Plus I figured Race Deck can come out as easily as it went in in the event I ever wanted to move with it, change colors, or what have you.

For people contemplating epoxy, you should do a moisture test on your concrete slab first to see if moisture comes up from it or not.

Suggestion
Im planning on using the garage floorpaint from home depot, it has epoxy in it and lasts forever, as well as being very inexpensive.

there is some very interesting articles that do warn against the use of it for moisture reasons, saying it will potentially trap moisture in the concrete and could do some major damage.I would never have guessed the epoxy based paint to be a problem, as i have used it in industrial applications.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So, phase 1 complete.... Obtain Porsche 911 Anniversary CS2... Find dealer posters from 2004...have posters coated with temperature resistant sealant and framed...hang on garage wall...
Phase 2...Find flooring/tiles...possibly checker board silver and black...possibly ceramic...paint wall checker board with Porsche logo on it...
Anyone have the checkerboard flooring I see in my Car & Driver every month? Or ceramic? Or any other way I should consider geeking up my garage?
This is mainly an aesthetics post, but I do have the full compliment of sockets, adapters, extensions, wrenches, deep impact sockets, screw drivers, torx bits, hex bits, breaker bars, torque wrenches, pry bars, fluid pumps, bleeders, dual action polishers, every detaling fluid known to man, jacks, jack stands, air compressors and other boring stuff.
What about the flooring?!?
I have black and silver race deck flooring. I have the free flow in a checkerboard pattern with matching cabinetry and love it. I get lots of compliments and it has been super easy to maintain. I just hose it off and after 3 years it still looks great.

I find vintage licence plates on the wall the best decoration. In the house or garage.
This is somewhat applicable to our 40th AE cars.

Thanks for the links. Race Deck says it supports rolling weight. Does the Race Deck flooring stand up to the weight of the car on the jack and jack stands?
It will be fine with jack stands. I do use a small piece of plywood under each stand just so I wont mar the tiles but the car weight is no problem. If you join the forums at 6speedonline.com and tell Race Deck that, you will get better pricing...almost at cost. My garage is 20x20 and I think I spent about 1200.00.
Nice start on the garage!
i thought about the tile, but depending on the finish you get , its very slippery when wet, ie.. oil, snow ,rain etc..
Im planning on using the garage floorpaint from home depot, it has epoxy in it and lasts forever, as well as being very inexpensive.
Using the floor paint you could also get creative and sport your own checker design or logo, whichever you wish, even your own choice of colours.
ill have some pics when mine is complete.
I went with Race Deck. (Grey and Red pattern)
It's the envy of the entire neighborhood.
Clean up is instantaneous - makes my garage look like a showroom
I wish this were true. For people contemplating epoxy, you should do a moisture test on your concrete slab first to see if moisture comes up from it or not. Secondly, I would advise against it for the people that work on their cars alot. Tried Rustoleum and Ucoat It in 3 different garages and were both times disappointed. Even after excellent prep, and one being on new concrete, stuff still didn't last too long. You might be ok if you don't work on your car that much. I know the ones they sell at Home Depot and such are consumer grade epoxy, even though some say it's "Professional", it's more marketing than anything else.
I recenlty bough the Rock Solid Floor coating as it is not an epoxy and seems to have several advantages over epoxy so we shall see.

I would recommend going to

for several garage flooring suggestions.
hmm, thanks for the heads up, after seeing your response i looked up some stuff on epoxy and concrete on google. there is some very interesting articles that do warn against the use of it for moisture reasons, saying it will potentially trap moisture in the concrete and could do some major damage.I would never have guessed the epoxy based paint to be a problem, as i have used it in industrial applications.
Guess i will try another alternative as i do like to work on my car and plan on completing some more DIY's this year.
Its about 4 to 5 dollars a sqft and you can also die the concrete before you seal it. Google some images, it looks sick when its died brown, comes out like marble.
Modern epoxies are very good if you buy a higher end kit.
The reason I didn't go that route was my garage floor is sealed and it would have required the surface to be ground down or sand blasted. A bloody mess for sure. Plus, the drying time would leave all my stuff outside.
The Race Deck went down in a few hours and a few beers.
+1... exactly the same for me for the same reasons. I didnt want to go through the mess of sand blasting. Plus I figured Race Deck can come out as easily as it went in in the event I ever wanted to move with it, change colors, or what have you.
Great points.
I think the silver and black checkerboard will look great with my car color. Thanks for the feedback guys. And Gator please feel free to post more often. I can't stop looking at your girlfriend.
