We're using PPG's Breakthrough in Satin.... looks amazing.  Check it
out.  The hype is pretty accurate - dries very fast* and can be walked
on/driven on in an hour.

*Our stage floor is brand-new - but crappy. Bad contractors used
inferior "tempered hardboard" (to replace the previous, which actually
looked better after 9 years than this installation looked fresh) - and
then they did a crappy priming job, followed by a coat or two of an
inferior black paint.... then came back 3 months later and did the
Breakthrough paint, as we were pissed at the results.  Anyway... I
didn't paint the stage floor myself - they did it, with a crew of
three..... I have yet to do the whole stage myself, so I'm worried
about Breakthrough drying too quickly for one person to paint the
whole thing....
