Is it me, or does the new flooring make your garage that much brighter? Nice garage and far from being small in my book!

The first picture was in the AM and the second around noon when the sun was brighter. But it still reflects the light so I assume it's a bit brighter. Thanks for the compliment, a 1,200 square foot garage was all my budget would allow.

damn dude. I love your setup. perfect size and not full of holiday decorations.
Great looking garage. Anyone out there start adding entertainment systems to them. I just got my Plasma and stereo mounted in there so I can enjoy my evenings with the cars. But, mines a two car standard size, so i gotta open the door just to take a breath.

I'm a driver, not a wrencher. You wouldn't want me actually working on a car. The few tools I have are kept in the trailer in case something happens and I can talk the guy paddocked next to me into helping.

Nice to see a nice garage that is not cluttered up with junk. Good job Derek.

That looked cool.

Got any internet adress I could take a look at to get more info about this product.
I am looking to upgrade my garage as well, maybe I could find a Euro dealer of the product.

How easy is it to clean, it looks like it has pattern all over. Is it cemnted on the floor, or glued in someway.

It snaps together and is not attached to the floor. You can take it up if you want at any time. Haven't had to clean anything up yet.

How much $$ to do your garage. Mine is a large two-car bay about 24x24. Concrete paint sucks and cracks up all the time.

I'm not sure. The guy is out of Atlanta. I think it was around $5k with the special coating which makes it "inpenetrable" and shiny. My garage is 1,200 sq ft so that would be about $4 per tile.

I use this stuff and I love it. I think it would come in at less than you spent Derek FSU, but I don't know because the garages I have done were bigger than 1200 sq ft, and I don't remember what I paid for the materials but I'm pretty damn sure that it would cost alot less -- maybe less than half what you spent.... You still end up with a floor as hard as concrete, so any cushioning you got with your tiles might be a plus-factor to consider....

Thanks Derek! The wife wanted to know. When are you going to Savannah or Cecil, Georgia again? I ran a 3.5, 0 to 60mph two nights ago on my G-tech Pro, 99mph in the 1/8. My car must be possessed. It's like Herbie the Love Bug. Since we raced Modified v Stock, it thinks it too is capable of warp speeds.

True, it is much cheaper. I chose the tiles for a few reasons:

1) Does not crack when floor cracks. In Florida, just about all concrete cracks.
2) 10 year warranty
3) No pretreatment
4) I can take it with me
5) If something gets damaged, I can remove the tile and replace it.

I think the epoxy looks good, I just liked this more.

Sweeeeet. I'm running at Roebling Rd on Jan 13, 14, and 15 with the Florida Crown PCA. Come join us! There are about 10 guys going for a buddy of mine's bachelor party. I'm serious, come join us.

AMG_55, it's a 3 year old Cannondale Jekyll.

I agree that your choice of the tiles was a good choice - looks and functionality. I may go with something like you did when i have to do my next garage or two. It looks great! I know that you're already enjoying the difference! LOL
