Our floor has never had a coating put on it and has no cracks, so we're going to prep with a degreaser, acid etch the surface and then apply an epoxy coating. We're going to use ArmorSeal 1000HS. The painter has done this for the local Hummer and Chevy dealers as well as some other commercial locations, so he has some experience with it. We'll throw in a little sand to make sure the floor isn't slippery.

We'll be using some of the Garageworks products in the pictures above. We had GarageTek come by (here in New York) and they want to put plastic on everything and we way too expensive.
