Default Finished my Floor!!

As most of you know I have been doing some work on my garage.
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=410572

Anyway, recently at one of the local Home Shows I met a guy who does Concrete Staining. We talked about my plans for my garage and to do the Quickcrete Epoxy stuff. He said he has seen that stuff come up under tires if you do not prep well. So after talking price with him (which was phenominal, a great deal!) I decided not to do the epoxy. Anyway...on to the pics.
Before:



After Etching and Cleaning:



Stain Applied:



FINISHED PRODUCT!!

Nope, no epoxy. It is a stain similar to staining a deck, except with concrete it goes on like paint and you have to apply more coats. You can still see some of the imperfections in the concrete, but not much due to the flakes.

Warranty on labor and stuff, but he told me what to avoid, like spilling gas, transmission fluid, etc. That is no problem because I have a shed out back I do all my yard work from so...no gas in the garage. And I am not a mechanic so...no transmission fluid in there either. Its gonna be fun to play ping pong on it though!
