• I have an area of pitting that I should have filled first. I think the self leveling concrete patch would have worked. The issue here is that I used more epoxy paint in this area trying to "fill" the pits. Also the pits collect dirt. So this issue is mostly cosmetic.
  
• Second I would have used the paint flakes to break up the solid gray. After I clean it up, I sound like my wife when I yell because someone just walked over my clean floor with dirty shoes. I think the paint flakes would hide some of the dirt rather than the solid gray. Again cosmetic. 
  
• I've seen a clear coat the really makes it shine. I think that over the flakes would look grert. A little more money and time, but if your already into the project.. I know cosmetic.
  
• Lastly I would have added more silica sand for non skid. Yep it can get slick. The only time I dropped my bike was in the garage. I rolled the bike back just enough to unlock the jiffy stand. When I leaned back onto the stand which was folding up, I realized the stand wasn't there. The bike was already way over and my foot was slowly sliding away. Yep slow mo drop to the floor.

Boy Abnmarie that is one nice garage. Where did you purchase the tile? My neighbor just did his in brown epoxy looks OK but it didn't fill any of the cracks so they stand out.

after visiting a bunch of websites i have found out that the floor tiles like race deck are subject to expansion from direct sunlight which will cause them to curl and buckle, which will revert once they cool. also the seams are not water tight so when i park my car in the garage in the winter and all the snow and ice melt off and combine with the salt and seep through all the seams i'm sure that will cause it to lift when it refreezes when it's -10 or my tires will freeze to the tiles and i'll peel them up when i back out. option given on most web sites is to uninstall until spring then put back down. sounds like it's not meant for day to day usage year round. more like nice weather only, show cars and toys, no water, ice, salt etc.

epoxy when put down correctly will not lift when exposed to freezing cold, impervious to sun, salt, snow, ice, rain, mud, washing it down, hot tires will not lift or stick to it. all i can see is good prep, quality product, and some anti-slip will result in a great finish. only bad thing is not to apply in direct sunlight because concrete when hot gives off some sort of off gas that will result in epoxy bubbling and result in not adhereing to that area. and you only have to do it once. hopefully,lol.
all in all i think epoxy is better suited for my needs for bad weather, permanent, don't have to baby it. just my 2 cents. i plan on doing my garage later this year
