| Very nice, now let's see how long it stays that neat... 
I saw some photos of yours comparing the race deck to the Costco alternative. What made you decide on one over the other, price difference?....quality? | |

| I just recently did mine also. Nice job. Are the cabinets new or recycled? I was able to recycle mine. When you do it my way don't have much of a color choice but I loved the way it turned out. Quite simply it's one of my favorite mods to the house.
never mind on the recycle question. I looked at the pictures first and then read the post.... eyes work faster than the brain. |

| Oh the pressure to keep up with the Jones' (or in this case - the Dukes'). Very nice Chris. I like the approach of using the race tiles.
I keep playing around with the idea of using a color-tinted sealer on the concrete to allow the natural concrete color variances to show through. Then, semi-gloss gray up the walls up to the 4-foot level and flat white above that separated by a red pinstripe. Yeah - right - "One of these days..." | |

| Looks great Chris. I thought about getting a floor similar to that. If it's not too personal, could I ask the cost of the floor? Also, since I do all of my car work on my back under the car, how is the floor to lay on compared to concrete? Sorry for the questions, but I'd like to hear a real testimonial and not advertising hype before investing.

| Toolmann, the quality difference between the CostCo "Motofloor" and the real RaceDeck is pretty huge. Also, after buying the Motofloor (which only comes in black AND white or dark gray only), I decided that long-term, white wasn't the best color for our busy garage. The dark gray wasn't that big of a change, so for the small difference in price, the real McCoy was a no-brainer. Plus we got the colors we originally wanted.
Frozone, bring it on.
Vegas, the cost is $3.50 - $4.00 per sq/ft depending on where you buy, and you can get a better deal if you ask around :) The RaceDeck is hard plastic. It's not soft by any means, but it's softer than concrete... just not much.
I compared the hassle and cost to epoxy as well, and epoxy lost. I'm impressed so far with RaceDeck, but I have no idea how well it holds up after years of abuse. It has a 10 year warranty, and if you have a problem with a tile you can pop it up and replace just that one fairly easily. | |

| Nice job on the garage Chris!
Looks very sharp, will you actually park in there or are you afraid it will get dirty? | |
