Hey all,
I've been a casual lurker of GJ for years, spending most of my time at the grassroots motorsports message board. I finally own my own garage as of last month, and have been doing floor prep for a coating prior to moving everything in from my rented space. It's a 16.5'x19' space for ~315 sq.ft.
I've ground down to aggregate w/ a diamond cup wheel so I'm at a good point prep wise. Had to do it due to a previous epoxy type coating. I've got some 200/500/800 grit wheels I intend to use to bring it to close to a polish.
since pics are fun:

Red is crappy behr concrete paint. The black/grey was the unexpected previous coating on half of the space.
End goal would be to keep aggregate look w/ a clear polyurea coating, but lighten up the overall color (something like sky/electric blue would be ideal).
My question is how to achieve that. Can I do a light saturation/tint to a clear polyurea and keep its translucency? Another approach I thought of would be to do a dye or stain to the concrete, then just the clear polyurea over that.
Any particular polyurea products I should be looking at besides Nohr and SPGX? I tried searching for Rustoleum FastKote polyurea here but didn't come back with much.
Thanks!!
