Brand new floor coating? What prep?

[jeff000]

So just bought a new house, and with that house is a new garage, and as far as I can tell no one has driven on it yet.
I tried to search what prep, but there is a lot of information on this site and I couldn't think of the search term to get my answer.

I was thinking some kind of epoxy. Being in Edmonton Alberta means some of the options I see listed are not available to me, or are just not as cost effective.

I really wanted racedeck, love the look of the black and white tiles with a red boarder. But it's just too expensive, and this is a parking daily drivers garage, not a show car garage. So I figure epoxy should be fine.

Being new concrete I do not know if there is anything I need to know or not.
And is there a finish that is easy to sweep/squeegee out and non slip, or at least no more slippery then normal garage floor?

Thanks,

How hard would it be to make it look like a checkered tile floor with your product?

Can I use it to paint the bottom of wood cabinets and the like where they are sitting on the ground to protect it from water?
