redulator, how do you like the chips in the floor?  I'm gonna paint my floor white, but I don't want the chips because although they look really good, I want to be able to find dropped fasteners and stuff easily...

First off dude, I wouldn't want to drop a drop of oil or fluid on that fine floor in the first place. That is one classy application. That said, I do know what you're talking about when you want find stuff. I've found that if I know where I droped the item or the general vacinity I use either a strip magnet or any  magnet to brush across the surface until it picks up. If it's not  metallic or you didn't find the first try a broom or vac is good for that. But to re-paint such a fine piece of work would have to bear a second thought for the reason stated. It's just my opinion is all of course.

I'm planning on putting that same paint scheme down on my garage this year sometime.

ah, that's what I was thinking.  I'm buying a new home so I'm trying to decide what to do with the garage, so luckily, no repainting here.  Just trying to figure out what I want to do with my own space    Thanks for the info!  I like the idea of white too because it'll help reflect extra light up while I work on stuff.  REALLY looking forward to a fully functioning garagespace

Not to threadjack too severely but before Jen and I moved into our house I had the garage floor painted with that epoxy floor paint. A nice light gray color. The guy that painted it did an awesome job. He really took time to prep it right since it wasn't a new home. It was built in 1969. He did an acid bath on it to clean it and painstakingly hand patched every single crack and chip. I had six 8 foot double bulb, high intensity light fixtures installed too. Let's just say there are no shadows anywhere in my garage!! Looked fabulous!

Now, the part that sucks! The summer of 2006 was a bad drought year if you remember. It never rained and was hot as hell. I had over 300 feet of soaker hose around the foundation of the house and ran them a lot! But every damn crack in the garage floor that was patched returned with a vengance!!! And you guessed it, cracked the painted floor big time! There are "rivers" of cracked paint all over the floor. It's not the painters fault, he did a great job. And by '06 my garage was totally full of garage s#@t so taking it all the way back to empty and starting over was not an option. Really sucks. Wish I had done stain instead of paint. The cracks wouldn't be so awful and obvious on a stained floor.

Just my two cents.

It's actually my floor    the chips are no big deal for finding stuff on, and really help hide the typical floor imperfections (cracks, low spots etc).  If I had to do it again though, I would probably race deck tile the floor (or something similar).  The paint is too nice for a working floor, and I feel like I'm tearing it up swinging jacks and stands on it.  

I actually picked up some rubber coin tiles from Lowes's last winter when planning to do some heavy work on the race car, and it worked great.
