20 years later, finally redid the garage

Wasn't in our budget to redo the kitchen or the other bathrooms, but the garage finally got redone. They want $850 extra to repaint the inside of the yellowing insulation so it matches the garage, that's too much for us right now just to paint this. I got a quote from my garage company to get a new garage door and belt drive system and updated everything - $3880. My wife didn't want to do this and said, "let's wait till it breaks and then we'll do it but not now". Yeah, makes sense. We might try to paint it ourselves. My S63 is still stuck being parked in a public garage 15 min walk from my house since we only have a 2 car garage but it's all good. My wife parks her car next to mine in our garage here.

Looks great. You need to upgrade the lighting though. Cheap and easy DIY with some light grids on Amazon. On the doors I would just mask them and get some of the white Rustoleum Turbo Can spray paint cans in satin. You could knock that out in a few hours.

2019 AMG S 65 and too many other vehicles to list here in this small box
Garage facelift looks great. Kitchen, Bath, Garage...It's all about priorities right?
Excellent choice in using Polyaspartic coating on the floor as that stuff is very durable to chemicals. I used the same stuff and it has held up to everything I spill on it for 15 years now.

It was originally invented to be used on the inside of large municipal water storage tanks. It helped to keep the inside of the tanks clean and resist corrosion.
The chemical resistance is the big selling point of this product along with it being crystal clear.

Chips look good and can hide imperfections but it also hides every little "Jesus Clip" you drop on the floor if you're doing actual repair work in the garage.
I chose to use a solid base color mainly for that reason but also it looked good with the chosen garage "Decor".

Here's a pic of my floor not long after the clear Polyaspartic cured:
