I used u-coat-it and did it myself - results are incredible and i highly
recommend it - i used light grey with gloss clear coat and the anti slip
grit but no flakes.
multi-part water based epoxy is the only way to go, IMHO, but surface
prep is everything - you should have a vapor barrier under the concrete
or risk the entire coating lifting, coating will lift over every grease spot -
or at least so i'm told - mine was a new floor with vapor barrier so i've
had no problems whatsoever.
Be very careful with anti slip grit if you use it - the stuff you you get
with
ucoatit is extremely fine and there isn't much of it but its plenty - you
put it on after the first coat and its invisible - until you put on 2 more
coats
and then each grain becomes about 100 times its original size
