Hey everyone, I’m planning my dream home detailing studio buildout and could really use some real-world advice on soundproofing, lighting, and layout challenges before I start tearing into walls. Background I ran a high-end detailing and paint protection business for years but recently...

Garage Specs: Single car - 35 L x 12.5 W x 8.2 H Use: Professional Detailing Needs/Goals: No shadows anywhere, ability to see better into interior and on side of cars. I am a professional detailer and work out of this garage from my home. I do paint correction and ceramic coatings, and...

Hi all its been a while since I have been lurking, but I am back at improving the garage in the home my wife and I purchased a few years ago. Its a single pull in that was added in the late 80's. The remodel was shoddy at best and now I am trying to figure the best way to smooth out a jagged...

Hi All- I have a single car garage, roughly 500Sq ft (still need to measure it) that I need some help and ideas with. My brother is a pretty good woodworker and my wife and I have all of the tools to build cabinets, workbenches, etc. so that's not the issue. The issue is I have some kind of...

Hi Guys! I am trying to get some LED lighting ideas for my single car garage deep enough to pull 2 cars in). I detail high end cars on the side so not using the halogen or LED stand lighting is the overall goal. I need lights bright enough to see the imperfections on the paintwork of the car...

I am posting to let everyone know my success in having an Iron Drive Coatings floor done in my garage today. In short, ID is a company who does industrial grade Epoxy coatings. The owner, Shannon (who can be found on this board under I believe IronDriveCoatings or something similar, is based...

Hey everyone. As of right now, I just built my first workbench, or anything with wood at that matter. I had Home Depot make all the cuts for me aside from notching the bottom shelf, I used a Stanley hand saw I picked up today for that. At any rate, now that I have seen what I can actually...

Long story short, I have to re-do my Epoxy-Coat floor. I thought I mixed it correctly, but it has not hardened all the way after a week of curing in 70-85 degree weather. At any Rate, Christine from Epoxy-Coat has been extremely kind to me throughout the duration of the situation. Now, I...

THe last 10x10 square I did last night I was running low on product. I had to mix in simply by feel A and B, or what I had left of it. I thought it was going to work out, but I obviously had a little too much of A mixed because most of the Epoxy Coat is dry and the small areas I did with that...

We have a water softener in our homeand it's got a trash can looking deal that sits right beside it that supposedly holds salt or some deal like that. We haven't actually had the soft water company come out to "hook it up", even though everything is mated up, we don't actually have working soft...

Hey guys, my garage just got skip troweled. I taped everything off last night with FrogTape and began laying Killz primer. I got the ceiling and one of the walls primered. I am using a Behr premium 9" 5/8" roller. How often should I clean or change the roller? And how thick or thin to apply...

Hey all I am moving into my place soon. 2 car (20 x 20). Picked up the Taupe Epoxy-coat at Lowes. For the walls, I have the following envisioned in my mind. Charcoal gray bottom (about 42" up), almost a Tangerine/Burnt Orange 9" separating strip, Taupe color for upper walla and ceilings...

Paid a little over $170 with tax. What a killer deal eh!? Since I want a lot of gray on the walls, I decided I really liked the Taupe color. I got the Full Kit, as I have a 400 sq ft garage. Other than the kit being smokin deal, I have a few questions. Regarding clear coat: I know most of...

Hey all- Moving into our new place Feb 8th. My garage is going to be unfinished and I need to get the walls textured. I am going to use skip trowel. The walls appear to be "taped", not exactly sure what that means exactly. Anyhow, my builder said I just need to get some fast dry mud for tape...

Hey guys, I have read the reviews about the Behr 2-part epoxy one could find at HD or Lowes. I am getting mixed signals; some people like it and don't have issues, but a lot of people tend not to like it whatsoever. I cannot afford to spend a lot of money and want to get protection on the...
