I am doing some construction in 3 weeks to raise the roof slightly so my
cars don't hit the damn thing again when they are on the lift. Took a few
years but I finally got a crinkle from not paying attention. So...
While the garage is empty, I am going to paint the floor. Griots Garage
has a floor paint that they claim will not lift (
http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_3000&L2=L2_3080 ) cost to do
my garage, about $220. This is paint but it is supposed to be good stuff,
a friend of mine did his garage with it and it looked really good for about
6 years, its now getting scratched and torn up and lifted in only one very
small place that he thinks he didn't prep correctly. Also the $220 does
not cover the cost of acid prep, tools and other things that should drive
up the cost to $300 or so.
For $447.50 I can have epoxy from a place in Hemmings motor news, no web
address sorry. It is called Muscle Gloss and it is a epoxy that they claim
will last. That cost includes the acid prep, brushes, rollers, squeegee,
they say everything needed. Including a mid-step to seal the oil spots
that acid may not clean up completely. She said it is easy to do.
Basically I think the Griots is going to cost me almost the same, which
would you do ? any other suggestions ? What I am trying to do is make the
shop look a little better and also (most important?) reflect light back
under the cars when they are on the lift, it gets dark under there.
