Derek Your garage looks great. I had the same pattern in my last garage, but it was tile. I am in the process of redoing my garage right now. I will use the same product you did. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks
Jai

Thanks VRus. Jai, good choice!

Amen, strap on the boots and come on. I'm dying to blow past an E55 on the straight with the Noble!

I have race deck too before I had painted my garage and the paint lifted right up after applying it.... the problem with race deck is that water and moisture can get underneath the actual plastic tile.... Also the tile can stick to a cars tires if not driven very often.

do you find the white race deck tile difficult to keep clean? this was a major reason for me going for the yellow instead of the white.....I saw it on the DVD and thought the white tile might look classier but I can barely keep my white garage walls clean so I thought it would look super dirty getting the white tile; especially with all the tire marks. Have you had any problems with your tires (when they are hot) sticking to the tile and the tile lifting up? these are the problems I have seen with my race deck. All in all it is much better than the paint I had on the cement... way more durable. thanks

To those of you interested in RaceDeck, my only suggestion is to call them and bargain a little. I saved quite a bit by getting friendly with the Sales Person over the phone.
