I hired a company called Texas Tuff Tops to professionally seal my floor. The floor is about 500 square feet and they stripped some epoxy crud I put on years ago and spread a great permanent top on the floor. This was two years ago and it still looks wonderful. Brake fluid left a slight yellow color where is sat for a few weeks, but having this floor done was the best thing I’ve ever done. The cost was $1,500 and well worth it.

the floor is 25 days old and 50 x 30 so its pretty big. I just settled on the epoxy floor paint lowes sells. Its cheaper than going vendor direct. I dont like the flec chips you can add to epoxy paints, so I chose to go with the taupe color (gray-tan) that I think looks best (no chips).

I am concerned on moisture release still going on through the floor. There were 5 cement trucks used for footings and walls, and 1 for the 6 inch thick floor. I may test some plastic cover to see if its still releasing a lot of moisture.

I will keep looking for advice here (thanks so far) before I start.
