Like most people I researched the options. Finally ended up with a "HOT TIRE PROOF" 2 part floor paint from LOWES, VALSPAR brand. New house, etched the floor with muriatic acid (dangerous stuff!!!), let it sit a few weeks, and applied 2 coats. After the first coat pinhead size bubbles appeared. I was talking to the neighbor, house built same time, painted floor slightly after his, and he mentioned the same problem. Apparently still curing, moisture pushing thru paint. Sanded the floor, applied second coat and got rid of most of the pinhead size bubbles. Bottom line, if you drop, spill, etc anything on the floor, paper towels, 409,simple green, etc and it cleans as new.
Rolled it on and although 2 part a piece of cake!
NO OTHER WAY TO GO!!!
