Default Re: epoxy garage floors

I'd definitely recommend going that route if you can justify the cost. I did my new garage/workshop floor with it about 10yrs ago, and it has stood up to wear extremely well. The other garage with regular floor paint has worn a lot, as you would expect.
The 2-pack solvent based stuff I used didn't give very long working time, just something to bear in mind. Prepare and get ready to paint, then do as much as you can apply in about 5mins in one go. Don't even think about cleaning equipment, just bin it.
Use a stabiliser first if the surface is at all powdery or soft.
Can't recommend any specific products I'm afraid. I got mine from an online specialist paint supplier, not cheap but good value.
