Epoxy floor coatings have become increasingly popular, especially for garage floors. These coatings offer durability, resistance to stains, and a glossy finish that enhances the garage's overall appearance. Here's an example of how you can install these floor coatings for your garage.

First, prepare the surface. Clean the garage floor thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants that may interfere with the epoxy bonding. Repair damages or cracks in the concrete floor, as they may affect the bonding of the epoxy coating.
Next, apply the epoxy coating. Start by applying a primer layer to the floor, creating a strong bond with the concrete. Once the primer has dried, mix the epoxy coating with a hardener and apply it to the floor using a roller or brush. Be sure to work in small sections and use a squeegee to spread the coating evenly.
After applying the epoxy, wait for it to cure. Depending on the product and conditions, this may take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. After it has cured, you can add a topcoat to enhance the shine and durability of the coating.
Note that installing epoxy floor coatings can be complex, and mistakes can lead to a less-than-perfect finish. If you're uncomfortable tackling this project alone, consider hiring a professional to do it for you. A professional will have the expertise, tools, and experience necessary to ensure that your garage floor coating looks great and lasts for years.
