The epoxy is about $60 per one car garage. So you will need two sets if you have a two car garage. It comes with almost everything you need. They sell a few different sets, some are tintable, some come with colors (grey, tan). If you get the tintable one, you will need to get a gallon of the paint color you want.

It takes 72 hours to cure and it took us no more than 3 hours to do the whole floor.

It's been about a month since we had it and we have dropped so much crap on it: oil, bricks, paint cans, and yet to see any chips what-so-ever. Overall it's pretty solid. I can see it could be a little better, but definitely not $1300 better.

I read through a bunch of reviews before actually doing it, and it seemed like people weren't reading the instructions. Some people were pulling in their cars 48 hours afterwards, but the DVD clearly said to make sure the floor gets a minimum of 72 hours to dry AT a certain temperature. Some people's floors were peeling up on their tires because they were pulling it in way too early.

I have yet to even get tire marks on my floor yet any peeling. Patience is a BIG part of this project. The instructions definitely says prep work is the most important part to getting a good floor. Pardon the floor in the pics, I haven't had a chance to clean it thoroughly yet.
