Update on my garage floor thread
I was looking through this months Driver mag. and I ran arcoss an ad for RaceDeck flooring system. Has anyone used this product, or know anything about it? It looks interesting.
Thanks again........Lew http://www.racedeck.com/ |
Lew,
Contact Robert Evans. I think he is either a dealer or a distributor for the product. He is a member of Club Cobra. TURK |
Does anyone know how much that stuff costs? Can't find a price anywhere.

Lew, give the folks at Race Deck or Tuff Deck a call. I think the price worked out to about $2/sq ft for material if I recall correctly. I myself went with the same stuff Bill Wells did--two part Valspar epoxy. Car dealers and aircraft hangers are often done with this method. My concern with the tiles--especially Race Deck was when I asked them if water can get underneath them via the joints, would it ever fully evaporate, and I got a "no" answer. that then got me concerned about mold/mildew, funky smells, etc. Just something to investigate further.

I was quoted around $3.50 a sq. ft. Would cost about $1,700 do to my 480 sq. ft. 2-car garage....
|
2 part epoxy was $3.00/sq foot in atlanta installed, prepwork and all as a reference.

Home Depot has the epoxy garage floor coating system. They sell the acid, and all the prep stuff to do it. They will even do it in a custom color.
FORD BLUE for me! soon.. blake |
Hi Lew,
I put the Epoxy based system on my garage floor in 1994.....All it has needed since then, to look like an aircraft hanger deck, is swabbing down....this is done with one of those yellow buckets and big swab by the chief swabbie.....fomer USMC Captain Tony !!!! Eight years later it still looks great and has been impervious to all but the most harsh treatment...the metal wheels of the engine hoist left scratches with the 427 hung from it. The custom color sounds like the best route....they only had the colors from the chart to choose from when I bought the product. Lew if you want to look at what it looks like after some years of use , I live in Alamo...you drive right by my place on your way to breakfast from Vallejo. Tony R. |
Tony....Thanks for the reply.
I won't be going to Athens this Saturday. I'm headed for Thunderhill. I doing the NorCal Race Club open track, My first time. I was going to wait until after Income Tax season. But I just couldn't wait that long. I've got the racing bug. Anyway! I'll try to be there next week. Lew |
