Posted April 7, 200717 yr comment_205081 All,I have been working on my garage, shouldn't it be as nice as the car?Anyway, the floor is drying and I love it. Why does it snow in Virginia in April when I have my floor installed? Will post pictures soon.Here is the link of who I worked with: http://www.epoxy-coat.com/Lots of good info on this site but a very confusing layout:http://www.epoxyproducts.com/garage4u.htmlHere is a site that most people use: http://www.ucoatit.com/That is water based.Fred Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23874-garage-floors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 7, 200717 yr comment_205083 It snows on Easter weekend. Always did in Wisconsin. It didn't snow here, but it's too cold for the beach. Windy. Good day to work on the roof.CW- Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23874-garage-floors/#findComment-205083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 9, 200717 yr Author comment_205261 Here are some pictures, adding new electrical outlets, additional lights. and painting over 35 years old dirt! The 3rd picture shows the flakes and texture of the floor. I am proud of the hood rack in the last pic.

April 9, 200717 yr comment_205264 Looking good Fred! That's a good idea to keep to the hoods safely out of the way too. Some good lighting, fresh paint and a few Z's will go nicely with the new epoxy. Heck, if there was a fridge and a LazyBoy, I'd move in!

April 9, 200717 yr comment_205295 Another way to add lights that work well is to use el-chepo desk laps. My mother uses them to help light up the displays at her glass shows, so I borrowed them last winter (6 of them, 8 would have been best) and this allowed me to light up the whole car and really get see what I was doing. They attached to the top cross-members in the garage. Fred, the garage is looking great!

April 9, 200717 yr comment_205299 With a floor like that who'd want to cover it with Zs?Everybody here that's who!The only thing that would make it look better would be a low vin 240Z smack dab in the middle!

April 9, 200717 yr comment_205352 Hi Fred:The floor looks great - now that you have the experience, the next time you are down, we can do mine.We used that product on the showroom floors at the Datsun Dealership - and on the warehouse floors at Base Supply on the base. Very durable stuff.... a little slippery when wet.... but very easy to clean up...Carl B.
