This is the stuff I used on my garage floor.

That is a UK distributor but I know for sure you can get this stuff in the US and probably worldwide.

The neat thing is (and I wish I had thought of this sooner) you could use glitter between base and clear coats. That would add some sparkle! :bigsmile:

Does this stuff take a long time to dry?

I like all of the garages expecially got jobs...mines nothing but an old sheep\cattle barn thats been converted kinda sorta...roof leaks and wind blows through and when it rains the water runs right through the shop...but its better than nothing...if we cleaned it and crammed cars we could fit 6 cars in there..

I think I did it in one weekend. I can't remeber exactly as it was about 2.5 years ago? I do remember you have to wash the floor with some sort of acid to prepare the concrete so that has to dry which in my case was the naxt day. The base coat + paint flakes dried quite quickly and then after the top  clearcoat you are supposed to leave it for 24 hours before parking on it. However at 10pm that night I put my (very wet) Challenger on mine too quickly because a thunder storm started and when I moved the car later it lifted four small patches where the wet tyres had been.

Thanks for the info.  The color you picked looks great.

I was going for the "kids toy box" or "Noddy" look. Yellow walls, blue floor and red workbench. My playroom. :bigsmile:

Well I thought I would post a pic or two of the place my Challenger rests  and will rest for still a while.  Probably got to pull the dash again.  Some of the guages don't work yet.   Thats on another thread..

Its not fair.

I'm too broke and too busy to invest anything in my gasrage other than a space heater and some basic shelves.

I have garage envy.

Great looking shops guys. That is something to shoot for. I am anal, but not that anal. When I get busy, there are piles.
When I am bored, I have clean shelves, clean tables and organized tools/nuts and bolts. Now I have 2 kids, so the likelyhood of that is another 18 years.

Someday.
