About to install cabinets in my garage and will paint the floors beforehand. My last garage I used an epoxy based floor paint that looked great but after time the hot tires melted the epoxy paint and had 4 exposed concrete areas.

Anyone have recommendations on Mfg/Brand and any pics of their garage floor?

I used the rustoleum 2 part epoxy garage floor paint. I did the prep exactly as the directions say, on a 30 day old new slab. 3$1/2 years later it still looks like I did it last week.

Fairly recent pic.

Thanks for the pic and it does look like new, I did not use Rustoieum last time so maybe that is better than the Lowes brand I used. Here is the best pic I have showing the my floor, it probably didn't help that I performed several engine drops on it with every kind of car liquid spilling onto it.

H&C floor paint from home depot and lowes , great smooth finish easy on bare feet and easy to sweep or blow off , they mix colors you want

It's more about the prep work than it is about the actual catalyzed epoxy product.

Or have a pro do it. Figure about $5/sq.ft.

Professionally prep'ed is paramount, even a DIY. Epoxy, tri-color and clear sealer!

Floor looks amazing! easy to hide dirt and stuff with that tryicolor.

Went my friends house yesterday to look at his race-deck floor which he loves but pretty pricey.

A LOT less Expensive than you think, especially if you're in certain car clubs, Porsche, Viper, etc... you can get a pretty big Discount. If the OP has any questions you can PM me. Here's a Pic of one side of my garage before & after. Very EASY to install & drains very Easily if you want to wash it down.

Thanks for the pics! your garage looks amazing also. Im really starting to lean towards race-deck, my friend I posted of his garage went in on a group buy with his 993 buddies and thinks he can still get me a good buy on it through it.

COSTCO has Moto Floor (like Racedeck) on sale several times a year. I have used it in two of my garages and it works well. Another option to consider.

Thanks for that Ralph, I go to Costco all the time and never knew this. Here is the link for it.
