To both Matt & Joey,
How do you guys like the colors that you coated the garage floor in? I had mine done, and it looks very similar to Joey's picture (maybe even a few shades lighter). I think the color I did was a "Whisper Grey". I absolutely love it, but my floor is very close to a white and it leaves tires marks in it like crazy. Every time I roll a car in or out my OCD goes off like Spidey Sense. I have carpet over my entire garage floor now because of this.
The one thing that I will caution you on is after a long driver when the tires are hot I park the car outside for a little bit before putting it in the garage. I've noticed that the tires have a tendency to bake into the floor, and those spots are a pain in the ass to mop off.
Both of your garages look great. I need to have someone build me a work bench / storage area now as well.

I like the color, I think it's perfect, it's the Rustoleum "Industrial epoxy" that I bought online, it's their only grey color. I didn't use the the chips that it came with, I didnt want the blue, so I bought Quickcrete Black/Grey/White chips. Only thing that bothers me is like an umpolished black car you can see the very fine scratches in the clear coat, but hey. it's a garage
. Here is a better picture of the color

the step you added to make the floor less slippery is key. I didn't do that when I epoxied my floor and now it is super slippery when wet. I think If I could do it over again I would have just done floor tiles.
