Thanks guys, I sincerely appreciate everyone's feedback on this. I've examined 4 or 5 different coatings today as well as contacted a tech at BASF and concluded that changing it is more work and money than its worth and I'll probably end up just keeping it as-is and adding a second coat of...

That's a good idea, but ever since we put the roof on, it seems to be stabilizing now to the latest photos I posted above. It's interesting to me that some guys think it looks cool, and I can kinda see that, but my purpose for photography and video dictates that it needs to be more of a uniform...

Yes that was just an example photo I took at Costco or some such place to demonstrate the uniformity and gloss I was aiming for.

Here are some updated photos I took this morning. Looks awful. It amazes me how splotchy it is. However the porch area of the building isn't as smooth (I had them make it rougher on purpose for safety during the winter) and it turned out a lot different. The areas you see that are dark grey are...

Why 30 days? And why epoxy? Right now I'm looking at Rust Bullet which says none of that is necessary with their product. I'm also seriously looking at DryLok floor paint which seems to be a decent compromise between cost and effectiveness. Grinding 1200 sq ft seems like not the best option if...

My apologies, I have no idea why one of my photos appears to be upside down. On my computer it looks fine, but when I uploaded, it turned it upside down for whatever reason. Anyway, that photo shows what it looks like out of the sunlight now that the place has a roof over it.

I don't know much when it comes to concrete floors and I made the mistake of trusting a contractor to use his own judgement when trying to achieve the look I was going for. I showed him a picture of the basic look I was going for. A smooth, uniform grey color like in one of my attachments here...
