Yes, it is. Mine is textured which helps a lot. By the say, even epoxy, unless it has sand added, is slippery when wet.
Anyone epoxy/recoat your garage floor?

Mine, one with new cabinets and bench. Note the beer on the chair.
Looks great, Brad. I noticed that you extended the coating beyond where the garage door intersects the coating. I decided against doing that because my driveway is going to be replaced next year.
Thanks Bob. That's actually part of the whole house slab. As you've seen in my redid my garage thread, I've since added a paver driveway.
I know you did a paver driveway. A nice one, too, Brad. Where does the garage door come down on the coating. If you get a chance, could you take a photo? I'm curious how it looks intersecting the pavers.
your floor, polyaspartic?
Yeah
The poly is great, did mine about the same time Bob did his, and it’s holding up great

Now that looks really good, Brad. I like how the stone blends with the garage floor.
Yours looks about identical to mine. Looks like the same color, too. Aren't these finishes great?!?
What kind of texture did you get?
It isn't a sand texture, as is often used with epoxy finishes. You basically go with smooth (obviously most slippery when wet) or a textured finish that uses multi-color vinyl paint flakes on top of the base coat. I haven't had any issues of it being slippery when wet (from the tires tracking rain water or snow melting off the tires.
Wow nice garages
I didn't do any flakes on my last garage, because I thought it would camouflage the 10mm socket when I drop it. Have you guys had any issues with that?

sometimes it's difficult to see shit when you drop it, gotta do the old kneel down/lay down and look across the floor to see it.
my only issue with the coating is it can be slippery. When trying to pull up on boards or plastic ramps they want to kick out. If you've managed to get sweaty and trying to get some real leverage on something and are on your knees or propping up on your arm you can slide around some. It's not so slick that I have issue walking around in flops when they're wet though.
Similar to what @DSG2003Mach1 said, sometimes if I drop something small on the floor it can be tricky to quickly find it. So maybe once or twice I've had to kneel down to get closer to the floor. But honestly it's never been any more of any issue than with a regular floor.
Slipperiness wise, @wizbangdoodle didn't do the flakes, so wetness can be a minor issue. Like I said earlier, I've had no slipperiness issues with my coating due to the paint flakes that were added. They're added so that you are least likely to slip.
Mine isn't slippery when wet.
I remember my installer asking me if I wanted to add the paint flakes and honestly I leaned towards a smooth finish without flakes until my sales rep explained why I probably would want them. I'm glad I listened to him.
