Staining a Floor and sealing it?

[Schmokie]

I have read all I can possibly read about VCT, Epoxy coats and hard tile. I am just thinking, what would happen if I cleaned the floor and stained it then put a sealer over it? I fabricate and weld, work on cars in my garage and want to keep as much money in my pocket.
Can it be done and does anyone know of any sites that show pictures?

I think there are some on here that have done it... I'm curious as to how it would hold up as well as the cost of going this route.

Stain and seal holds up well and is easy to touch up if using a dye as opposed to acid. Cons would be strong solvents can affect dye or sealer if left on the floor.

We have topcoats that will resist chemicals and still look awesome over stain.

Crete Coater, that looks good, what colors do you have and what would it cost for a 425 sqft garage? By the way, I hope you didn't eat the waffle. And same out to you legacy, give me a ballpark cost and again don't eat a ***********.

Schmokie:
I think CreteCoater is an installer judging by his pic.
Perhaps we can quote materials and he can offer an install number?

We only send out quick quotes to an email address as it's too difficult to keep track.
Can you PM me your email?
