Ken, sweet shop. www.garagejournal.com is a great site for ideas. I’ve noticed many screen names from OSO on there.

We put epoxy coating with a non skid in the 50x80' shop and its held up really well but we did leave the floor bare after cutting the floor/ filling silicone seal in the cuts for about 6-8 months to let the concrete gas off (or whatever the term is) for maximum adhesion. Shop is set up for straight in / straight out with no turns on the floor so I can't reference to how the finish would hold up to that.

Cleanup is easy with the finished floor...I will add the floor does have radiant heat

If you go to our website. www.mercedeshowroom.com. Look at the pics of the cars & trucks
We put epoxy floors with clear.
And colored chips in it.
It has held up very good for the last 5 years and moving the cars around all the time really gives it a beating.
