After much research on this site, I decided to coat my new garage with an epoxy system. My garage is a 24 x 42 two story yielding a 1,008 SF lower section completed in Nov. 2010. My primary use is working/storing my rods as well as having a place for the guys to hang out when we have family get togethers, dominos, cards, etc. I have both arc and wire welders as well as cutting torches but will use these outside the garage or at another shop so worrying about splatter will not be a problem. I decided on the Epoxy-coat system and ordered two full kits with a clear coat and a touch up kit per Christine to make sure I had enough. My wife and I completed this over the weekend and we are very happy with the results. There are a few things I would mention that may help others in the future. Don't open the containers in the house, the floor etching in one of my kits had leaked out even though it was in a sealed jug inside a sealed bag, the wife was not to happy. As you can see in the photos, I also used paper along my walls because I am messy. This caused us to have to trim with a knife once the epoxy dried but believe its was worth the effort. Even used the product to give the throne a little bleem. I believe this is a good product and would recommend as a DIY project. We'll wait and see how it holds up.
