My wife did this floor using industrial grade linolium. The cabinets were put in my a local professional. What did I do? I paid for it!
The tiles have held up well for over a year now. They are a bit slippery when wet but it doesn't rain much around here so that's not a major concern.

JLJ,

I'm glad you're getting the GT3. Let me know when you get it. I hear that you are tough to keep up with on the track. See ya soon.

That floor is a nice alternative to the various epoxy paints. Want to do something as I'm tired of the concrete and spots! Have people here had good luck with the DIY epoxy floor paints???

yeah they are cheap you are right but im not sure its needed. i wont do maintenance or service on cars only bikes. lifts allow cars to be on top of each other for more space though.

I used the Groits garage paint and I have been very pleased with the results.

do you plan on doing your own wrenching? It all depends on what uses./ if its just storage and tinkering, you can make it pretty, like 4Kurves, if you plan on doing some serious wrenching, Theres lots of stuff you'd want. Some of which would be a hydrolic lift, and engine hoist, air tool system (really nice to have) If I think of other stuff (i probably will) I'll update on here.

not much wrenching except on motorcycles. if i have a carlift it will be for storing the car over my wifes car in the winter, that way we can have all three cars inside. thanks for the input

JLJ,

Nice choice of colour, just curious which dealer did you order your GT3 from? Mine's is expecting to arrive in late June or July
