Epoxying large garage in sections (minimizing seams).

Attached 3-car (1400 sqft)
While my garage isn't huge (1400sf), it's a job I'm tackling by myself. Also, I have a decent amount of stuff in the garage at this point and moving all of it out for a week or so is undesirable, so doing it in two installs appears to be the way to go (even if I have to rent a grinder twice). All that said, I'd like to minimize the visibility of seams between doing the epoxy in sections. I plan on doing a high quality, full rejection install (favoring Epoxy-Coat but humoring alternatives).

Looking for technique recommendations on how to best accomplish this. This is fairly new, high pressure concrete that has expansion hardware built into the concrete so I don't have clear expansion joints to use otherwise the demarcation choice would be simple. Without guidance I'd probably mask off where I'm stopping on the first section, perform that install, remove the masking, remask just into the first install, perform the second install, and then sand/buff the seam (possibly reapplying a small amount of top coat along the seam after). But I suspect there is probably a better way. Thanks in advance.

Use of a produce like our SPGX one part polyurea or Spartacote Polyaspartic would allow you to do the job in a single day and get your belongings back inside right away, that’s one of the advantages of these categories.
if you want to go with an epoxy system and will be using flecks they visually hide any seams. Also if you gave any saw cuts or joints in the floor those are natural breaks to start and stop.
