aggregate, fine, but don't overdue it.</font></p>

Subject: [Shop-talk] Garage Floor Paint
Hi all... I've decided to coat my garage floor with something - the bare concrete just sheds too much dust to consider the garage "clean".
Every time I sweep, it looks like Pigpen from the Peanuts comics.
I can hire a painting contractor to come in and do the job, but it would be a lot easier on me if I could do half at a time (shifting all the boxes and benches from half to half), but I expect that would increase the cost of the contractor. 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.
Associated question: The original builders put some gouges and craters in the floor. Nothing too big, but maybe there's a successful way to fill them before coating?
-- Jeff
