Need to coat my garage floor.
The plan is to (in the next month or so) take a day and do a nice epoxy (or whatever) coat on the garage floor. I plan on taking everything out of the garage, using a concrete cleaner and get it nice and prepped... and then coat it.
I've been searching solutions but need recommendations. Who has done this, what did you do, and what would you recommend.
I'm thinking light grey with dark grey chips... anybody?

It's real easy. I got it from Home Depot 6 or 8 weeks ago. I went with gray, but they also had blue. The flakes are white and gray. Kits with the epoxy and flakes were $60/ea. I needed 3 kits for my large 2 car garage. I can't remember the manufacturer's name, but it was the only kit that Home Depot sold.
The only prep I did was pressure wash the concrete floor. I also had a small crack that I sealed. Then it's just mix the 2 stage epoxy and paint.

I was just reading about the acid cleaning. Based on what I've been reading, I think I'm going to need to spend about $300. I'm going by HD and Lowes this afternoon to see what they've got, but I think I'm going to go with a kit like this one: http://www.epoxy-coat.com/
I'm going to use the chips sparingly. I'm feelin' ya on not being able to find small things that are dropped, but I also think that with some chippage, imperfections and stains that will happen over time will be hidden as well.
