Mod for your garage - Under $100

Cheap mod under $100. I went to my local home center and got some concrete paint, primer, and painting supplies. Followed the instructions, and now I can spill as much fluid as I want while doing oil changes and other minor maintenance on the cars. The epoxy-based paint will not let liquids seep down into the concrete, and liquids can be wiped up with a rag. Yippee!

Re: Mod for your garage - Under $100

Yea I was planning on doing that too, the onlything I'm afraid of is a super slick surface once is gets wet. Back in highschool our Auto Shop had that type of floor, really easy to clean but slick as all hell when wet. Does yours get like that when wet?

My neighboor just did that to his garage and it is slick when yet. He slipped the other day while I was over after he pulled his car into the garage when the car was wet and dripping water. It looks nice though and is nice when cleaning up.

davey2003,

It hardly gets wet in southern Cali. There is an issue with "hot tire pickup" that can damage the paint, and it is explained in the brochures for the paint. If I lived in an extremely wet environment, then I probably would not recommend it, but it is so easy to clean. You'll notice the asphalt strips for the tires. You can add this to get better footing when stepping out of the vehicle when the garage is full of water. I hope that this helps.

I almost forgot that you can add a special sand to the paint that textures the surface and increases traction. I choose to leave it smooth and have been very happy with the outcome.
