I had a company come in and do my garage floor before I moved into a newly built house. They did a moisture test, and did a 'hybrid' multi-coat, using an epoxy 'blend' and top coat of polyaspartic resin.

They prepped the floor with a diamond grinder, no primer, then applied the epoxy. They allowed it to cure to a certain point before adding grey/white/black flakes, then coated with resin.

True on the 'not cheap', and I shopped for weeks with quotes all over the place. As an example, for a 26x24 slab, it ranged from $2500 up to a breathtaking $16k. I ended up paying $4k, which was in 2022 money. Especially considering the amount of prep work there was.

I beat the heck out of it, and it's taking the punishment, so am satisfied and not regretting the cost.

One thing I will point out though, with the flake, if I drop a screw/bolt/nut/washer, it can take a half-hour to find it, even if it's right at my feet! Heheh! Most of the time if I put my cheek to the floor and look at floor level, I can find it, but if you're planning on doing a lot of work in there, I would suggest a solid color or at least something that provides some contrast.

EDIT: Make sure you give it ample time to cure, and then wait another few days!
