This is really a neat site. I will be having a 30'X64' Garage built in the near future and I am planning on putting this in my garage. The company is called "RACEDECK". Check it out.

I am planning on using the black and white checker.

chevy_fatman · 03-03-2006, 09:31 AM

there was another member (not longer here) that had the checkered pattern in his garage, it looked sharp! the model A is gonna look right at home man!

86swb · 03-03-2006, 10:16 AM

Paul, I do believe you are right. I just love the checker pattern.

shifty · 03-03-2006, 03:43 PM

i'd trade it for heated floors in a heartbeat

Re-post, from about 1.5 - 2 years ago

I am going to eventually use this very
same thing, however $1500+ for a 20 x 20 garage is out of my current budget

Sillyoldman · 03-03-2006, 04:18 PM

I have a black and white checkered floor. Unfortunatley its in my rec room and not in the garage.

CochinoFilipino · 03-03-2006, 04:22 PM

I wish I had a garage instead of a carport.

**special-K** · 03-04-2006, 08:52 AM

It can`t be done checkered,but I`d rather use the epoxy floor coating.Have you ever seen that?Man,it is nice and definately holds up.It`s been used for decades in industrial applications.

Just make sure you use the right kind, some of these have been known to
transfer toxic fumes into your house during the application process, OSIBT

**Palf70Step** · 03-04-2006, 10:20 AM

Mine is grey with black spots....unfortunately it isn't a tile pattern.

That stuff wan't in my original budget when I built the shop. I guess I was afraid I'd ruin it anyways...I am by far not the neatest backyard mechanic. Now I will probably stick with the pattern (

) I currently have because I am to darn lazy to move everything to put it down.

You are right. It sure is not cheap. I have also thought about U-Coat-It. This is also good stuff.

modifiedGMC · 03-04-2006, 11:28 AM

Those are some NICE garages. I don't think I'd want to work on anythin gin there, it might get it dirty. That's the first time I've seen a garage with a couch in it that didn't have a transmision laying on it.

bouncytruck · 03-04-2006, 12:33 PM

There are knock-offs of the race-deck product that might be cheaper. It is way, way too expensive for me. I can't see using it in a working garage, but it does look sharp with high $ cars parked on it.

We are thinking of adding on to our big ol house

If we do we are going
to turn our garage into a Den / In-Law suite, replacing the 2 car garage is
going to be a 3 car garage, I thought of making one bay seperate from the
others, if I do I will probably splurge for that one bay, for GQ of course

68C15 · 03-05-2006, 09:13 AM

I was at a local home show yesterday and asked about the stuff. forget about working in there on top of it. I would rather go with sealed and painted concrete. sure, it will need maintenance but holds up better to hot torching slag and floor jacks quite well at work. I've heard the epoxy coating doesnt like slag and we have an area coated that is peeling from floor jack use. tough call on what to use.

vtblazer · 03-05-2006, 09:45 AM

Maybe I'll buy 4 tiles, put one under each tire so my blazer can feel "special"

70c10 · 03-05-2006, 10:47 AM

I went with the Rustoleum epoxy-shield kit 2 years ago when my garage was built. One kit did 250sq.ft for $60 and mine took 2 kits. Very nice product and now Home Depot carries the full line with even more heavier duty versions. Pep Boys also sells it and I have seen it on sale there. Highly recommend it.

. Here's my garage

**Palf70Step** · 03-05-2006, 10:49 AM

70C10...that looks good. I'd be afraid to work on it. I am elklutzo.

I hear ya Bill. I have some overspray areas on it from painting now. I try to lay a cheap tarp down every now and then if I'm doing any painting or brake work.

cdowns · 03-05-2006, 11:48 AM

my garrage floors are sort of like the jackson pollack type of abstract art theme ,splatters of paint,grease oil and anythig else i can manage to spill or slosh into the mix a true one of kind creation

Leinie · 03-05-2006, 03:59 PM

I think I'll have the stuff put in my kitchen!! It would cost too much to do the garage.

Yep sounds like mine. Only a year old and well on the way to being an artistic spillway

Ah we shop at the same place,that's exactly what I have...

Some of those garages look like more of a showroom than a place to change a frame in.
