I don't have any experience with ucoatit, but I've seen a kit at Home Depot that is a similar epoxy type system for a lot less money. They have several colors and samples in the store.
I've been thinking of doing it too.

i had the home depot stuff and it looks ok for about 2 years. i put tile down to replace the coating.
ucoatit seems like a quality product, but for me it was expensive and it takes some time to do it.

I've had the U-Coat-It down on my garage floor for about 16 months now. It's a bear to put down due to the noxious-ness of the fumes & takes a few days to cure. You should turn off any pilot lights in the garage during that period as the fumes are flammable.
It is possible to scratch the U-Coat-It - I've done it in a couple of small spots while dragging my 4 post lift around. That said, I've been relatively happy with the stuff. Next time, I'd pay to have a professional due an epoxy coating only because I wouldn't want to deal with the fumes again.

My garage has an 11 year old epoxy finish that needsa something done to it. Over time the tires start to stick to and it flakes. I am considering using a new COIN PATTERN porduct. Cost about 800 dollars for a 20 x 20 garage shipped.
