Simply roll it on the edges with the small paint roller and roll the rest with the large paint roller. Use pads for smooth floors. Someone will charge you 450.00 to do it and its too easy not to do yourself. I did it myself and its beautiful. The clear coat paint is already waterproof. spills wipe up easily.
This is what I did, however the Xylene based clear coat (aka sealer) is not a good choice for a working garage. It does not stand up to gasoline, brake cleaner, and several other automotive fluids.

I am going to look into the tile for garages as this may be the best solution.
