I will give my $0.02

I put epoxy coating on my garage floor approximately 6 years ago. Did =
all the proper prep work and it went down very easy. I put the chips =
down but would not recommend this if you want to find ANY small parts =
that fall onto the floor. I also put down the silicate Anti-Slip chips =
which I would also not recommend (much harder to clean the floor as the =
chips catch all the dirt). I also put down the clear coat which I would =
also not recommend. It yellowed pretty quickly. After the first year - I =
was not impressed with the epoxy coating but I lived with it while =
looking at what else was available. I looked for the next 4 years.=20

I concur with the others about putting down Race Deck - I ended up =
putting down Race Deck about 6 months ago. There are a number of reasons =
that I am very happy with this product besides looking great.=20
1. It was very easy to install even with a garage full of cars and =
tools.
2. It is holding up great to dropped tools (the epoxy tended to chip =
with large wrenches being dropped), floor jacks and my 4-post Bend Pac =
lift.=20
3. It is impervious to any kind of liquid I have dropped on it to date: =
including coolant, oil (the epoxy stained with oil), brake fluid.=20
4. I can easily find small parts that have dropped.
5. Clean up is so simple - Sweep with a broom, wet mop, and it looks =
like new.
6. The best part is my knees now feel great after working in the garage =
all day. Working on the cement all day was killing my knees. The epoxy =
did nothing to help that. The cushion from the Race Deck did the trick. =
I can work all day now and not wake the next morning feeling 150 =
years-old. (word of advice for anyone putting down race Deck - lay =
landscape fabric down under the Race Deck - That will keep it from =
sounding like you are walking on plastic.
