Hi-
I bought some epoxy paint from Home Depot, and coated my garage floor. A year later, it's all peeling away. I can't remember the brand, but its the only one they sell.

If it is the "1-part" Behr floor coating, I have had it on my garage floor for 5 years without a mark on it. This is through Southern Canadian high
90's summers and 0 degree or lower winters with salt water dripping on the floor all winter.It is all in the preparation, did you do it right? And did you use the required primer?
as another posted said, its all in the prep, did you prep the floor before painting it, as per the instructions on the can???
I work at HD and we've never had a "come back" on the Behr Epoxy garage floor paint. No question in my mind: the poster short-cutted the prep somewhere in the process.
I don't know about your situation, but almost all complaints about epoxy garage floor paints come back to improper surface prep. It has to be perfect. OK is not good enough.
I painted my garage floor with a two part epoxy (Sears I believe) in
1977. It still looks fine. I spent a couple of days cleaning and acid washing the surface and then drying it before applying the epoxy.I've seen floors that were not well prepared before painting and they were disasters.

4 years ago when I painted my garage floor, there were at least two types of 2-part epoxy and at least one type of 1-part available at HD. I bought Rustoleum 2-part, acid etched the floor, and it's still perfect to this day. The concrete floor was newly poured one fall, and I coated it the next spring. So it was well-cured and still in pristine condition when I did it. YMMV
