I put a addition on my golf cart garage. I wanted a nice floor to keep the dust down and have a cool room to sip some suds in while watching the race. To properly put a coating down, you must do a acid etch. I could not do that because I did not want to risk staining my driveway pavers. I contacted a company calle "Big Floors" out of Utah. I bought these floor tiles for $1.98 per square foot delivered. I put them down myself in a few hours. Cutting is a piece of cake. I think this is a better way to go rather than painting/staining. Every driveway/ garage I have ever seen after coating has had problems. This is something that you are married to. I see coatings coming up and people wish they had left the concrete natural. Best of luck however you decide.
