I used the Quikrete Epoxy Kit, I bought it at Lowes. I picked the tan color as our siding is tan.
The flakes are little speckles (3 complementery colors) that come in the kit in a shaker bottle that you can shake into the wet epoxy after you roll it on (or not, your choice). Adds a little interest as the floor then doesn't look like a flat, solid color. I like them too because now you don't notice every little speck of dirt on the floor.
Gfmucci,
If you're are any kind of a 'do it yourselfer', you'll find this is a very easy job, especially if you don't have anything to move out of the garage.
To etch it, I bought a scrub brush with a long handle. I stood up to do it. I did park my vehicles at the road (not in the driveway) just so the etching stuff wouldn't have any chance of spattering on my car or cart.
Then rinsed it with the water hose.
Let it dry, overnite if need be.
Then I put a long handle on a roller, went around the edge with a paintbrush, and stood up and rolled the rest on. Very quick and easy...
I chose not to do the gloss clearcoat. Thought it may make the floor slippery. Also figured every time I pulled something across the floor, it may take some of the shine off.
