Nice setup. What type of epoxy are you planning? I'm also considering a polyasparatic/polyurea option that I want to apply before adding a 4-post lift.

Edit - Also, what model/size BendPak lift is that? Looks wider than the others I've seen.

I've gotta do my floor as well. The prep is going to be the hardest part as the previous owner painted the floor brown. GO figure. I am looking at the polyasparatic/polyurea option as well.

That's looking amazing! I'm definitely jealous. Have you considered any wall art like Mark has in the grape garage?
I know there's not much free space there.
