RaceDeck installed
Well after about a year of research, thought and planning I finally purchased and installed RaceDeck for our garage floor. I considered paint, epoxy, VCT, rolled mats and just about anything that would cover the awful paint job of the previous home owner. The previously mentioned considerations would require much time for floor prep, installation and drying time. That would mean that both cars would sit outside for several days and I would have no place to temporarily store all of the essential stuff that is part of the garage.
With this in mind, I decided on RaceDeck. True, it is expensive compared to some of the other choices but it works best for my needs. It's portable. It's easy to install. I can sell it if I choose. I can repair it. I have plenty of choices for color/design. And it looks GREAT!
The floor completes the major refurb to the garage. My trophy wife thought I was nuts but it was fun.
Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Nine boxes packaged in 4 sq ft sections...
Start the layout in one corner...
On a roll...

The finish line...
Home, sweet home...

I can't see the pics, but what's the racedeck surface like?? Smooth enough to crawl around on and not get scraped up?? Able to roll a jack around on them OK?? Creeper friendly?? Are they solid or a design with holes straight through??

You made the right choice 
In the past I have painted, and repainted, and repainted garage floors at homes I have owned.
I have paid for professional painting of these floors - only to have them 'peel' and discolor as time passed.
I have 'tiled' some of the garage floors - only to have the tiles 'lift' over time.
I have even carpeted (outdoor material) the garage floor.
None, not one, of the alternatives can compete with RaceDeck IMO.
I laid the floor in our present garage in 2000. Not one issue with the product.
BTW - I really like the front border you did - I may have to steal that idea!!!!!

I like it. 
More money than I want to spend, so I will probably go with an epoxy paint.
