usually most guys who know their stuff will add final urethane top coat to protect base epoxy,,, lots of vinyl flakes are good slip-resistant surface but most won't pay addl $,,, from what we saw in jan, most garage floors aren't good for traction as original conc was 'burned' ( highly burnished w/trowel machine ), - sharks grip or not,,, suspect $ is reason as good floors cost more $,,, most epoxies i saw were water-based - NOT solvent-based - more susceptible to 'hot tire' pickup & adhesion loss,,, 1 other important note - for success, concrete MUST be diamond ground 1st to provide correct profile for adhesion,,, industrial epoxy floors ( incl polyaspartics & polyureas ) last 7yrs,,, done right, a good garage floor will last a lifetime
thinking out loud - considering avg age of tv h/o's, make that several lifetimes of successive owners ;-)
