What tile did you use? I'm trying to decide on what to use.

Honestly man, it was just the cheap vinyl 12x12 squares from homedepot. only thing that ever goes in there is the bikes, so im not worried about heavy traffic (although there is a harley in there...so its bound to drop oil. lolol)

They look good. Wonder if they would hold up to car traffic? I was at Home Depot the other night looking at their new product called Allure. Mine will have two cars sitting on it all the time. I have heard of some problems with the floor paint. A customer of mine has the plastic tiles, but after walking around on them I'm not sure I like them.

These were glued, layed, then rolled by a steel 100lb roller to ensure flatness, with no edges stickin up...so far so good.

i painted (technicly it may not be called paint) my garage in 2005 and its been great so far. I am moving into a new house and will be getting more of the same paint. I will post up the name of it when I get it. its from shermin williams FYI.

one thing I dont like about tile is fluids can get under or between them and then when you apply pressure to the tile it would ooze up in between the tiles. theoretically you could seal it up but I imagine thats not realistic or effective in real life

it does look good though

Looks like he's got the TV in there already. There are two chairs pointed in the direction of something. I'd assume it's a TV.
