Re: where to buy garage floor paint
 
The advice you have here is sufficient. If you wanted to get a cheap water based coating and then do an expensive solvent based clear, I'm not sure you'd have an issue, other than the price of the clear. Either way, you'll probably end up doing it with a water based, which is ok I guess as long as you clean it super good and hope for long term results.

Because if the water based paint is used on top of something used to stop water from penetrating concrete, you'll have a layer of paint, not connected to your floor.
