Kaan -- why not rent an airless paint sprayer for the day if you have to do more painting? Think I'll be doing that for the ceiling of my garage since painting ceilings is a pain, that or hiring some peeps from the 7-11 
As for flooring -- have you looked into VCT tile? Here is something from garagejournal (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99502">http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99502</a><!-- m -->). It has Wolverine clear epoxy over the tile for the added shine.
I'm assuming the garage is around 400sqft? I think you could probably do VCT for about $300ish or cheaper if you know anyone that can hook you up on tile.
I'm still undecided on what to do about my garage once the ol Hype-R is outta the garage, but if you are going with epoxy I'd go with something other than big-box brand ones, or at least get Rustoleum pro. You want a 100% solids epoxy -- there are some out there now that have a primer coat, then epoxy, and then clear (do this if the garage will face the sun, my epoxy yellowed :/) Also for epoxy I'd rent a floor grinder and prep the floor that way to ensure the best possible surface.
IMO - I'd do the VCT w/clear since you won't have to do as much prep to your existing floor, just degreaser and scrub and then lay down the glue and tile.
ps. sink area would be a great spot for the a compressor
