Nice job on the cleanup! You can get a mean gloss on that floor by adding a urethane top coat, but it will probably cost you another $200. Love the large banners, where did you get those?

Thumbs up

hey guys thanks for the compliments , the floor epoxy was only about 100, picked it up at home depot it was a 2 car garage kit with everything you needed, and the tiles were another 40, as far as adding a clear coat i want too, i just was trying to do as much for as little as possible, so it will have to wait lol..

ill post more pix soon when i add the finishing touches

A great transformation! Well done.

It gets me inspire to start cleaning out the oversize storage locker that I call a garage.

NICE ride, BTW.

Your garage looks 1,000,000 times better. Great work!!

I've been researching garage floor coverings for quite some time now and I've yet to find something that will survive our upper midwest winters. I see you're in Chicago...just a little bit north of you.

"hot-tire pick up" is a minimal concern, but all the salt that they use up here on the roads would end up in my garage and slowly eat away at the epoxy from what I understand. I looked into snap-in tiles, and I've heard negatives along the lines of water getting underneath the tile and mold developing....thoughts? I have a 4 car garage and I'd really prefer not to have to do this twice.

It won't look as nice, but I'm actually leaning towards concrete stain
