I used a marine epoxy coat from ICI Dulux paints it has never peeled and held up well in my shop for two years now I will get pics later today or tomorrow

the key to getting epoxy not to peel is in the prepwork start out with a big pressure washer to really get all of the crap out of the pores in the concrete then do a washdown with muriatic acid to etch the concrete then apply the epoxy coat the day after. My garage at home was done this way about 4 years ago and i have had no lifting or peeling at all the home was done with Groit's Garage epoxy floor covering

just a heads up if you have a no texture epoxy covering it tends to get a little slippery when it is wet

i used one on my garage flooring, but i dont know which one it is. My dad did it a very very long time ago, and its holding up good. It does however need a re-coat, but i dont think i will because all the crap in the garage. Let us know how it works out, and pics!

I'm planning to use this PVC flooring:

Except I'll cover the entire floor. It costs about $500-800 for the whole garage depending on how big your garage is and what kind of mat you buy. Cool thing is you just roll it in, and use double sided tape around the edges to hold it down.

Down side is you either have to have flat bottom jacks and jack stands, or you put a metal plate under your standard ones. Otherwise you will cut it.
