Sounds like these guys aren't putting in turbo chargers and replacing trannies in their garage ;)

I'm not conviced a 'high solid' clear coat is going to prevent cracks from jackstands holding up a 2800+ pound car. :ph34r: Especially with the kind of work you are doing in the garage. Im sure this stuff can hold up to minor abuse, but doubt it can take the abuse some normal mechanic garages go through. I certainly dont see Canada tire or any speedy muffler shops coating their floors with this stuff. <_<

If the epoxy (which I am assuming would be stronger than a clear coat paint) can't hold it, then a paint won't do it either.

I think those black and white tiles that Anthony posted would look a lot cooler in you're garage. Especially with the diamond plate cabinets.

When my Dad was a Ford dealer principal I used to go every year and epoxy the floor of the garage where ever Ford had him at the time. It was a great summer job. The epoxy was good, but certainly not great at stopping everything from getting into the cement.
