Question: What is the best product to coat your garage floor with?
I would like to get that nice show room floor look in my garage but I am not sure what the best product to achieve this look is. I have read that epoxy coating are best, but can be slippery. This will be a DIY project, but I am not afraid to do multiple coats. Links that explain the system would be great thanks a lot.
Great answers. The link to the U-coat system was great. Is U-Coat the industry leader in garage floor coating products?
And to the first answerer. The faux wood floor looks amazing.

I did a combination of concrete stain and epoxy paint. I then sealed with 3 coats of ZEP high traffic floor finish. The key to keeping epoxy paint is to apply light coats and let cure between coats.

Basic types of garage floor paints: epoxy, resinous polymer, and
acrylic. Epoxy can take up to 10 days to cure and acrylic about 10 hours.
They both look showy but the epoxy stands up to more abuse like
off road vehicles, workshop activities, dragging marks, chemical spills, etc. The acrylic comes in a gloss and a stone effect available in a range of colors. Epoxy tints are limited. See the links provided for both types of paint and YouTube tutorials.
