Your post of the links didn't work so well, but when I did get them put together, the pics do look sharp!

What color did you go with? Was it a metallic, as the colors appeared to shift from a different angle.

Brian.

Dude, that garage is way too clean and tidy. You have to squeeze around stuff and step over things while your working on your car or you loose the experience. Nice color though.

Armor Seal from Sherwin Williams, Acid wash, power wash,apply first coat thinned 15% second coat straight

Its a two part epoxy, nasty smell but wears like Iron, In fact I did a floor last November for a client and happen to be back at the house two months ago and he asked me to look at some peeling paint on the floor,
It turns out the paint wasn't peeling.......the concrete pulled up about
1/8 inch deep x 2 inches square. He promptly apoligized.
Cost is about $50.00 per gallon, typical two car will take 4 gallons

Good luck if you do yours
