DON'T.........

Buy Rust - Oleum anything. It's junk. The only think worth it is a two stage epoxy following a muratic acid etching. Groit's sells it, and I'm sure many more will chime in too.

I have one from Lowes, not the Quikrete one though. It looks pretty good however it isn't as strong as they say and it scratches pretty easily.

how does the epoxy stand up to rolling jacks? does it crack/chip the expoxy?

If you put it down right it doesn't chip or crack but it does get scratched up when using roller jacks. The clear coat I put on top of the epoxy is probably what is scratching on mine.

Did it myself about 3 years ago. Has been holding up very well. Though I regloss it once a year cause I like the "shiny wet" look.
If I could do it again though I would of done some kine of conrete stain instead. Because of the black gloss that I picked, its just like a black painted car, never looks good unless clean.
