I bought a new to me house last month and have been remodeling. My current garage is a mess too much crap not enough storage so I decided to to get this one correct right from the start. Here is a pic showing it done with the epoxy floors I put down yesterday.

Love the metal walls in there. I don't even know what I'd do with all that space, although I'm sure I'd figure it out. lol

Every garage I've seen with the Rustoleum stuff looks like crap after a few years.

I contemplated doing Racedeck in my garage but ultimately spent the $$ elsewhere. My garage has turned into a placeholder for crap more than anything else. We do get both cars in (and my M/C) though.

Looks awesome! I like the flecks in a color like that too.

I wanted to do mine, but since a little settling caused a crack I'll probably look for some rubber tiles or something. Confused

HOw long does that take to dry so you can move all your crap back into the garage?

Bam, 18-24 hrs to walk on 3 days to fully cure, it is dry in the pic.
