Garage floor coatings

Rustoleum Epoxy works well, Butt no coating I know of will stick to stains. You may have to use a pressure washer to clean the floor 1st.

Light colors make it easy to find bolts that fall to the floor.

Pro,

I was a bit iffy on doing this with my ramps!!! How stable is this? Did you use planks to get the front up the ramps...can't believe you got the nose up there!!

I'm always paranoid with a car lifted like that. I put in 2 extra stands, and tuck the tires under for good measure.

The floor is too slick to drive on to the ramps, just pushes them. These are Ebsco jackstands, the best I have seen available @ Pelican. Jack from rear to install jackstands, then jack front up to install Rhino truck ramps. Sat like this for 6 months during engine rebuild.

I try to cover my garage floor with Porsches, since that is the purpose of the garage

Got it ...a bit of brain fade on my part. Yeah I have the same exact stands and ramps as you. I have spit them out on concrete let alone a shinny floor like that!!! I recall that Rhino only allows/intends you to use them to lift by rolling up the incline which seems to me that this would be much more stress than gently lowering down on top of them like you have done....must be a liability statement

I think one if my ramps can take 2000 lbs

Did the angle of the car downward to the front help with engine / trans out and back in?

I like a little carpet in my garage. Nice and low but still just enough there to get traction and not hurt your knees.


Also, put some plastic down for spots!

I planned on pressure washing first. How does the Rustoleum hold up to dropped tools?

No problem with anything like that. I had to get the flat bottom type jackstands because the cheap pointed leg type crack the paint.
