Brian,I have worked in a couple of shops [mould shops] with epoxy floors, and while it looked good when new, I wouldn't do it in my own shop. Here is why, all of your equipment will need a flat foot added, so that means welding a plate to each leg of each safety stand, your blast cabinet, parts washer, steel legged benches and cabinets, etc. and then a "soft*" surface under that, your floor jack should have "soft*" wheels [*urethane, phenolic or similar]. Then if you, correction when you drop something heavy and hard on your new coating, it will "JUMP" right off the concrete and it will not look as pretty as it used to! If your floor is in rough shape [pitting] this will be the cheapest repair, if cracked this will be temporary at best. Also the ones I encountered were Glass Smooth [there are additives for this but they will add cost] and I couldn't push $#!+ across the floor on the urethane wheeled carts to save my life! This is just my perspective on the "Epoxy coatings" I have encountered. If your garage has done the last of car [etc.] construction duty and you want a "Show-Place" for your toys, they have some gorgeous choices! Harry
