Sparkie! Let's see some after pictures!
That's the process I've been thinking of doing as well. Mainly due to the price. I love the look of the tiles, but it is more expensive.

I live in Chicago (obviously) and used a very strong epoxy. It's used in construction. Runs about $45- 50 a gallon. It's unbelievable. I will try to track down the # for the company. The guy will ship it to your house. I will say this, far and away the most important thing(s) when using an epoxy on your floor is PREP and thorough mixing. Etch a couple of times. Do it right with this stuff and you won't have to do anything for years but sqeegee it out after hosing it down. I did mine 4 years ago and it's awsome.
3.5 garage = about 3 to 4 galllons depending on app thickness (roller nap used to apply).

What you could also do is a decking. Our old house had a large garage that was black and white checkered Race Decking the previous owner decided to leave, think I have some pics somewhere. New house just has a normal 2 car garage and the floor is concrete so we're thinking of doing our own decking. Kiwi and Race Deck are the only ones off the top of my head, I'm sure their are others.

Looks really good sparkie, I think you've convinced me on which floor to go with. Although I would rather be whipped than do any painting, I hate to paint.

I hate painting too. But it was so easy. Just make sure you do it in the time and temperature as it says per instructions.
My 5 year old done the paint chips.

Sure, if possible, I would like to know the phone number for that. Any pictures on what it looks like?
sparkie, that looks great, I'll make sure to look around Lowes for that.
