Small Garage Remodel

[CoastieRider]

Was bored so I redid my garage over the last few weeks... new epoxy floor (should have used racedeck flooring, but wateva) new craftsman 8ft Stainless steel bench (on sale 40% off) and harbor freight rolling cabinet..( Do not underestimate HF on this toolbox it's alot heavier duty than craftsman and Kobalt and only $300 with coupon.... and a brand new 33 gallon Air compressor with all the air tools for $100 on craigslist...

Nice work... Hey just so you know it looks like someone stole your airbox cover and filter...

Very nice and clean. I wish my garage was that clean. instead its full of all kinds of different stuff just enough room to get the bike in though so alls good.

wow, thanks for posting!

I'm working on my 1-car townhome garage workshop right now. It's tough to stay motivated, working 10+ hour days really kicks my ass during the week.

Can you tell me more about the bike stand? It looks to be a convertible front/rear setup.

prolly shouldn't mention this but, Nice H-D colors[up]

 

[CoastieRider]

I wanted Buell colors but Black and Blue didnt really seem to fit..

Looks GOOD...Except for the H-D colors![down]

Na man HD colors all the way! Your bike wouldn't quite be the same without that sportster motor so everybody should be grateful for them!

thats the one thing i cant understand on this forum??? most of us are riding harley powered rockets and alot of people diss harley. i am appriciative that they took eb in and let him use their engine, etc. love the sound of the v twin but the look and feel eb gave our xb's. garage looks good, wish mine looked half as clean. to many projects that i cant let go of..... someday they will all come together.

Nice job. I need to do a organizing makeover in my garage too.

 

[Midnight82]

NICE JOB!!!

Makes me wish I had my own garage!

Nice job! Which epoxy system did you use for the floor? I'm looking to do mine soon and was looking at the Rustoleum system at Lowes for $120.

Looks great. [up]

ive heard only oil based sticks over time. but thats really expensive.

Coastie - can you give me a ballpark idea of how long it took you to do the floor? Is it something I could do in one day? ie roll my **** out of the garage in the morning, and have it done sometime that evening?

I've been looking at the race deck stuff too, more for the ease of installation.

The Floor:
Clearcoat: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-22...f=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1280967557&sr=8-17

Basecoat: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-20...9?ie=UTF8&s=industrial&qid=1280967557&sr=8-29

basecoat was 2.5 car garage kit not 1 car...

the prep was a pain in a$$, way too much work in my opinion, i followed the directions and it came out okay, but not great... if i had to do it again i would definately go with RACEDECK!!! soo much sweat (figuratively and realistically) went into the prepwork, my floor is on 9 years old but parts of the concrete were a lil more porous than others and you can tell, especially where i filled in the cracks with the epoxyshield crack filler($$$) ... painted it in the morning about an hour or so, next morning added clearcoat, supposed to wait 4 days to fully cure but the Homeowners Association was up my butt, because my bench was sitting in my driveway for a few days during prep.. so i hurried..the epoxy itself is as hard as steel..

$120 for the basecoat
$100 for the clearcoat
$100 for supplies
eh..you can always take the racedeck with you if u leave...
