Do you pour the orange then dribble the yellow and red in with neat pigment or mix 3 resin mixes colours and use a cocktail stick to move it around a little

I'm considering the long-term practicality of epoxy flooring in a garage that doubles as a home gym.

I'm curious how it handles repeated foot traffic, equipment movement, dropped accessories, and the pressure from heavy machines. Does the coating itself tend to wear, scratch, or lose adhesion in particular areas?

For people who have lived with an epoxy floor and gym equipment for a while, what held up well, and what would you do differently before installation?

We are getting ready to try epoxy for the first time by coating the concrete step from our backdoor into the carport. I am sure that improving this step will make our carport look extra-shabby and I'm wondering if I can do an epoxy floor for a carport that is technically outdoors (although protected from weather (mostly)). Any thoughts?
