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!

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.

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

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.
