Q:
Here's a before shot of the way the garage basically was when I moved in....No lighting, ugly pink cabinets, and a big ass plastic countertop with more pink cabinets below....and a home made storage rack that was constructed with more nails than wood....god that thing was a bitch to move out.
Used the RustOleum Professional EpoxyCoat 2 part solvent. 2 coats of epoxy and 1 coat of clear.
Before

Best $400 I ever spent! I'll be doing the 3rd stall this spring!
Here's the rest of the garage
Overhead storage racks
My nice wood shelving and all my car care products

My "garage project" left me with a smashed finger today!
I already painted the concrete. Working out there today I was shocked to realize I had laid that concrete 14 November 1999. I know I painted at 28 days, so that would put it going on 7 years of exposure to the sun, intermittently under the gawd-awful tarp abortions I've had over it since then...
The past three days have had me set posts in concrete, hoist 4X12's (16 footers!) atop my posts, and today lay out and nail in all the 2X8 Joists for the roof.
Back to work Monday, so sometime this next weekend I will get a REAL roof over the space between my sheds for the first time since there was concrete there!
Then all that's left is to make the back wall so the wind and rain doesn't blow through all over my junk between the sheds...
It never ends...
Your floor looks better'n mine right now. I'll have to check out that speckle paint crap, it looks decent enough. Though again, linoleum might be an alternative as well. White and Black Checkerboard. But I know Linoleum doesn't like Jackstands all that much...
Maybe just pour some more concrete so I can actually get a car back there without using rampst to get the front up on the hard surface!
People Are Idiots, Just look around here and you will see!

Very, VERY nice.

Tyson, How many Rustoleum kits did you buy for that area? I seemed to remember, one kit does basically a one-car garage.

A:
One kit does 300-400 square feet. That 2 stall portion was 375 square feet.
I used 2 kits to do 2 coats, and then 1 coat of clear. I wish I had the money for a 2nd coat of clear.
A:
You realize, if you do that, JeffP's gonna get spoiled when he comes over to work on his car at your place... :)
