(Industrial Non-Lifting Floor Paint, 1 Gallon - $59.99) Griot stresses that all the steps must be completed "correctly" or the results will not be good. That worries me at some level.

By the way, Griots has free shipping all spring - it's unusually an expensive addition to any list of expensive products, although the products are above average.
I found a local company that sells the true epoxy stuff. What a difference. And the price was lower than the nation Web sites selling the lighter stuff. I am on the fence now with our showroom, we did it in gloss black and it is very difficult to keep clean and my photos don't come out as nice as the back area done in a light grey (nearly white). When I figure out the name of the place again I will post it.

We (3 of us) prepped a 6000 SF space in a weekend and coated it the next. So a basic garage should not be too hard. We had the luxury of new concrete to work with but it had the industrial fibers in it that made the scrapping and smoothing process a little more difficult.

I tried to get the Racedeck aluminum for the showroom but it turns out they only recommend it for small "show only" applications...
