If you look at his build on garagejournal, he doesn't. He is just an enthusiast (with a GREAT garage).

Here ya go.
I did this last summer.
Stereo with in ceiling speakers, power, exhaust fans & pneumatics, Racedeck floor, bar fridge, neon signs, gas furnace with Nest thermostat, high lift garage door with Liftmaster 8500 side shaft mount opener.
Lighting is various florescents using daylight(5000k) bulbs.
Low profile led light above the lift and led under cabinet lighting.

Is the rust bullet holding up and how much did it cost? I've used VCT tile in old 4 car garage but need to figure out what to do since I moved to a house with a bare floor 3-car space. I was planning on VCT again as I'd like to DIY

Excuse the brief response - traveling today.
Yes it is holding up perfectly. If you look up my thread on Garage Journal you'll see some recent pics I posted of the floor a few months back. I also posted the number of gallons and the square footage there. I can absolutely recommend it. Just prep well and follow instructions and you can't go wrong. Extremely tough product and ZERO issues of hot tire pickup.
I think I was probably the first (or one of) to use Rust Bullet on a residential floor several years back, but you'll see that recently it has become really popular.

For a small residential garage consider using porcelain tile on the floor. Installed properly, it is tougher than concrete. Really cleans up the space and is easy to maintain. Go over to GarageJournal.com (http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/f...splay.php?f=20) and go to their flooring tab and look at all of the different solutions. I have a garage remodel that will happen next year and will do porcelain tile. None of the coatings I have seen or read about last. They all seem to lift, discolor, etc. The plastic tiles just don't impress me at all. As for lighting, LED lights all the way. Use 4' fixtures in conjunction with cans to hit the tough to light areas. You will never regret going overboard on light as your eyes age. I would multiple switch them so you can control the level of lighting you want to turn on. A garage sink is always nice. In wall air lines with multiple connections around the garage for easy of use. Good stereo system/speakers for music to work by. A small refrigerator is a nice touch. I have had in my other garages the jack-shaft garage openers that mount to the wall next to the door and eliminate that opener and track over the cars. I will use them on this remodel too. I also do the doors with high-lift tracks to raise the door as close to the ceiling as possible, it opens up the space visually. Of course the garage should be fully insulated with insulated doors to keep it as comfortable as possible. I fully sheetrock, tape, texture and paint too. In my upcoming remodel, finally, I will excavate a pit, pour a "vault" to accommodate a scissor lift to make playing with cars easier on my back. When the lift is down the floor will be completely flush. That is about all I got for now. Good luck and enjoy.
