the Coating, Same Stop
The Concrete Protector headquarters on Stewart Road in Lima is a coatings supplier, a training center and a surface prep rental counter. Contractors installing Graniflex, Metallic Marble, flake or Resinous 123 systems rent their grinder, vacuum and shot blaster here, then load epoxy, flake and topcoat on the same trip.
