My dad used two part epoxy paint from Sherwin Williams. It looks real
good after several years. He is not a car person -- few oil spills but
the tires never have pulled up the paint. He lives in Phoenix; the tires
are always hot.
You may go into sticker shock when you price the stuff.
The etching beforehand is right on. On new home, you may need to wait a
year until all the alklai leeches out.
Also, after you hose down a painted floor, it is very, very slick. Its a
catch-22 deal -- great for easy clean up and scooting around on a
creeper but it is flat dangerous when you soap it down and hose it out.
Some folks think mixing some sand with the paint to cure the
slipperiness. I would hate to have to creep or drag myself under a car
fighting the sand in the floor.
