Whatever you use, do not skimp on the prep job!
Also, double check with your contractor as to when the concrete can be sealed. I read somewhere that sealing concrete less than a year old isn't recommended, as it hasn't really cured properly before then.

Fortunately this was not a new build but a re-build after a major fire in January, so no worry's (at least it was not my mechanic skills that started the fire :oops: ).
I saw a rustoleum garage floor sealant/paint kit at Lowes today.. I am a bit concerned about paint. As 69 Flatbed mentioned, I'd hate to see it start peeling..
Thanks for the input!!

I've been wanting to get the U-Coat It system. You see in advertised in most of the car mags. It's a two part epoxy, and you can put those flakes of color in it. The reason I haven't is because of running studded tires in the winter, I can't imagine any floor coatings holding up to that.

Fordnatic,
I had not thought about the studded tires come winter.. It looks as if we'll just use a floor sealer and be done with it. We're back in our home now and the garage is slammed with furniture and boxes so it'll be a week or two before we can get to it.. Wish'n I was fishin this weekend! Maybe tomorrow!!
