Funny you posted this- I'm picking colors right now.
I used Rustoleum at my last house and it held up the 4 years I was there. Not professional series but good enough. CheifApache is the resource for the professional stuff.
Prep is the key- make sure the surface is clean. Muradic acid wash it and let it dry really good.

I agree. If you're going to do it yourself, the Ucoatit stuff is pretty good. Next time I'll pay somebody to to it.

Of equal importance-
Acid cleaning
Correct paint.
Don't have a garage anymore but I used it in my garage in parker and loved it.

don't wash the muriatic acid onto the driveway, will cause concrete to chalk for ever....
Baking soda will neutralize it before you wash it away.....

I agree, if your doing it yourself, dont want to spend too much I used this as well and it held for 5 years.
I used the Behr for the last house as I wanted more color choice, and it was terrible.
Also dont use black!! It looks awesome when it's new and clean, but gets dirty very fast and looks awful

Bear- where you at?
The only thing getting rebuilt in my garage is beer can pyramids so I may just go with a clear coat

Northern Cali, but we can travel anywhere if the price is right.
Im more here to give advice and a helping hand rather than travel though, I just hate to see hard work waisted due to poor information and products. (We see DIY'ers floors fail all the time)

I'm in MD- figured I'd check none the less. Thanks for the freebie advice!
I'm not sure what I am going to do- Home Depot stuff held up just fine after a 400 mile trip in a 8K LB F350 on a 95 degree day at 90MPH and didn't peel which is as hard of a test I'll ever put it to. I like to overkill things and do them right but it handled that just fine so not sure how much more punishment I'll personally ever throw at it.

I was in Barnes & Noble last night, and there is actually a new magazine that is dedicated to garages. Cant remember the name though???
Anyway these guys had a bunch of ads. Looks like they are out west, but site has a bunch of pics for ideas
