I am reading up on the Epoxy Coat system and it sounds great. How does it hold up to gouges and dragging type issues? I have a small enough shop that I need to keep most of it on wheels and I don't want to lay down something that will get ruined the first time I pull out my tablesaw.

I have Epoxy-Coat and it will gouge. I just drug a bicycle kickstand across it and it left a permanent mark. This is 19 days after application. Various little scratches that you don't see unless a light reflects off them. Here is a little blurry photo of a mark where i rolled a rubber base barber chair that had some dirt under the rubber. Kinda acted like sand paper.

Thanks Ruddy. I was going to ask what kind of coating wouldn't have that kind of issue and then realized the answer was probably "bare concrete". If that is the case are there products to at least fancy the floor up a bit? There must be; I was just in Lowes yesterday and they have a semi-gloss finish to their bare concrete floor.
