If you’re going to epoxy coat the floor, be sure the acid etch the shit out of it and degrease it good. The rustoleum kits often go on sale at lowes and are a good DIY setup. They also sell the cleaners and etching there too.
Keep in mind oil + gloss epoxy is water on ice type slippery, so if you’re planning that type of work I suggest a satin finish coat, or a shit ton of fleck to add texture.
Also bright colors are better for larger spaces with minimal lighting. Reflect as much light for low shadows. Dark floors and walls in a larger garage blow unless you’re running lots of lights, or big halides or xenons

Be sure whatever floor epoxy/paint you get can withstand massive amounts of semen and ass juice.

When you feel like your doing it all right…

HOLY SHIT. Check out his “shop” too. Talk about target audience. Bolt on some expensive fucking parts and afford a few mill in toys at home.
BACK ON TOPIC THOUGH.
Like adam said, GRITTY floor, or the first radiator you dump out on the floor you will be in the hospital and the chiropractor. Gritty, yet sealed for easy clean up. And make sure like he said too, the prep work PRIOR to coating must be done. I have been in way too many shops that had “epoxy coated” floors, that are chipping up all over the place.

In all honesty, some built in work bench/storage drawers against one wall or the back wall and side wall are always a good start. Epoxy seal the floor with the [ucoatit.com](http://ucoatit.com) stuff, Sheetrock the walls and ceiling, add plenty of fluorescent 4-foot light fixtures on the ceiling and maybe some on the wall on a seperate circuit so you could turn them off seperate from the ceiling. A stationary air compressor with hard lines and multiple ports in the garage with proper moisture traps, in line oilers, etc. and a lift if you have the room.
