Garage Floor Coating / Covering

I did the U-Coat-It route a couple of years ago. Normal spills clean up fine. The real problem is the New Z-rated tires leave tire marks in it and they don't clean up... hmm. The regular tires on the daily driver are no problem. Other than that the surface has held up well for 2 years.

was a big discussion on the boss registry,i really don't think they came up with an agreeable product,i think simpler the better,just repaint over the bad spots,my.02 cts.les

Try www.griotsgarage.com. They have diamond plate floor tiles in various colors.

I pretty much tried it all. In the end nothing beats concrete paint. Look great for a nice while. Easy to touch up. And you just redo it every few years for almost nothing.

Everything else I tried requires a perfect glasslike finish to start with or it looks like junk shortly after. Even on a nice finish the final product isn't worth the expense and the sweat.

When I was researching this almost every product which was painted on required unsealed concrete for adhesion. Since you're getting fresh concrete make sure it doesn't get sealed if you're going this route. As for the tile, I'm not sure how resistant the glue is to some of the materials that may get spilled on it. Plus any hot material dropping on the tile will damage it and tile tends to yellow with age. At least with paint, you can repaint fairly easily.

Mark's lift is a Backyard Buddy lift, looks to be the 7000 lb standard height model. VERY well built, I just finished installing mine last night at 10pm. Installation kicked my butt, did it completely alone, but it's finally done. I posted a thread in the 'garage' some time ago and will update with new pics.

Thanks for that!
Thinking of getting one, but limited on size and lift height.

Costco has a special on the 12 x 12 diamond plate, white, black and grey.
$89 for a box of 48.

Sorry I did not get back to you right away, but John is right its a Backyard Buddy lift. My friend Rich just got it 2 weeks ago. Now he is taking about making his garage bigger and getting a longer lift to fit his truck. So he ask me if I wanted to buy the one he just got. I told him I would but I have to wait 1 or 2 years until he builds the garage. I hope I can wait that long

Presuming that you are going to stack two Panteras, I am pretty sure that even an 8'high ceiling is too low.
You are going to have to build a custom height garage in order to benefit from the lift completely.
If you have a wood frame freestanding garage with less height then you need, you make be able to remove the ceiling beams to gain more height.
If you do substitute collar beams every other roof rafter to give the building structural integraty and keep the ridge board as that.
If you don't you need to consider it as a header, which it was not designed for and it could collapse on you and yours toys.
That can't be good.

I have a 4-pole lift, epoxy floors, and 9' ceilings.

I can stack the Pantera on top of my Nissan daily driver.

Only you can determine that. Lighting, garage door openers, etc are factors.


Good luck...
