My wife and her ex did the garage floor in our house before I met her and it didn't hold up well at all. I raced sports cars and a friend and I rented a small warehouse (new construction) and we epoxy coated the floor. It held up to spills of gas, oil, gear lube, antifreeze, brake clean, lacquer thinner... you name it, we probably spilled it... even a beer or two!
I'd love to empty the garage at our house, strip all the old paint off the floor and epoxy coat it, but the darn thing is so full of aquarium stuff it would take me 3 days to empty it!

Hello Ron,
yeah That is a valid point I know exactly what your talking about (two part epoxy paint) and I was considering buying it but went with the gallon of grey colored concrete paint. I'm still easily a few days away from painting so another trip to HD or lowes isn't a biggie to do it right the first and only time.
On the other hand I can't feel too bad for a man that can't paint his garage floor becuase he has too much aquarium stuff on it.LOL. IMO that's a good problem to have.
