What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
A thread a while back asking about work benches led to several people posting pics of their garage and it gave me a slight shot of motivation to upgrade mine. My garage has seen my car get completely disassembled down to a rolling chassis, stripped down to bare metal, the 1.8 pulled, a 3.2 pulled, a 3.2 installed and another 3.2 finished off. Not too bad for a little suburban garage in Arizona. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
My hope is to give it a nice finished look but still have it be usable as need. Hopefully not *too* often! The plan: Refinish cabinets All new paint on the walls Fix the ceiling's endless cracks from the previous owners storing boxes and boxes of files in the attic. New bench top New racks to go over the hood of the car Epoxy floor Cool 914 & Porsche stuff added I don't have too many great before pics other than when these jokers were here for my engine install and Jason's(AZ914's) engine hook up and when I was storing a car for some other guy....So the basic starting point: Attached thumbnail(s) |

I will be giving them a call, thanks! Did you do the 4 or 5 layer system?

I will be giving them a call, thanks! Did you do the 4 or 5 layer system? Not the 5 layer. I didn't like the way it looked. They power washed it and then chemically cleaned it. Then a coat of etching primer. Then epoxy. Then the flakes. Then the next day a light sanding and a final clear coat. I wasn't happy with some air bubbles in a few places. Without any question they came back out, sanded it and put a new clear coat on it. Great service for sure. It comes with a 5 year warranty against any peeling or defects. The pics are before re-doing the clear coat. To answer the other question, this is how the floor looks as completed. No waxing or polishing needed with the epoxy.
