Everything looks brand new. Nice!

Question: how deep is your garage? Looks like a tight fit.

Nice job. I'm planning something similar as soon as the temperature moderates--two-tone light gray over darker with a boundary. I've got Racedeck flooring in silver, charcoal and blue waiting to go down and everything color-coordinated (by chance) to the silver Crossfire I just bought.

Don't you pity those poor folks whose car colors don't match their garage palette?

What kind of flooring is that? Wolverine?
Fantastic job! I'm hoping to do my two car this spring.
I hope and pray it looks half as good as yours!

Fantastic Job. But what are the two pins in front of the water heater, and I see you have your rollaround beside them

According to our county building code, there has to be a block of wood secured on the ground in front of the water heater. I took out the block of wood but the bolts are secured in the concrete.

My wife and I have been shoping for houses. I've noticed in new houses that if the hot water heater is in the garage they have a barrier in front of them as well. I guess it makes sense it the wife is prone to run into the back of the garage...

Chris,
Well done sir. Liked that you pulled everything together with the "cool grey" colors in the floor, the walls, and even the bin storage units - and of course, the car itself. Continuity lends design. Looks slick as a result. Welcome, and thanks for sharing the project...
Cheers

Very nice, The block of wood though I guess it supposed to stop one from hitting the hw heater. I spent 12 years in the collision industry that block of wood will not help.
But I'm a ole southern what do I know

Just use duct tape like you would use painters tape around the bottom of the heater.

CHRIS,
Thank you, i was also wondering what you did for the "area" around the water heater like in the very back corner of it?? did you apply any coating to behind it? mine sticks out about 4-6" from the back corner of the garage. did you just leave it alone since it looks like you "boxed" it in?
thanks for the time & again a very nice garage....

Mine is tucked right up against the corner all the way. The coating was applied as far as one can reach it.

Did you add more flakes to your floor, or did you just use the amount that came with the kit? Looks fantastic by the way! Clean and simple!

Yes very beautiful, I can understand the flake in the floor cuz it looks great but it seems like I'm always dropping some small nut or bolt and I think it would be a nightmare to find.
