I want to find or paint a red stripe at the top of the gray portion.
Now that's a nice looking car.

This is a timely thread - we are adding a second bay to our garage and rehabbing the existing one-car space.

The floor of the existing garage is badly stained. (Based on the junk mail we receive addressed to the previous occupant he owned a Jaguar). I'd appreciate feedback on the durability and ease of application for the epoxy floor coating. One of my neighbors put down plastic floor tile. The tiles look good, but the epoxy seems to be a more economical option

I have had the epoxy floor in my garage for 3 years and I love it.
Oil spills wipe up with only a shop towel, very easy to hose down and squeege out and seems to be very durable.
IMO best thing for the garage since the invention of the drop light.

Looks good.

Since we are posting pics of our garages I worked on mine this summer. I painted the walls and did an epoxy floor. Next up is metal cabinets to clean up the left side.

My neighbor is having his garage floor done in a grey flake epoxy as I write this response. I'm very curious to see how it comes out, as I have no problem taking on a project like this, if it is worth the effort.

He also had Lowes come in and put custom grey cabinetry throughout the space; should be in a Griot's catalog.

your garage will be great when you are done.

I did this project about a year ago. I painted the walls white, epoxied the floor myself with the DIY kit from Lowes, and installed shelves and overhead storage.

Those hyloft (there are other brands too) overhead storage s ystems are great if you have the space above your garage door. even when the garage is rolled up, we have about two-three feet of wasted space above it...those hanging storage systems let you put all the seasonal decorations, and other items you rarely use up there. easier and more accessible than an attic, and up out of the way. kind of a PITA to install...but they are great.

I opted to put the epoxy down and not use the flake stuff. i felt it looked dirty..and I just wanted plain gray..so mine is just painted epoxy gray, no flakes. hose it out, sweep it out - it stays clean looking.

we are in the process of getting garage cabinets to replace the cheapy costco metal racks -t ha will really finish it off.

good luck!!
