I am in the process of building a new garage and I was wondering if anyone has used their white floor coating and if you could post a picture?

I'm working on my white floor, but you can get an idea of how it looks from the pics I posted in this thread.

I am not applying any flake. I'm hoping to get the topcoat with traction grit applied tonight.

Yes...ArmorPoxy ArmorUltra with the ArmorPoxy II as a primer.
I like your idea of the BMW M colors for 2 reasons:
1. I think its an awesome way to incorporate the colors into your design.
2. I like to see people doing things because that's what they like instead of worrying about resale value. I'm not going to not sleep with my wife so that her next husband finds her more attractive.
I chose white because I'm going to have an auto lift. I figured it was a good way to reflect a lot of light back under the vehicle.
I chose to forgo flake because I don't want to lose every nut, washer, etc that I drop.
It is not a forgiving color to apply. Mine has roller marks, thin spots, drips, etc. Overall, it looks great and I can't wait to get the topcoat down so I can actually start using my garage!

The whole garage is bmw themed and Im not selling the house any time soon. I think it would look amazing.
Basically, white floor with M colors, grey half way up the wall, m colors again in stripes and white to the ceiling.
Hi, our extra bright white is available, it's a standard bright white color. Unfortunately we don't have any great recent photos of it.
A note though is that if you go with white you will need to do it a bit differently since white epoxies will yellow so you need to use white epoxy self priming version first, then apply white topcoat onto that and fleck onto the white topcoat and then clear topcoat with nonskid to protect. Even this system of exposed to a lot of sunlight can yellow a bit over time depending on conditions.
Alternately an even better but more expensive choice would be to use our white Spartacote polyaspartic, fleck onto it, then clear Spartacote to protect. You could need two coats of white depending on porosity and color of your concrete. This product does not yellow.
We sell very few white garage floors as they can get marked or stained over time especially if a working garage. If just parking/show garage then it should be ok in white.
Please contact our office directly please for pricing and info. Thank you very much.
