Here's some photos of my new car crib! We went with the gray granite epoxy floor. It was sanded, etched, 2 coats of grey, piles of sprinkles, then 3 coats of clear. If you'd like more photos, please PM me and I'll email you them...

Mastiff, looks really nice.

Stacey, I second the Premier Garage satisfaction.
I was too busy, and did not really care to deal with the mess myself. 30 hours later I had an amazing floor.

Their preparation was very thorough and they even ground down the entry slab and bull-nosed the edge. Looks like a granite countertop.

I am very pleased, and would certainly recommend them.

I also had premiergarage do my garage last month. Looks great and seems to be holding up very well too.

Shark and Bob, great input and much appreciated. Mastiff, what did you use? I am really looking to have it done this time as I've heard some really good things about Premier. We're looking for another house with 4-8 garage (my agenda). I will have them buld it out with AC and compressor power and don't want to cheap out on the floor. I did mine this time around (third time) and it's peeling under my wifes LX470, but holding strong under my 745Li and 997. I hand sanded a 4 car garage, filled in cracks, sanded, etched, degreased (new house) and layed prep liquid down as well. It couldn't have been done by anyone any better. Here's what I'm finding: if it's layed down THICK, really thick, it tends to last longer. In addition, several coats of clear coat (add the sand granuals or your on your *** everytime it's wet).

silversteel, I went through years of doing my floor with good prep, high quality products and it always lifted either from rock salt or heat from the tires. The premier install has a 5 year warranty so I'll see if this does the trick.

I hear you, Bob. I love doing jobs like this and am dedicated to doing the best job possible no matter what I do. But when the sht starts lifting you just want to burn down the garage. I am retired from floor covering now. No more for me. I can admit when there's a better program out there. THanks for your comments I'll pay those boys to do it next time.

Here's a before shot of the garage,--only hosed off. Followed by the next day after applying the second coat.

Here's a few garage floor posts I've made about different products I've tried ...

Sorry guys...lost track of this thread.
Premier Garage was great to me and I would highly recommend them. They say that their product is far superior to the Epoxy's. For an added touch, I also had them do horizontal surfaces of my stairs.

Here are some pics. No comments about my walls please. That's my upcoming winter project.

Really nice. What did it cost you, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for the great post.

I paid about $2200 for my 3 car garage and the stairs. It is so convenient. Even the wife likes it.
Everything just comes right off. I changed the oil in my Expedition the other day and got a few drips on the floor and then they were gone with no marks left behind. I just love it.

Elusive, your floor is identical to mine and I love it! Premier and the guys I used (Garage Envy) use the same product and application process, I received bids from both companies before pulling the trigger...

Mastiffdog -
Yeah, you're right. Is yours called smoke...or something like that?
I just love how anything can be sprayed right off. Makes it so much easier to clean. Can't wait to see how easy it is after a winter here in Colorado.
They told me that the only stuff that will penetrate it is battery acid and brake fluid.

Love you cars too!!!!! You've got quite a lineup.
