hey all, been lurking for quite some time and thought I would share my beginner build and ask a question regarding Racedeck tiles marking.
So the "flooring" questions...
1> I have decided that I will go with Racedeck Diamond XL , alloy/graphite checker pattern but with a yellow border instead of the more frequent red.
For those that have used the yellow tiles how well have they resisted marking from tires?
Being brighter than the red am I going to be hating lifr driving back and forth across them?
2> I will also be using Yellow as my wall stripe (between the standard white top, grey bottom. Has anyone bought a Yellow paint to match the Racedeck Yellow? If so do you have the code for it, ultimately I am looking for a Benjamin Moore color code.
I know I can take a tile into the shop and have them match it, I was just hoping to get the paint all done while I wait for the tiles to come.

I'll put the build up in more detail in a separate thread.

I'll try to attach a sketch of my plan here for interest sake.
You will notice that I am only using one of the bays of the Garage- the other 2 are for Parking... nothing cool there just some cabinets and the Costco rolls of vinyl for flooring.
Once the workbay is done I may carry over the paint scheme and flooring in phase 2 (or is it 3 or 4?)

I have no tire marks on any color of my tiles. I had all white under the 4-post for a decade and when I switched under the 4-post to graphite, the white tiles still looked good. Rest of the garage is black&white with a red border and tires don't seem to mark Racedeck at all.

Welcome to the forum.

I have the diamond pattern and while I am not using the yellow tiles, I have no tire marks on the red, black, orange or gray tiles. But to be fair, I don't park the cars in the garage very often, just to change oil and to do work on them from time to time.

I am in the middle of painting it now,Waiting for the tiles to arrive to get a close yellow for the border in the middle.
Had to tear down perfectly fine walls as the builder never insulated.
Flooring should arrive this week, and will post finished result.
