bought from a company that deals with seamless floors

Then it sounds like the thicker model, how much did you get for that money?

yeah, it was thick, 7-8 cans
I guess I was a bit lucky too. they ordered too much and had a cramped car

So 700kr for 30kg?
That is a pleasant price =)

Start by sanding the floor to remove the worst peaks, this way less paint will be used and sanding provides a clean surface that the paint adheres well to.

I checked out this seller before I bought from the epoxy store:

This is equivalent to "thin" paint, all defects are visible.

They also have "thick" paint:

Compare the consumption, the first one should cover 50sqm with 10l, while the latter covers only 12sqm with 30kg. It becomes ~0.2mm on the thin one, and 2.5mm on the thick one.

Ok, the "thick" one, can I mix and pour it out then? My workshop is around 25 sqm in size, so maybe three of those would be enough for a decent layer with the "self-leveling" effect.

How did it go and what was the result? Did it become epoxy paint with a "floor leveling effect"?
Now, 2.5 years later, you have been able to evaluate the result quite thoroughly.
I am going to paint in my garage and also want to achieve a completely smooth floor...

No, it never happened, felt like I didn't have enough knowledge/info to tackle it, unfortunately.
