What else is there? I wanted to do something with garage as well. Maybe just regular ceramic tile?

My dad did that in his garage years back. Looked super cool and actually worked well... if all you did was park in there. The transition point from driveway to tile would periodically chip, too.

Damn that is a rich looking space. I may just have to drive across the country to take pictures of my car in there.

i epoxy coated my garage floor about 5 years ago now and havent had any issue with durability. Ive done everything from major car work, to welding, to carpentry to using corrosive chemicals in the garage and no issues even with spills, drops, banging and the random shoot a nail through a board onto the ground.

used sherwin williams macropoxy 646

I am using Advanta Flooring Tuff-Seal Interlocking Vinyl tiles for the workbench/toolbox area. I had used the the plastic type in a previous shop and for actually working on cars, I would not recommend them. If all you'll be doing is parking/display, they are fine.

Thanks. I was looking at a similar style light (G&G LED TUBE LIGHTS) but b/c it was designed for carwashes and waterproof they were obnoxiously expensive.

Dude, that project looks grand and full of potential. Be sure to include a Super Mario tunnel for evasive maneuvers from the main quarters.

Any tips how to apply? Is that just one coating or need to do clear coating after epoxy dries?

Ooh, you're really jogging my memory. I think we just took everything out, acid washed it, and rolled it? You just toss the sprinkles on to give it some grit while it is still wet. I honestly didn't think some Home Depot product would last for a garage floor, but have been pleasantly surprised. Has had years of racecar, and various lawn tractors parked in there.

I've seen a few vids. Looks like time consuming job not sure what's easier, do tiles or that. For tile work I could probably hire someone relatively cheap as a side job, its garage so I dont care that much about gaps etc

From what I remember it wasn't too bad, we were still new to the house so didn't have all that much in the garage yet.
