I did the same but put 4 back tiles together then 4 white to give a 4'x4' pattern. That way I can put my car tires on the black tiles so I don't see the tire stains. Have had the vinyl tiles for 6 years now and it still looks great. Only problem is they are extremely slippery when wet. You need to be careful of that.

Thank you but the JD has been moved to the shed for this:
It's a new Harley Dyna Superglide Custom with Screaming Eagle exhaust and Xied tuner.
Notice the tires are still on the black tiles.
On my Vette I have 4:10's, MagnaFlow catback, Predator tune w/160 thermostatstat, C6Z06 clutch, sway bar, shocks, and shifter.

Nice!!!
I have a '05 deuce. Stage 1 with hyper charger, vance and hines big shots and lots-a-chrome. Also in vivid black. The mod bug bit me big time on it.

I used three BLT bright blue 10x33' coin pattern industrial grade PVC vinyl floor panels. It ships quickly via truck in rolls of approx. 300# each. It goes down in a couple of hours by one person. It smells good and it's easy to clean (@ bltllc.com). I can take it with me when we move again. It was cheaper than doing a professionally installed epoxy floor (1,815sf) and much cheaper than RACE DECK.
Having said that if I knew then what I know now, I would not have chosen the product. It has its advantages, but getting the company to reply to a tire stain issue was difficult. They were supposed to contact me once they spoke to their R&D guy...that was over a year ago.

Race deck is nice and isn't as slippery when wet and you can take it with you if you move. I would not use a jack on Race Deck but you can use a jack on vinyl tile and it is a lot less expensive. Both have advantages/disadvantages.

Mine is done with a linolium type product called Allure from Home Depot. It comes in 1' by 3' tiles and lock together with glued edges. Been down over a year now and so far, so good. The price is about 1/3 the cost of Racedeck and is easy to do yourself. It looks like the epoxy and chip coatings and is available different colors.
