Anyone used this product yet? It's available at Lowe's near me. It's is labeled as a "one-part acrylic epoxy blend." Could this be as good as the two-part stuff?

In my experience one part "epoxy" is little more than paint. Epoxies are by definition a catalyzed product- they have a base "paint" and an activating hardener. You have to mix the two together to start a chemical reation for it to harden. A one part is NOT an Epoxy, just a paint. I would go with the two part mixes myself.
The guy next door used the Quick Crete 2 part epoxy and his has held up real good. He did it last April and through the summer heat seen no problems. He aslo waited a couple of days extra before pulling his cars in. Better go with the 2 part epoxy.

Back to the original question: Has anyone used this particular product and if so, what were the results? Thanks.

I guess that answers your "original question"

Stay away. FAR away. Know two people who've done it. You might as well just use oil-based paint... everywhere you park a car frequently, the tires will peel it up. And forget about any kind of impact resistance. It just chips.
This goes for all "One part epoxy" products. You want a 2-part mix with as high of a solids content as possible. They cost a lot more, but they last more than 6 months, too.
