I've been looking for somewhere to buy epoxy floor paint for the garage. After much searching, I found this site. www.constructionsupermarket.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=saleItemsThe technical info is good (tells you how to prepare etc). It usually costs loads (£300 for a garage) but they have some on special at the moment (2 shades of light green). With postage, it worked out at about £100 for enough to do the garage floor at 1.5mm think which will cover a few bumps/holes. Have a look for Epoxy BS3000 SG Reseda Green RAL6011 25kg or Epoxy BS3000 SG Yellow Green RAL6018 25kg. I reckon 25Kg is enough. It's supposed to be levelled with a spiked roller which they sell for £65 but I think I can source one for less from Ebay. Before anyone asks, I'm not on a commission!!

I used floor paint from screw fix. £13 sounds better than £100

I done the same as mattsmev used garage floor paint from B&Q, I did look at the epoxy floor paint and I was just about to go ahead with it, when we had the floor done at work, after a short space of time the floor at work got scratched and dented with very little use. Just my thoughts.

It's Ok, I also know it's expensive and I've seen cases where it doesn't last. However, I am very sad and this is my treat to myself when I move into my new house!!!
