New garage floor

gunner · 08-10-2011, 12:23 PM

My epoxy paint job on the garage floor just didn't last. It started fading, peeling and brake fluid spilled when I changed pads just didn't do it any good.

I decided to go with an overlay. I went to a website and designed my own floor using Swisstrax tiles in a BMW roundel/open-wheel Formula 1 car look.

Before and after shots. Thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

Great product and easy to put down!

Love it.. looking for something similar myself, provided it's reasonable, but I was thinking more along the lines of the M stripes.

Hula's? We have parties and after some cold refreshments the girls like to hula. No complaints from me. I sort of like watching butts wiggle back and forth.

I don't know what you consider reasonable. This wasn't cheap. But considering the time and effort going through another paint job and then have it look like crap in a couple years, this is a fast, fun and very different alternative.

This cost $1050.00 delivered.

IC3BLAK · 08-10-2011, 01:21 PM
