So i found what we used and it was actually from Benjamin Moore (Super Spec)  It is 2 parts:

- polyamide epoxy
- polyamide epoxy gloss catalyst

Also check Duron, I forgot their name, but their stuff is pro grade.

I would skip right by Home Depot, there stuff is in there because of price...that is all.  Behr is decent paint, but it's not nearly as good as Benji Moore and Sherwin.

I would spend more to get a better paint...especially since you will be dropping ink and having to clean it up.

PPG product is called Aquapon. It will probably run about $100 per 2 gallon kit and that should cover approximately 600 sq ft.

Only about 15 years in the industry. I will say this about coating floors, its the most difficult substrate to successfully put a coating on. There are just so many variables and moisture from beneath the slab being your worst enemy. If you want a serious coating go with a 100% solids self leveling epoxy. A Mack truck could hit that floor and wouldn't touch it.

We used to print shirts for a company called Concrete Coatings, they are out of business, the owner died in a plane crash.  Sad story.

Their company colors were GNS Rebel Red and Black.  I still have the last gallon of Rebel I bought for them, and that was about 14 years ago.
