The pros use acid and an industrial floor waxer/polisher with an abrasive brillo type pad to etch the concrete prior to epoxy. That was the main reason I paid someone to do it. I didn't want to mess with the acid wash, but it is doable and you could most likely rent the machine to etch it.

has anyone used that epoxy floor paint they have that you sprinkle specks into it ??
wondering how it holds up, if it wears off (the specks  and/or the paint)
i was going to have it done by a place (it looks almost like a carpet) but they want more to do it than i paid for the concrete!!! so i thought i would check on this.
thanks
Harlan
