Applying floor paint

    Ok. I was planning on using Watco products to do my garage concrete floor. But after reading some reviews about waiting weeks for delivery plus the expense, I'm looking for an alternative. Has anyone any experience with different brands that are as good?

    I'm looking at Castlepaints in Tullamore or the Juno range sold by paint lab or Ultrimax flormax paint. I am open to suggestions.

    I'm looking at the possibility of using an epoxy primer followed by polyurethane paint to get best of both worlds.

    Also regarding floor prep and application. I grinded the floor so I don't think there is any need to acid etch. Am I right? The process I am planning is:

    Sweep, vacuum, clean with concrete cleaner, wash off using as little water as possible, let dry, seal (1 coat), prime (1 coat), paint (2 coats). Is that right or do I apply sealer last?

    Just to reiterate, I'm looking for suggestions of brands for these.

    Thanks
