For the guy looking to use the U-coat it stuff, read everything on the subject at www.garagejunkies.net, a lot of negatives about U-Coat It, especially warranty help (supposedly deny everything) If you want to use Rustoleum,use the solvent based' Industrial coating only comes in gray, but A LOT more durable than the water based Home Depot Rustoleum kits. You will have to buy it online. The results are all in the prep, vac floor, wash with detergent, let dry, acid etch (muriatic), scrub and rinse 3 times, let dry and do the finger test ( wipe your finger on prepped concrete) if nothing shows up, start painting!

Cool poster I had mounted on canvas and coated to preserve it and make it look more like a painting. It was two halves that are attached in the middle to measure 4'x 10'. Dated 1966. The canvas is stretched and nailed to a wood frame.

I had my bodyshop building floor polished when I built it back in 1980. That was before I knew about the epoxy floors that they have today. I must say that it is not a bad choice. Oil will just wipe up and it is easy to wash and sweepup anything.

I think the adition of some color would be a good choice. Just be sure that they are using a higher grade (4500lb) of concrete or it will have too coarse of a finish.

At least you won't have to worry about it peeling off.

For those of you that don't understand what we are talking about if you have ever paid any attention to the floor in hospitals or other public buildings that is high polished concrete.
