    Most of my painted concrete floors do *not* have any friction media, and yes indeed they`re a bit treacherous when wet
    Agreed, we did the traction additive on part of my friends and it was hard to see where it was unless you got close.

    The full flake method is still glossy but not anywhere as close. It also has zero depth. I just had my new garage done that way. Lots of traction though!

From my research polyaspartic is a newer tech and higher gloss with UV resistance. seems to cost more generally but I was curious if we had any experts in here who can guide me in a direction?
    Water based certainly raises eyebrows. High solids epoxy is what is time tested. What are the warranties for each? What prep work are they doing? How long has each company been in business?
