Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Texaco themed shop project

[Menifee Valley Speed Shop]

So the main shop epoxy didn't show up in time for Sat. I was able to get the office coated today.

Looks like glass. It’s gotta be bitter sweet to now fill shop full of stuff.

Boy does that floor make for a great finish to the place. Did you do it or have it done?

Oh no it’s already full. Lol.

On the sander, is that how you normally have it oriented, disc facing outwards? Mine is set that way and I find I don’t use the belt as often as I’d like.

Very nice. How do you like the dark overhead. I tried it and wound up drywalling and painting mine off white for more light.

Thanks, so far I like it, plenty of light but haven't done "real" work in there yet

Can you provide the specifics (brand name, "model", etc) of the epoxy (or what ever) you used.
I don't think I have ever seen a floor covering with that degree of sheen. The reflectivity must be amazing.

Hi Craig, call Tony at Epoxymaster in Troy Michigan, tell him Mark in CA sent you, Ive been very happy with his support. Another option is Scotty at Legacy Industrial, he is on the journal here too. I had already bought from Tony when I stumbled on Scott, but his product for filling the expansion joints works great!!

That's a great shot of some serious shine.
I could use your help doing the party garage floor.

Put together/restored an old counter for the office

[shortykorte]

Nice counter. Was it originally from a gas station?

In our Texaco, all the front sales cabinets and shelves were wood and painted a slightly darker avocado green.

I found it locally at garage sale, they had 3. Probably some retail thing. I re-skinned them and paint/sign. Do you have pics of yours?

Cool build. Doing the same with our new build and will take our Esso pump from my old barn to install out front between the garage doors.

 

[fartymarty]

Beautiful Garage! I love it!

Even though it's the wrong brand, the outside night shots remind me of the
Ed Hopper art "Gas"


I think if you explore HDR photography you'll be VERY please with your resulting outdoor twilight/night/dawn shots of your garage....you'll be able to get both the subtle sky sunset colors without your well made Texaco sign getting over exposed.
Thanks for sharing with us!

the Alemite bench is so nice. You're doing a 1st class job on your theme. I'm just down the road in Oceanside.
