Just make sure you take your time cleaning and etching. Being brand-new, your floor will likely not have much in the way of oil stains. Mine did. The previous owner was not very careful about keeping oil off the floor and even as hard as I tried, I still had some difficulty with oil seeping through the coating when it was all done. This 24'x48' floor took five kits total with very little left over. I added non-slip grit to the mix and chose the blue/grey color chip flakes to toss on top as I went along. All told, this one took me three days. One day cleaning, one day etching, and one day coating.

Hello. Just bought a house that has a 2 car garage with an ugly concrete floor. What are the current best solutions for a covering? Race deck? Some kind of epoxy coating? I'm tough on floors- floor jacks, dropped tools, some hobby welding, grinding, etc. My brother's place has ventilated race deck, and after working in his garage for a few days, I hate it. Too uncomfortable to kneel on, swallows small hardware, and I wouldn't know where to begin with a sloppy oil change clean up.
I used the same product, but top coated with a clear. As I recall, RustOlem sells three different, but similar products. Go with the highest quality (most expensive). It is worth it. The coverage per pack is overstated. Divide the garage into areas that are about 75% of what the package instructions say will be covered. Many 2 or 3 car garages have joints. These are good places to divide up the paint and not show a start/stop line.
The instructions say to pour some out on the floor and spread it with a roller. This was unsatisfactory for me. I poured the product into a common roller pan. The open time for the epoxy was good (70 degrees, low humidity), but I suspect you would run into problems if you stopped for a beer in the middle of an application.

Gets better... Looks like it is registered through Russia.
