I fail to understand the compulsion for a epoxy or painted garage

See the hanger floor. I've been inside and it is spotless. Been in
several hangers working on an air force base.

garage floors are supposed to be dirty with grease and oil stains, not
a fancy finished surface that will sooner or later *demand
recoating....


Dirty garage floors are dangerous. Look at any professional shop and
you'll see clean floors - epoxy.


airplanes are much more precision than the average vehicle which will
tend to leak fluids like oil....

besides air force bases are paid for by the public so they can spend a
gazillion bucks on them.

while no one wants a slip or fall hazard garage floor, they dont have
to be perfect.

and certain leaking fluids on epoxy is likely more slippery than on
concrete
