Nice looking and clean garage. Epoxy garage floor was one of my favorite home improvements. You DIY it or had a pro do it?

Looks nice. That exposed concrete is just begging for some checkered flag tiles. Or maybe German flag colored tiles?
Edit: Wow, now I sound like every forum member and modder ever. "Just lower it a bit more....that would look hot with 19's...you need one of those sick exhaust whistles!..."

Thanks blitz. I wanted a clean and simple look, I feel the checkered flag theme is a bit played out, since I am a mechanic by trade, having a nice clean floor makes it easy to find small items you may drop like washers, screws, etc...

I tried the stuff from Home Depot with the flakes (DIY). Waited the three weeks before pulling a car on it.
Toyos pulled it right up.
To be fair the tires were pretty warm but still, it was new concrete and I washed it with cleaner before painting. Tires are going to be hot sometimes.
I'm trying Eastwoods product next time.

I'm probably being a bit paranoid, but I do move it around, put it up on front and rear stands and take it back down, etc., and I'm afraid of a mishap. I'm sure you could add friction material to the epoxy, sand or whatnot, but then that kind of defeats the purpose of having a smooth surface. Any thoughts on the matter? What's your floor like when it's wet?

I can see it extremely annoying if you work out of your garage though. Regardless, this was one of my favorite upgrades to my home as well (although I didn't go with epoxy).
