Re: so i had this great idea.....
Don't you hate it when such a brilliant idea goes so terribly wrong? I
wouldn't have chosen white as my first choice, it seems this would be very
difficult to keep clean.
My neighbor had some kind of epoxy floor installed in his garage, it looks
very nice.

the wifey says i try harder to keep my garage clean than i do our bedroom.

of extra room (for now) and figured id start out with a really clean slate.

Epoxy holds up well. Industrial epoxy is very hard. Toxic odors, 3 part
procedure very similar to POR-15.

Re: so i had this great idea.....
Better than white paint :)
It all depends on the sealer, but remember, they seal shop floors and
those last for years with daily assaults. Just don't skimp on the
materials. I won't be in my current house forever, but I will def. do it
on my next garage. BTW, I love the stained concrete on the interior.
The people who built it had it done (1981) and I would do it again on my
next house in a heartbeat.
