I think it was Sherwin Williams 2 part expoxy. I know the half of the shop was a PITA to do but it has held up quite well.

Thanks guys! Yep, Cameron is correct, it has sherwin williams professional series floor paint, and it does stink! Very labor intensive, let me tell you. I have spots we have to touch up on the first side we painted.

Did you have to strip the floor, ie did it already have a clear coat on it? How long did it take you guys once you started on it? How is it when it has water on it? More Slippery than regular floor surface?

Got them from American Equipment company. Good deal they have right now. We'll be getting a tire machine and balancer from them as well soon.
The floor process took about 5 to 7 days for each side. We had to grind the floor with rented floor grinders, then put down an epoxy primer, which was clear, then put the paint on, then put the tinted clear on. If I were to do it over again, which I will have to in 7 or 8 years, I would NOT go with a tinted clear. It really is disappointing to me, as I wanted the deep, thick look to it and you don't get that with tinted clear. It is kind of slick when wet, but we put sand on the clear after we rolled it, and it gives it good traction. We did that just in traveled spots.
