To make a porous material non-porous and seal it from stains, bacteria, color fading, etc...

If your old epoxy is good then you can apply over it, but there are many facts to consider before applying over existing epoxy coating.
Go with the Epoxy coating. Epoxy is well-known for being a top-notch protector any time it is used as a coating.
Epoxy-polyester powder coating is a hybrid of epoxy and polyester powder coating, and galvanised is coating thickness for steel bars and components is between 3 and 4 mils.
Yes, it is possible to mix paint with epoxy to create a colored epoxy coating or finish.
Epoxy and polyurethane can be mixed. An epoxy and polyurethane coating system is often used in the marine industry to protect against the weather.
Installing an epoxy floor coating in a basement provides benefits such as durability, resistance to stains and chemicals, easy maintenance, and improved aesthetics.
Marblelite coating is typically more flexible and can be easier to repair compared to epoxy coating, which is more rigid and durable. However, epoxy coating provides better protection against chemicals and stains. Ultimately, the choice between the two coatings depends on factors such as desired durability, maintenance ease, and budget.
You must remove the old epoxy coating before pouring the new floor, for otherwise there will be no bonding. If the epoxy coating is thin (e.g, paint) then it may be possible to remove it by hand sanding. If it is a thick coating, then sandblasting is probably the best method. In either case, appropriate dustmasks and other safety precautions are essential. Good luck
No, Seal-Krete Epoxy-Seal is an acrylic-epoxy blend. By mixing 2 unlike resins (patio paint and Epoxy-Seal) the hard Epoxy-Seal acrylic-epoxy resins would become weak resulting in a coating failure.

Epoxy floor coating is thicker than other coatings and more durable. It's chemical resistant, resistant to scratches, and resists fading. The following is a good site to read about epoxy coating: http://www.epoxy-coat.com/why_use_epoxycoat.php
Epoxy coating is most commonly used to protect steel pipes in pipeline production, concrete reinforcement bars and a wide variety of piping connections and valves to protect them from corrosion.
