    Thanks man,,, I was going to do a traditional tan or grey but ended up going black.. So happy about how it looked.. Was thinking about putting another layer of clear in about 3 months.. Whats you thoughts on that.. I just feel it needs another layer..

    Yeah the build cost is pretty crazy, would have been done a long time ago if I have not done some of the things I have done..

    So here is a little update on my garage floor project.



    Start this off with a nice Dogfish Head "Midas Touch". Now if you can find it this stuff is damn good. I would have to say its my Favorite DogFish Head beer to date.



    So this is how the garage started off, Ugly floors... I painted the walls already the color a pictured in my head with the black floors..



    Started off by renting this machine from Sun Belt. The reason I had to grind the floors was due to the old epoxy that was on the floor.



    Getting there...



    This is after I did some cleaning with the acid floor cleaner they provided.. Let that set over night to dry



    So the company I went with for the Epoxy floor coating was http://www.originalcolorchips.com/ and bought their 2 car garage kit and other goodies



    Clear primer ready to rock and lay down.



    So the vision I had in my head was a black floor with gold flakes to it would look like black granite.. So picked a couple of metallic flakes and we are ready to go..



    Sorry did not get any pics of laying down the black base coat or flaking it. Was to busy do it...
    But time to lay the clear



    Before clear



    With the clear.. You can tell a big difference.. I think I might lay another layer in a couple of month though..



    BAM!! all done,, Pics really do not do this floor justice..



    Another angel



    I really like this picture, you can really see the gold in the black and the shine of the clear.. I am happy



    Here is a nice close up of the flakes, so you get a idea of the gold



    Another good pic



    So here is a pic with my tool box and bench back in the garage.. My goal is to have nothing on the floor.. I plan on buy a few good things to complete this garage, like two tire racks to hold my spare DPE Wheels, a jack holder that mounts on the wall, and some shelves.. Also so stuff feel up the bare walls..

    Well hope you guys like...

    Now as for the car, It is still at the Fab shop getting its Oval Exhaust and Intake made, hopefully it will be done next week some time..

    I should be laying down the epoxy on Wednesday.. Should look nice.. black with some gold metallic flakes and silver flakes to give a black granite look.

    Sorry Sorry for the lack of update, Car is at the Fab shop now getting its exhaust and intake made. Once I go to pick her up I will do a up date on the new good.





    A look at my TS rear diffuser,, love this thing



    Couple of the cars at the shop.. To much sexiness happening in one place.



    Also since the car is gone, I though it was a perfect time to epoxy my floor..



    I will give update on this as well..
