Default Epoxy floor coming!

So my wife surprised me for my birthday. Coming over tonight to start the prep work and let me pick the colors. Then a couple days to dry and I'm getting myself a new epoxy floor in my garage. Is it weird that I want it to compliment guards red?

They start tomorow on the prep. Will take pics along the process starting with me cleaning the place out. He was based in Toronto but recently set up shop in the falls. Concrete is only about 5 years old and in great shape so prep should be pretty easy. Never had a car in there until I bought the Porsche

In silicon valley where I live contractors ask for $6/sq ft for this job, which is finished hardwood pricing

Hope that it's better where you are

That's beautiful.
Unfortunately I missed some of the prep. They showed up and started sweeping and filling in spots. I took a nap and they were painting the base layer. It was a long nap
