Epoxy garage floor
Has anyone epoxy coated a garage floor with any success?
I'm looking to buy a kit from Epoxy Paint For Garage Floors – Epoxy-Coat.com and tackle this sometime this summer.
I was wondering if anyone had any luck with any of the standard style kits from Home Depot or Rona and what their results were?
I want something that will last for a long time and will resist spills and hot tire pick-up and is easy to clean and maintain.
Thanks

How does the finished product feel? Is it slippery at all?

Not slippery whatsoever. I like everything about it except the price. I'm guessing you may be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

Nice, price doesn't seem that bad. I'm hoping to start a new garage build soon and I'm going to use something similar on the floor.

Hope it holds up... I've heard lots of bad stories about Behr's supposed 2 part epoxy (I used to work in a Paint Store) and same goes for other people with a quick Google search.
If it was my house I'd go with tiles instead.

I heard varying things about epoxy floors, esp the DIY kind. I'd be interested to know how it lasts over a few years. You need to do proper concrete prep too..
I was gonna go with these guys: Garage Storage Cabinets | Shelving | Flooring | Clever Quarters
They lay down a truly professional floor with a 25 year warranty. I'm sure it's way better than the DIY solutions, of course, it's also way pricier..
