Looks good. What brand coating?
BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT DRAGGING STUFF ACROSS THE FLOOR FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS
I spent about $1k on U-Coat-It for my garage, started putting stuff in it, and scratched it all to hell. Basically their story was the concrete wasn't fully cured so it wasn't the coating scraping away it was the concrete itself. It seems plausible since it doesn't do it as much lately, but if I had to do it over again, I'd leave bare concrete and keep the money because my floor doesn't look good at all now.

It's Valspar from Lowe's. Tintable to 42 different colors. $34 a gallon.
The floor nearly a year old and I acid washed it last weekend to bust through the smoot finish (as per the directions). (That was a BITCH)
It's supposed to be dry to the touch in 8 hours. Ok for walking in 24. Ok for vehicles in 3 days and fully cured in 7 days. You have to wait 24 hours for the second coat. So, I'll do that tomorrow. Move everything mid-week and do the other half next weekend.
