Garage re-design complete
Garage re-design complete Well, I took some advice from this board, and used a little common sense, and am very happy with the results. It's not perfect, but it's a good start. Now to get a shed in the back yard for the lawn gear....

That is the off-the-shelf Rustoleum. I didn't use the flakes because I didn't like the way they looked (like a confetti monster barfed on the floor). Will it hold up over time? Maybe, maybe not. However, it looks great, was easy to apply, and if I have to touch it up before we move out (several years from now, most likely), so be it.
I had to do it one half at a time, since I didn't have a place to store all my stuff while I was painting. There is a slight color difference (evident in one of the pictures), but it's not something I plan to lose sleep over.

Nice garage - I wish mine were that clean and organized. Hell, I have ramps laying around that I could never even use on my car!

Actually, a hose reel and an electrical cord reel are on my birthday wish list. If I don't get the hose reel for my birthday (this Tuesday), I may be contacting you.

My advice to anyone considering this approach is do the whole garage at once, if possible. You can see the line in some of the pictures between the two halves, and the second can of paint ended up being just a hair darker. I think this is mostly because I didn't mix all the activator into all the paint. Instead, I eyeballed half and half, so I could have some left over for touch-ups, if necessary. Once the paint and activator are mixed, you can't seal it up, open it a few days later and keep painting, as it becomes a rock.
