Default Garage Floor epoxy recommendations

The house we're trying to buy (a Short Sale) has a plain, gray, concrete

Muratic acid, followed by a gentle flushing to remove the drywall dust,
drywall mud and other gunk deposited by subcontractors. *Then, I want to
coat it with a dark brown epoxy with vinyl flakes in it.

I know that the dark brown color will make the garage darker than it
presently is, but in NV, auto tires pick up carbon from the effect of UV on
asphalt and leave tracks almost immediately. *The dark brown color disguises
the tracks.

I checked at HD and Lowe's for a dark brown epoxy garage floor coating with
no success. *They offer a very limited range of colors. *Where would you all
recommend finding good 2-part epoxy garage floor coating with the vinyl
flakes?

HC oil concrete stain from Sherwin Williams will might outlast paint
and it doesnt peel. I did mine in 86. It will wear away but be easier
to recoat since it doesnt have the gloss you need to sand off paint to
recoat.
