Nice job. I remember applying a Behr Concrete Floor paint after properly etching the concrete and having hot tire pickup issues within weeks. The newer epoxy apint is the way to go.

This is what I recently used too! I can't even get the floor clean now.
Hey Tom, what did you use before if you don't mind me asking.

Looks great BTW!
Well, it was a single stage floor epoxy, made by Quikcrete I believe, I followed the instructions to a T and did it 2 years apart after it failed the first time. I did it again, but I also didn't use a machine on the floor like I did this time to prep it. I can tell you, this stuff is thick and almost rubber like. It was kind of expensive, but if I never have to go to this trouble again then it's worth it.
Just curious but couldn't you just epoxy like the floor like you did, and then make some ramps out of those floor tiles so that your hot tires don't sit directly on the ground? Thus giving you a sealed and pretty floor but also protection from the hot tires???

Well, you could I guess, never thought of doing that. This stuff is supposed to withstand hot tires, since I'm a new user of the product, I can't speak from experience other than their claims. Anyone familar with this product can speak to how well it withstands hot tires?
yeah...it was just a random thought...might work for those guys that used a less expensive/tedious epoxy process. I would hope that a good job like you did wouldn't need any extra protection...but I'm sure you don't want to keep going through that process either if in fact this coating fails.
