I did RUSTOLEUM epoxy on my brand new floors 3 kits for 1500 ft sq. I used VALSPAR texture additive, I DID NOT use the ENCLOSED flakes, I find it makes the floors too busy if trying to locate a dropped screw or the like.

The kits came with CITRIC ACID, however I etched the concrete with muratic acid, pressure washed then let dry for 2 days then checked them--- still had a powdery residue... pressure washed again, 2 days no residue...
I did half and half.. while doing the first half I dripped a couple of drops of paint on the non finished half... 2 days later when I took a razor blade to scrape them up... they took the floated finish of the concrete off with the paint chips... I'D HAVE TO SAY IT BONDED!

2 weeks after finishing my dad dropped the tractor scrape blade from 2 feet and they did not chip - I have, in the last few months, dropped multiple heavy tools, parts etc landing on the sharpest edge, the epoxy has not chipped.
