Hey David,

Let me be the first to welcome you here. Mind me asking if you have any detailing background? I notice you have a few products in that cabinet of yours (plenty of room for more!)

Great garage repaint, that color is really cool, some checkered flooring would really set it off!
 
Detailing background-no
I have been reading a lot on here and I want to get more into detailing. I just detail my own car and my wife's car so far. I run my own business (martial arts school-6 days a week) but I am thinking of doing a few details on the side-I really enjoy it and I want to get better at it. I have a rotary but have not used it much at all. I have researched a ton about using one.
Probably wont be painting/coating the garage floor anytime soon, but I agree it would look good.
 
Well you certainly came to the right place, Dave. There are a lot of seasoned veterans in this community to help you out with any questions you might have. Thanks for joining, looking forward to having you here.
 
You will definitely now know if you accidentally pull into the wrong garage... Seriously, I think you did a great job giving the garage an entirely fresh new look.....:bigups
 
I teach Taekwondo. I have a full time academy with about 160 students. I aslo have trained a little in Jiu jitsu. We teach classes 6 days a week and I love it!
 
If you want an affordable floor restore, most Home Depots carry Bear concrete stain..covers just like paint but made just for concrete. usually $20-$25 per gallon. 2 gallons should do it. may not stick to those oil spots unless you pressure wash very well. Just a thought for you. Black would hide well even if some spot didnt stick too well.
Decorative concrete pro here.
 
hmmm. how many coats would you recomend?

That gives me a good reason to get a electric pressure washer (been wanting one plus a foam cannon)

Two coats would give optimum coverage.
The first coat will probably take two gal. like i said. A second coat would not absorb as much so one more gal may be enough. Thats a guess from looking at the pic anyway. Erock
 
I like that color. The first pic made me think it would be way too bright but the completed pic looks really good
