Not quite as evenly done as I had wanted, but I'm happy with it overall. Let's see how well it sticks. I prepped it as well as I could, with cleaner and a pressure washer, but the prior owners had oil all over the place...I hope it doesn't start peeling on me:

Actually, now that I think about it...I think the pics were taken when it was still drying (right after I finished the last section)...so it looks a bit better than those pictures. I'll try to take more recent pics later...it dried pretty even, but there are a few spots where I can see the changes from the roller...

It was actually pretty easy to put on...epoxy has the consistency of water when it's still wet...so that's why it was kind of hard to tell how even the coats were, when I was putting it on...but like I said, it dried up a lot better looking. I'll have to take more recent shots later...

My wife and I had just moved, so I did it before the garage was filled with stuff...that's one of the hard parts is clearing out the garage for a week. In normal weather, it takes 7 days to cure...where you can't park on it. You can walk on it after about 24 hours. Aside from a place to park your crap and your cars, then you have to prep...which from what I hear, is the absolute key to making it turn out okay and having it stick. We'll see if I cleaned it good enough to make it stick... :)
