Re: Garage Floor (Baaad96)
I would steer away from carpet... water, grease, metal shavings, toxic substances- not good.
There are some non-absorbant, rubber-like coatings out there that are designed specifically for garages- I just can't remember what they are or how expensive they'll be. Good luck.

My friend tiled his garage floor, but it couldn't stand up to what the floor jack could dish out. It looks like hell now. :nonod:

Re: Garage Floor (Baaad96)
I did the black and white checker board tile in my last house and really liked it. Turned out very nice and cleans up easily. Any tiles damaged can be replaced easily....and are readily available at Home Depot or Lowe's. Didn't want to drop some serious change on the floor for the race deck or other systems...when I can put those $$$ into another vette! :)

Re: Garage Floor (CanadaVette)
Thanks for all the feedback! :thumbs:
After thinking it all out Ithink i will go with the racedeck. I have a 2 car garage and 4oo square feet to do and it will set me back a bit but i think after i get the racedeck layed on the floor it will be well worth the money! :cool:
A nice place to park my 2 roadsters
96 red roadster,auto,black top and interior,6-way power drive and passenger seats,sport seats,bose gold series am/fmw/cass and cd,electronic air,18k miles
2000 mr2 yellow spyder roadster,black top {better half}

Re: Garage Floor (ROADRACER_)
How long is that hardwood floor going to last with a jack stand and a jack rolling around on it?

I used UCoatit and am not 100% pleased with the results. If you use it best results require at least 3 coats.
I know someone who has race deck, they've had problems getting the cars in and out w/o moving the flooring
