I have seen a couple nice garage projects and would like to spruce mine up a little. What kind of paint do I need to paint the garage floor that will last up to the car be driven on it?? Thanks!

I used a Rust-O-leum product. Its an industrial floor 2 part epoxy. It cost $90 for one kit.One kit will do a 2 car garage.It comes with a color chip additive to give the floor a little color.

WOW!!! That looks great. Any chance can you post a closer pick of the floor? How difficult is it to apply/paint this?

I will get a better picture posted.Very easy to paint. The hard work is floor preperation.The floor has to be nice and clean. I rolled the paint on the floor and my wife sprinkled the colored chips on top. The colored chips give the floor a nice no-slip grip when walking on it wet.

Cool photo, I was admiring the paint job on your floor then realized where the photo was pointing to, Corvette emblem on the floor!

Lethal that is a great looking hood you have, who's hood is that? You have more pics that shows the whole car?

$90 doesn't seem to bad as long as it last, do they have different colored chips you can sprinkle on the floor? thanks buddy!

That floor looks beautiful, actually I have 2 questions for you. First of all where did you get that hood from. 2nd what do you think a professional would charge to do the garage floor like that? Thank you. - Tammy
