Shan, looks like you did a great job on this this past summer. You say the paint is pretty resistant to all sorts of fluids such as not flaking or taking it off. Does it still stain or does it wipe off just as easy and not stain?

Everything just wipes up, it's great.

One thing, when it's wet it's VERY slippery.

The 2 part epoxy products will hold up to virtually all household and auto spills. The most important thing with the epoxies, and they don't stress this enough, is preparing the base. My company has installed/laid these type of floors since 1997 in commercial and industrial applications. We have seen no problems or performed any recoats. If you want the application to hold, prepare the base following the instructions to the point of overkill, especially along edges, corners and areas that will be exposed to weather and sun. we had a media-blasting machine that would prep the concrete for us before we laid the sealer. If you have even the faintest spot of oil or moisture or grime, the product won't stay down. That is why they tell you to wait on new pours, they have to cure. The epoxies you buy at auto zone or pep boys are fair, but I can turn you on to some truly awesome products that will last.

I agree, preparing the concrete is critical. I used two different kinds of cleaner, one a citrus based acid wash. I also used my power washer, then let it sit overnight. The preparation took almost as long as the paint application. But, with out it, you're wasting your time.
