I'd be looking at this thread for ideas, you may find that you need to abrade the current floor to allow the epoxy to key in to it properly.

How smooth would the floor have to be ? Mine was lightly pock marked because it rained the day after it went down.

Mine was powerfloated so not 100% smooth but better than a trowel finish and looks grand. Give your man a shout in WG paints he will advise if it's ok or not.

In my old house the garage was connected to the house internally with a door.
I got some industrial floor paint and lashed it on.
The whole house stank for about 2 week!
Nothing I did could air it out.
