CURIOUS ?
It's like an epoxy. The colors are a dull primer when dry. I don't know what the clear is but it is strong. Had to leave the house from the fumes. It last for about 4 hours.

Coats
Primer all of foor
White all of floor
Black Taped off for squares
Red Taped off.

Very easy to clean. I mostly use water. Sometimes I add car wash soap if grease gets on floor. Floor was a little slippery for two years, now it's fine. You can add flakes or grit if you want. The only reason I didn't add grit is your broom will catch on the grit and I thought that was a pita when sweaping. The floor did dull a little by the garage overhead door because I get afternoon sun. Garage faces west. Shot some more clear and good as new.

My nephew did Race Deck. It excellent also. The only thing I like more about mine is the gloss. Race Deck is dull but they may have new selections to pick from. Both floors about the same cost. I twas also able to do my door step and foundation, not just garage floor.

Wish I had room for a coach, I would love to have the Mens lounge in my garage.

Fear not, I'll coach ya...if I can get dibs on a corner of that warm garage come snow time.

disclaimer: said coaching may do more harm then good but is still available for a reasonable hourly rate to provide humor and amusment.

That's what I get for not using spell check. But coaching would be nice with the right coach.

I hate that pic. The log was only holding up the tail end of the engine so I could get the engine hoist bolted up and engine mounts unbolted without the trans attached.
At a given time I have used 6 jack stands on the car.
