Default Quality of garage floor epoxies

Does anyone have any experience (other than flat out guessing based on

much better than the 2-part epoxies such as Rustoleum EpoxyShield?
They have companies that will come in and do the floor for you,
hinting that they use some special epoxy that's better than anything
you could apply yourself. Or there are some DIY sites that advertise
epoxy that's "better" than store-bought. But the Rustoleum et al are
2-part epoxies and not cheap themselves, so they must be competitive.
Or not?


Take a look at Progressive Epoxy Polymers

Paul Oman, the owner is very helpful.

Paul Oman here - thanks for the kind words Boden. The Rustoleum
product is first generation waterbased floor epoxy. Today we're at
second or third generation. Note however, that the waterbased floor
epoxies aren't the 'heavy duty' industrial floor epoxies (which aren't
water based). Years ago, I talked with the guy/company that developed
and sold the product now sold by Rustoleum. They sold the product/line
to Rustoleum. Prices: you can expect to pay $50-$100 per gallon for a
good epoxy paint.
