My biggest concern with an epoxy floor is that I do a lot of welding/grinding/torch cutting/plasma cutting and the resultant sparks/embers make burn marks in the epoxy. This is the main reason I haven't done it yet. If I had a "show" garage it would have been done already.

It didn't in my case with Insul-X on the floor. I've made a ton of sparks and haven't messed it up.
To be honest the worst spots were where hot truck tires were turned in place  . The floor is not perfect but it's much better than bare concrete or sealer.
For a show garage I'd do vinyl tile again

I have had zero hot tire issues.
i've only done a little bit of welding but it did not hurt anything. if you had a lot to do you could temporarily protect the floor I suppose. Or live with a few chips as a badge of honor lol. and how much of that is the OP going to do anyway?
my floor cut down on dust considerably, makes spill clean up easy, and made the whole garage brighter. i did not make my floor pretty. i did not fill any chips or cracks in advance. no dumb colored speckles. I'm still really happy I did it.
if i had to fix a chip i think I'd just touch it up with gray por15. that doesn't come up easy either lol

Well the sparks are the least of my worries. How about steel severed with a torch or bolts burned off with a torch? Does it hold up to that? If so, this might be something to do sooner rather than later.

I gotta drop by there this afternoon, I'll look at the floor and give it a closer look. Although for heavy duty stuff I put a welding blanket down just in case. I think the floor might be OK but I'd rather not beat the **** out of it for no reason. MIG sparks are a non issue.

no, too much lost room and open flames don't always go well in a working garage.

Consider a ductless heat pump. If you can flare copper and get ahold of a vacuum pump you can install it yourself. I'm considering a new garage myself. Be curious what happens to your taxes after and if they reassess your whole house too. My tax guy said he would walk through the whole house and revalue it.

Awesome garage and great project with your dad. I can remember building my dad's garage with him and it was great fun. We still hang out there all the time and that was 20 years ago. Now, can I come by and change my oil?

never again..... they were extremely heavy for pavers and with over 1000sq/ft it catches up really quickly. but the results were great imo.
thanks for the complements everyone!
