Thanks Mike thats what I'll prob end up doing Thanks for the replies

OK, I've got a 2 car garage about 22x22 with 14' ceilings. I want to install more lighting and figure two rows of 4' strips over each bay should be fine for now. My problem is the only electrical source is the two ceiling fixtures that have one incandescent bulb in each, no recepticles anywhere...

Figured I'd give this stuff a shot, ordered it yesterday... I'll post the results.. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yeah but the mess, plus I don't have a compressor yet...

Yeah Small world... LOL Sandblasting would be a last resort since I don't know of one around me, and the thone I do know of is soo busy it would be awile. I already had the rear hot tanked but that didn't do much.... I figured a good rust remover with a wire wheel hooked to my grinder, then...

I've done a search on the internet, but came up with the phone book all claiming their product is the "BEST". Anyone have practical experience with a rust removal product. I need to spuce up a Ford 9" and its pretty ugly so I need something HEAVY DUTY!!!

Thanks, its mine as well......

took a pic today, so I thought I would post it, I'll submit more once the garage is done. http://tinypic.com/id4q37.jpg

I don't it would be that difficult to make. Its been a LONG time since I've thought about electronics, but if the lights were wired in parallel, then the amps and voltage would be distributed evenly. If $5 Christmas lights can work this way why not these lights..... I'm sure there would be a...

Sounds to me like a no.... Well who wants to go into biz with me and start making them... This idea seems to make total sense yet it doesn't appear available....

Anyone know if they make strip lights that can be connected in series? In other words like the way Christmas lights work where you plug 1 into the other and so on.... Also can someone with the Home Depot diamond plate shop lights tell me if they are plug in or have to be hard wired? Thanks

Thanks guys, I will call a contractor when I'm ready to do this but just wanted to get an idea of the install cost. I'll make a decision within a couple weeks. I might just go with the port propane for this year since the car will be having some major work done most of the winter and will be at...

On the fence about a heater for my garage this winter. I would like to go with a Modine but don't have a lot to spend on this so I was also thinking about just going with a portable propane unit for now. Besides the price of the unit, what do you think the cost will be to have a pro run a NG...

ok can you recommend someone else then, I'm in Old Bridge....

Very nice... Your garage is almost the same size as mine. Who did your door tracks, need to do that as well....

:lol: And she would use that blackmail material too! Well i checked w HD and I can rent a 10ft scaffold w casters for $34 a day, so definatly going that route. And unless I can rent an airless spray gun for under $50 a day I'll prob get up there with a stick and roller. The main reason to go...

wow good replies! The garage measures 22x23 with bare drywall. I'll probably have to rent a mobile scaffold, although the person lift thing was only $140 per day, but I don't know if my local tool rental place has them anymore nor do I know how I would get it to my house w/o a trailer..... I...

What is the best and easiest way to paint a garage with high ceilings? 1) the old roller on a stick 2) airless paint sprayer 3) vaccum fed paint roller 4) prof paint sprayer 5) rent a personal lift and get to work 6) ???? the first one is most economical but probably a real pain in the a** ...

Thanks guys... Yeah no bs, its 14' Thats whay I need to get rid of the stupid tracks that hang down like 6' or something. Plus how would I install an auto opener... that would also have to hang down 6'
