Garage Ideas?
Garage Ideas? I am finally buying my first house (Duplex) with a two car garage. I am pretty excited now that I can have my own car in my own garage. I live in an apartment now so I leave the TA at my Dads. Anyway, I was looking for some cool ideas for a garage look. The walls have drywall up so I wanted to paint in there and make it look nice. Maybe do something cool with the flooring too. At my dad's house we painted a set of checkers flags behind our cars which was pretty cool. He had a LS1 vette that was pretty sweet. My car is NBM and I was thinking about painting a wall in a close color or something like that. Any ideas?
I was thinking a flag on the wall maybe. Navy Blue and Silver would be pretty hot I'm thinking since I have a lot of silver accents on my car. Thanks for the ideas guys keep the stuff coming.
I'd use the Ucoat it floor coating, stay away from dark colors on the floor (unless you never wrench on your car) as the darker colors make it harder to find dropped nuts and bolts. Plus lighter colors help keep the lighting better, so you can actually see better.
Here's a pic of my new garage. Those are the Gladiator cabinets. I got them from ABT, they had the lowest price out of sears or any other online retailer. The prices have gone up some since I got mine but the quality of these cabinets is excellent. I'd call them the "Snap-On" of cabinets. They are pricey but I think worth it. I wanted to epoxy the floor but the previous owner applied some cheap epoxy and it was peeling. In order to re epoxy it I would have had to strip all the old stuff off. So, I laid self-adhesive vinyl tile from Home Depot. Believe it or not, the 23 cent a piece tile has worked beyond outstanding and looks excellent.
I've also got 1350 watts of flourescent light output, but that's another story, RPM WS6 and myself are involved in a light output war!
There's nothing like having every corner of the garage lit up though!
