The decorative options have increased also.
You may have seen garage floor epoxy kits available at an inexpensive price at your local home improvement store. These Do It Yourself Kits are thin epoxy paints. They are not the same systems used in industrial and commercial areas.

Metallic Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings
Among the most sought after garage floor systems are metallic coatings. These exceptional appearing systems resemble marble. Because of technological innovations, metallic epoxy floor coatings not only look great, but they wear with the same strength and non slip features of colored quartz and decorative chips. They resist hot tires, oil, grease, gasoline and transmission fluids.
Metallic garage floor contractors can apply a system in 1 day and put into service the next.
The application process is the same for a garage as is a high traffic warehouse. The surface prep process begins with mechanic floor grinding or shot blasting. Then any damaged areas are patched and cracks are repaired. Next a primer is added. After the primer is cured, the decorative coating is applied. The last coating protects the surface by using a scratch and slip resistant finish.
After the finish coat is applied, dry time takes a few hours. The metallic floor coating can be used the next day. The final result is showroom quality.
