Posted another thread about me working on it. Well now its done. Here she be. I have to paint some corvette flags on the wall next to my daughter's vette, but thats about all thats left. Thank goodness too. Was stressing me out leaving the vette outside everynight.

That looks fantastic! I hope that you paid your work crew well. What brand is that and what did it cost you per tile?

Good Job!

Looks great!!

May I ask what the cure time was or how long you allowed the tile to settle prior to driving the car on it?

Vette on the wall is a nice touch and practical too!

 

[OH-MAN]

Very nice, The Vette looks right at home in there.

Note when using flammable stuff, Like epoxy flooring turn off the gas water heater
I don't know if the glue for tile is flammable or not. Just thought about it and want everyone to be safe.

Cure time was 6 days. Average temp 70. 100 pound weight roller did squat! Eventually had to run the car over the tiles, clean up the tire marks, and let it dry another 2 days. If I did it again, I would do that but put towels over the front tires and just use them.

They ride in daddy's fast car, they have to work . Actually only the one in pink is mine the other is a friend's child. They did real good work. Title costs $28.53 per box of 48. I get a little bit of a discount at HD, so I ended up doing this whole garage for around $800 (cabinets, floors, extras). Would have normally been in the $1200 range.

Didnt think about that. Should have. Yes, the tile glue is flammable. So is the cleanner you use to get up the excess glue. I remember that when I'm building louvered doors around it.

Can you use a jack on that floor? What about sparks from say grinding/welding?
