Long time lurker on this site; finally have a presentable garage that I can share online.
Big thanks to Armorpoxy for giving me that tremendous discount for Garage Journal forum members. I saved on shipping as I just happen to drive down from NJ on Memorial Day Weekend.
The house was built in 2004 and I spent about 3 years wrenching and staining the concrete with fluids from various auto hobbies.
I've always envied friends who did their own DIY epoxy kits from homedepot or lowes; but I knew my floor was in worse condition than theirs.
Both friends that did do DIY; eventually had some of the epoxy come off over the years, and both did a mild grey color epoxy.
I decided to have my general contractor do all the work while I went on vacation; good thing I did, as temperatures and humidity during the grinding process was too much for me to bear.
I had installed primer since the floor was machined and opted to get the upgraded commercial grade top coat as I often drop tools while working on cars.
I spent about 10 years in the Navy and always wanted something similar in color to the PRC marine deck coating they had in my USS LastShip's messdecks.
I didn't see much of this color in this forum so I decided to post.
Here is the album- let me know what you think of the color!
