I finally decided to do something about my garage floor. And after looking at the interlocking tiles, I decided that painting the black/white checkerboard would be cheaper and give me something to do. So heres a few pics that I took a week or so ago, I should have the entire garage done in another week or so. And stay tuned because I added a little flair as of recent (more pics to follow)
lol...whats up with that kid stuck in the corner thats one time out i would never ever want...couldnt even move around
I clicked this thread just ready to hate! However, it looks good. What are you painting it with? Curious because my Dad's garage floor is looking kinda like arse.
looks good. what kind of paint is it? i used dryloc on mine and it looks liek complete crap now. i was loking into the epoxycoat, but it takes a week to totally cure!!!!
I used BEHR brand garage floor paint from HOME DEPOT. Once I finish all of the garage, I am going to put a wet look sealer on it. Hopefully, that will be soon. Pics to come soon!
The barbers chairs I got at a garage sale, I am in the process of repainting them too, one project at a time, hahaha....
I am in the middle of epoxy coating mine right now. I was plannig to do that but decided I need my garage more then waiting for paint to dry.
How did you get the edges so straight? Masking tape? Must have been very time consuming, but looks great!
First, I decided that I wanted 2.5 ft squares and then marked off along the walls. I used my laser beam level to make sure the lines were straight and that I was getting SQUARE squares. Then I used a 2x4 to trace the lines with a marker. After I had the whole garage marked off I just went to town, starting with my black squares. I tried everything from an edger to masking tape, to painters tape, but the lines would just not be fine enough because the tape wouldnt bond properly to the concrete. So I did it the old fashioned way of edging with a steady hand. Still working on finishing................... PICS TO COME
