That forum is an invaluable resource if you are thinking of doing this yourself. Trust me when I say that prep is 99% of the battle. And the Devoe coatings I used and mention in my thread have stood up unbelievably well during and after my build. I had quotes ranging from $3-5k and I did the whole job for under $1000. I have dropped jackstands, starters, axles etc on my floor and it still looks great two years later.
Nice job on the garage!

Sorry for late reply but only saw it today.

Ross was the spot I saw it 1st and his still looks great after years of abuse.

Forgotten product name but Stiffy can help here.

It pretty easy to use but you must be prepared as its messy stuff and you only have limited time depending on ambient temp. I mixed up enough to cutin all edges first with 2 coats. Then this allowed you to do the floor only without worrying about slopping on walls/arc's etc.

Clean floor as per Stiffy and I also chalked all the expansion cuts so no crap is held in cracks etc.

Thin as per Stiffy says as it best to over thin the 1st as it really soaks in and the caot acts as a great key for the 2nd coat. Make sure u get a couple of extra plastic buckets to mix etc. in as you will need to as its easier to mix separate than mixing the tins. Also get a mixing stick to goon the end of a pistol drill to mix the halves as they are very viscous and there is no other way to get it mixed evenly. Use a large plastic tray and a wooly roller for best finish.

Mines down now for 2yrs and its been great and I have not been to careful. Cleans up oil, petrol grease etc. easy with a mop and good floor cleaner. Mines about 8.5m x 12m and it cost around $800-900. and looks like new.

I would not go to light with the color as I did first then had to recoat with darker grey as the 1st showed to much dirt etc you carry in on wheels.

ps/ dont drink beer when coating your floor.
