So I finally started doing some of those home improvement projects I told myself that I'd do when I got my house. I decided to start with the garage and then do the landscaping in the backyard. In hindsight, that was probably silly as now I will be digging 24" trenches for the irrigations system during the start of the Arizona summer, but oh well.
I started with the garage last week. I stained the concrete. Next week I will sanding and putting primer on the walls. If there is time, I will paint the walls a mist gray. Then the next week is Disney World, followed by putting up shelves in the garage.
Here are some pictures of the garage (note, at the time of posting not all pictures have been uploaded so please be patient):

Remember, this is a concrete stain, not tile or paint. The clear coat really makes it nice and shiney
I'll find out soon how it handles oil and jackstands, but it is made for vehicle traffic and can withstand pool chemicles, so I should be fine!!!

Looks great! I was thinking about doing the same with mine. Is the floor slippery? I was thinking about putting some sand in the paint to add a little grip in case the floor gets wet.

I added a polymer to the stain to do just that. H&C makes one too

Above are all the products I used in no particular order.
*edit*
To answer the above question, which I really didn't do the first time, no it wasn't slippery. I added the shark-grip in the event that I did spill oil, tranny fluid, etc, so it wouldn't get slippery. The stain is as slippery as normal, smooth concrete when wet without the shark-grip.
