Race deck looks really cool, but at $4 a sq. ', by garage would cost about $2600 to cover.

I learn something new everyday!
I have my garage floor painted with epoxy and have a couple of places that I did not think would ever clean up, until I read where you used brake cleaner. Worked like a charm!
Thanks!

That's what I used and so far it's holding up pretty good.. I also added 2 coats of clear coat to make it last longer!!

Re: Anyone Using Racedeck Flooring? (Eddie 70)
When painting the floor with the Epoxy Garage Floor Paint do you paint the whole floor white and come back and add black squares or do you layout the squares first and paint them black and white as you go along? Which would be easier? :confused:

ok ok ... it's expensive.
VanSteel - that's a strange advertisement. Why not advertise price per pkg and list square foot number for comparison to other methods.

I think everyone should look again.
VanSteel's site says 3.75 per piece, but a piece is 2' x 2'. That's only $1 per square foot. Not bad at all.

I think YOU need to read again. They're packaged in 2' X 2' but each piece is 12"X12"x1/2" @ $3.75 per foot.
I don't like the idea of cleaning underneath it or the diamond plate preventing my creeper from rolling smoothly.
Whatever, to each his own.
