The cost of an installed clear-coat (polyurea) for a 26 x 22 garage was about $6k last summer. I think it would have been about $4k for regular epoxy, which has the disadvantage of yellowing more if exposed to the sun. Divide by 2.5 to scale down the the square footage they actually had, and you're talking $1.3-2k. Roughly triple the cost of the coins.

Well... the video shows 'em using PL Premium to glue the pennies down. It so happens that I've used a lot of PL Premium recently, have a rough idea of what it costs, and that should be showing up in their cost per square foot. It isn't. They also don't show the price of whatever the clear coat is they put over, that could also jack up things a lot...
But I do think it's cool!
