What You Are Actually Choosing
Start with how the garage gets used, because that sorts the look. One that parks two cars and holds the overflow from the house wants a surface that stays presentable without being fussed over, and flake does that better than anything else. One that doubles as a gym or a place to work on something wants that same forgiveness with a harder wearing build over it. Only the garage that is genuinely part of the house, opened up and looked at, is a case where appearance should lead, and that is where metallic earns its money.
Then the build, and this is the part that gets misunderstood. Our flake floors go down as a high build epoxy base coat, the flake broadcast into it, and a clear polyaspartic top coat over everything. The base gives the floor its thickness, the flake gives it the look, and the top coat takes the wear. Metallic epoxy is finished the same way over a different base. So these are not rival systems you pick between. On cost, the look moves the number more than the chemistry does: flake and plain colors sit at the lower end and metallic above them, with the gap narrowing on a small floor and widening on a big one.
