[Shop-talk] Garage Floor Paint

[Mike Sinclair]

I used muriatic acid to prepare the floor after a thorough cleaning.  
(Easier to do on a brand new floor).  Muriatic acid is bad stuff; be 
careful.  The paint was called something-Chex, I forget the exact name.  
Highly recommended, but I was not impressed, as it seemed to wear off 
after awhile.  Made cleanups easy, tho.  If you use a little aggregate, 
fine, but don't overdue it.

So, are there good DIY solutions to garage floor coatings?  I'm not as concerned about the aesthetics of the seam where the coatings overlap - anything is better than what I've got.
