How far you go depends on how much comfort you'll need while in there.

If you need it heated and cooled, that will be a huge project to insulate it and get the right system - or modification to your system - to do so.

If the weather in your area does not require it, then you can treat it as any other room as for the floor. You might even consider carpeting: maybe indoor-outdoor carpet.

...just some thoughts...

I have never used the garage floor stuff, but used a similar product on my kitchen floor. It was easy to apply, and it has been 5-10 years, and it is looking very good.

I once did a quick paint job thinking I would be selling soon. Much to my surprise, the cheap junk I bought at Big Lots was easier to use and made a nicer job than the expensive stuff from Sears. When buying light colored paint, look for the per cent TiO2 or titanium dioxide. The more, the more likely of one cat hiding. Never buy ceiling white. It is meant to be more profitable by cutting corners in a non demanding use. The better stuff is usually the same price.

Locate the water and gas shutoffs, and label the circuit breakers
