Just finished building a new house and despite my builders warnings of epoxy floors peeling, I went ahead and did two garage floors which came out real pretty. Three weeks later and I have peeling. 
I did a garage floor in Arkansas with the el-cheapo stuff from Lowes and it was perfect, could pull steel jacks over the floor, no scratches.
So for the new house I went the expensive way, the most reputable supplier, $1,100 in materials and three days of my own work, following all the procedures, acid etched the new floors, checked for moisture, two part, flakes and top coat. And it peels ???.
Spoke with the vendor this morning, he suggests touching up, but I think I am going to have to grind both floors and start over.
The way my builder did these floors, were very smooth, almost a polished look using only concrete and floating. I think the floor was just not porous enough.
Learn from my mistakes, if you are going to do this, do 1 square foot first and check it out carefully a month later, before you proceed. I had success in Arkansas, but not in North Carolina. Both were new floors, this one I think was just finished too well.
