What's the latest on garage floors??

It's time to paint the new floor. Lift is in. My neighbor wants to go in together and get that black & white snap together tile deal. Seems to me it boils down to Rustoleum Epoxy (Lowes has alot of different colors, prep. etc.), Groits or U-Coat-It. Looks like U-Coat-It is the best but may be overpriced. Anybody try the Rustoleum or something else that works well? BTW - the floor is six months old now.

My brother-in-law just finished his garage. He used medium gray POR-15 on the floor. Came out great! You know that stuffs never coming off. I think I will do the same.

How was it prepped, According to the instructions you 1st have to wash it down with degreaser, then a coat of etching primer, then a coat of sealer primer, then the paint...can you skip a step or two here?

I am thinking that they just washed the floor and dried it well before coating. They decided it would make a great floor coating when my nephew spilled some while using it on his car. They tried everything to get it off. Then the light bulb went on.

I'll double check that prep info for ya.
