I put epoxy coating on my garage floor maybe 6 or 7 years ago? It came from Sherwin Williams, it was roll on, and it seems to be holding up pretty well, even the embedded shark's tooth decorative stuff sprinkled on it. No experience with the product you've presented, but I think some things are generally applicable:

The key to any job is prep. You have to acid etch the concrete, and make sure there's no oil spots, or whatever you put on won't stick.

....and of course we'll need both pictures of the job, AND pictures of injuries, along with supporting medical bills.

Not the rock solid but I used their epoxy shield and am very happy with it. I know when I recoated a couple of years ago I looked at the rock solid but went back with epoxy shield. I don’t recall why, it may have just been sticking with a known product

currently there's a lot of advertisement for something called "Nature Stone".

you pay to have it installed... but the warranty is fairly solid.

I have never seen the need for garage floor coatings, just bare concrete is fine, wash out any grease with gasoline and a brush.....

cheap and easy......

To each his own, but while I like a neat and tidy garage, I've never seen the need to do anything with the concrete floor. It's a garage.

I weld constantly and do stupid stuff that would ruin any coating regardless of brand.
Most brands work decent(I've helped numerous times put them down), prep is key of course and seems most dont tolerate leaks well if left standing.

Rock Solid floor 2 years ago. Pretty happy, floor still holding up nicely, spills clean up easy etc. It is NOT indestructible, it will scratch or chip if you slide really heavy objects across it. Suffered some pickup when I carelessly parked one of the race cars on it after a race weekend with what were apparently still sticky tires. Now I just park vehicles on pig pads just to be safe.

I could see it with a gas water heater/pilot light or much of any appliance with some motor control relay/sparks......not that I would advocate coating/brushing the entire floor to get one grease spot off..... and obviously keep the doors open, circulation....well DUHHHHHHH

but why would it be illegal????
