Is it possible to put down epoxy, put down an image of some sort and then coat over the images and the entire garage floor? I have a 2 car garage. Specifically wanted to find a large Tesla logo for my gal's side and large Jeep logo for my side. An alternative would be to lay down parking mats on top of the garage floor to put the cars on, one with a Tesla logo and the other with a Jeep logo. Anyone ever heard of such an idea? Thanks!

The logos would likely last longer than the cars in the fleet. Sorta like a tattoo -- it's a long term solution to a short term opportunity.
I'd do it with signs on the wall or mats on the floor, personally.

Yep, you can use vinyl logos and then top coat them with clear epoxy or polyurethane

I agree, it would be a really nice look. But, when you go to replace the cars you either stay with the same make of car or redo the floor.
We don't recommend coating over a vinyl decal as the vinyl is so smooth that it doesn't bond well to topcoats, and we have seen many logo failures from delaminating.
The proper logos to use are 'mesh type' logos that are a mesh fabric that the design is printed on and then encapsulated into the floor with clear epoxy and then clear topcoated. These types of logs are bulletproof but run $400 or so just for the logo mesh.
A better alternative is to go do a decal shop and order a 'floor graphic logo' like they use in supermarkets. These logos affix to the top of the floor and should have an integrated clear urethane bonded top layer. They are virtually indestructible, and in many years if the logo gets a little ratty, just peel it up and replace!
If you do go the vinyl route, don't apply it to an area where you drive over it or turn wheels on it.

Surprisingly, I do not do a lot of logos, so my experience there is somewhat limited. The ones I have done in the past have been vinyl, and I have covered them with a nice thick layer of epoxy. As far as I know they have not had any issues, but that is not to say they are issue free.
If there is a better material to use, like listed above, it is probably a good idea to use it.
Hi Everyone,
Here is the link to the company that makes the mesh logos that get encapsulated and cannot poissibly fail...check out the gallery pics a bit down the page.
If you contact them, they will send you a sample of the mesh material.
Our Installation Division will not warranty any other logo other than the type below due to the chance of delamination from the logo surface.
