3 coats over 3 days. The primer coat takes a little longer to set and isn't as viscous as the normal e-poxy coats, so you get a little more time. The main 2 coats starts getting very tacky at 45 mis and is almost impossible to use at 60 mins. So you need to be quick. Buy an extra roller on a long stick and have 2 of you doing it ( if it's a double garage.
The prep work is important. If you've got a rippled effect in the concrete it's worth hiring a diamond dinner to smooth it first.albeit that job is tedious and produces a lot of dust. Make sure the garage floor is clean as a whistle before you start painting it, as dust and grit will detract from the finish. Cover your paint trays in plastic so you can reuse them and don't use high quality brushes to cut in the corners as you have to bin them after every coat. The paint gives out heat ad it cures and can get quite warm so be careful
