The walls will be painted. I think eggshell was the recommendation earlier back in the thread but I need to double check. Thanks so much for your input! I'll be sure to post pictures when it's completed!

Thanks, Platonic. So based on your recommendation, would I need to add a 3rd light to every row using these light options or am I way off base?

Hey guys, Spent several hours going through the thread and although much closer than when I began, am still a little confused about lighting options. I'm building a 46'x23'x12' garage and am using the Visual 3-d tool to model the layout but my head is spinning on lighting options. The space...

I'm in the same boat. I've been scanning Craigslist and the prices that people want are crazy. Keep hoping I'll stumble onto a deal! Nice find for the OP!

Thanks guys. Definitely plan on power washing the floor and letting it dry out before I put the primer down. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a shelf life on the prep part.

Last Fall I was prepping my floor for epoxy but then the weather turned and I never got a chance to apply it. I etched the concrete back in October and other than the floor being a little dirty it still feels like it did after I etched it. Do I need to do it again or just clean it and put the...

Good point - I'm in Richmond, VA so pretty average in terms of cost of living. I plan on getting another quote but wanted to try and get a sense as to where this one was from guys who have gone down this road. Appreciate the feedback!

I'm in the process of finishing off a new garage (30'x18'). When the house was built they only put in two 110 outlets and two 60 watt light bulbs in the ceiling. I want to add a 4-post lift and an air compressor (probably 60 gal, 2 stage). I got the following quote to install some lights and...

Good suggestions. Thanks guys!

I'm in the process of figuring out my plan of attack for my new 3 car garage. I'm going to epoxy the floor, get all new shelving, new lighting and a 4 post lift. The thing I'm not sure what to do with is this concrete wall that is about two feet high that goes all around the garage. The...
