But a Helluva lot of work. Had to sand off Behr Epoxy then pressure washed and put the glue down.

Looks Great Sarg! It really cleans up the whole garage. And it really brings out the blue of the ride. Its great that you would put down a nice floor for your Vette to feel at home.

Thanks all. It's a working garage. I've had the drive train out of that car 3 times this summer from the flywheel back. We'll see how it holds up. Goal is just to keep it clean. No shiny stuff. Won't last long with ****** jacks and safety stands rolling all over it.

Looks great! I am really wanting to do that to my garage floor in the worst way.

Looks great! I would have gone with VCT if my slab wasn't such a mess.

Did you fill those joints between the sections, or is their a gap under the tile along those lines? I don't know if that will be a problem or not -- I've never installed VCT.

Even though you have a lift, do you have any idea how VCT stands up to floor jacks and jackstands? And did you seal it with any thing?

I didn't fill anything. The floor is about 3 years old and been through a couple winters so she's moved where she is going to move unless I have a big sink hole underneath. Which I don't. I'm on solid limestone. Inspector said I didn't even need a foot.

That's the beauty. If a tile gets tore up I can chisel it up and throw down another and all is well.

I was in the Marine Corps. for 10 years and have been on my share of ships. They all have VCT in the passage ways, berthing, mess deck, and office spaces. If it can stand up to that it will be fine for me...
