Same here, you can see the red on the drawer sides when you open the drawers. I figure that only lasts for about 6 seconds when I am grabbing my tool...and then quickly shut, not a huge deal to me. I entertained using some self-etching primer but from what I could tell that is most beneficial...

I took the drawers out only to paint the inside edge of the toolbox that can be seen when the drawers are opened/closed. I did not paint all the way inside. Same goes for the sides/back of the boxes, I didn't paint them since they are completely covered by my workbench structure.

The finish is very smooth. As far as i can tell it is as smooth as the original finish. I used the rustoleum 2x cover paint. I think the color was "deep blue" or something like that. I have found the coverage and finish on this brand to be excellent.

1) scuff entire area to be painted with scotch brite pads (or similar, steel wool etc). Make sure you get a couple packs as I found that the paint starts to build up in them as you are etching the surface. You know you are doing it properly when you see the glossy sheen has been removed 2)...

I didn't sand in between coats, and my finish turned out perfect (at least to my standards). I know there are probably some that will swear that you need to, but I have had good success in the past painting this way. Would it be better to sand in between each coat? Sure, there are probably some...

I did this exact thing last week with my HF cabinets. My garage is a work in progress, but it will be complete soon enough. I scuffed all surfaces that were going to be painted with scotch-brite pads, then wiped down. Sprayed with rustoleum spray paint. Just take your time and do multiple light...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll sell one for a grand :) My garage is slowly coming together, I'll post some updates once I get my main workbench built. Here is the empty shell of my garage right after I installed some RaceDeck. John

That's awesome :) you guys crack me up.

Yea I realized I took a couple of breaks once I watched the video :). Had to answer an email here and there. Yes it is a double wide garage with one space extra deep (for a 3rd vehicle). The wide angle on the camera really skews the view and makes it look much smaller than it is. Funny enough I...

Sure Jorgen, would you like the actual file or do you just want to use the YouTube link? John

Thanks everybody! I laid down the fabric just because quite a few people recommended it. I didn't really "try" the floor without it...I just always figured I would put it down with the install. I would rather do that then install the entire floor only to find out that the "clacking" annoys me...

Hi All, well I moved into my new house last week and I was finally able to install my new RaceDeck garage floor. This was an early birthday present to myself, so I was pretty excited to get it installed first thing. I literally signed the closing documents, painted the garage, and put the floor...

Yea that video is where I got the idea of the codder-less pins to hold it in place. It was really this video and an article about a mobile miter saw station (with fold up wings) that gave me the idea to integrate both ideas into one component.

Yes, theoretically this could be two-sided. However, for my application I wanted it to be able to roll under my workbench so it is out of the way. Unfortunately, I do not have a set of "plans" for this. I kind of built it from scratch in my head. You can see the link to my build thread above and...

The drawer slides are just the generic full extention ball bearing slides you can get at Home Depot. I think they are 18" long if I remember correctly. John
