It's just floor paint or laquer depending on the brand. Get the gloss because it is thicker and gloopier than the satin stuff which makes it really heavy wearing. | |

Well in all honesty, the point that Fee made about dropping tools has put be off ceramic tiles. I'm shit when it comes to dropping things, especially as I was often pissed when I was rebuilding my crossers :lol: | |

If you don't go for tiles on the floor, you can get some really good thick floor paint from B&Q which is like resin when it goes off. It's what I plan on putting down in my garage to seal the floor in... | |

The cupboard on the left with the half height door. In there is quite a lot of space and its nearly full height when u get in there. Just the door looked better like that. | |

Where do you keep anything you might need to use in a garage? | |

I have slate tiles on my garage floor. Plastered all the walls. Added a LCD connected to my media center and some speakers and a sub :) | |

What about those interlocking floor tiles that are made from plastic? I'm bothered as the floor is tarmac rather than concrete... its ver soft in comparison, and I've found that its better to spread the load if something heavy is on it. | |

I've got floor paint down on mine. So much easier to keep clean now. The amount of dust that used to build up drove me mental. | |

don't bother boarding the walls...that will just make it even smaller....as said, just masonry paint. | |

massonery paint the walls white will make it brighter and paint the garage floor with garage floor paint will make a big difference. for parts storage get some plastic bins that clip on to a metal bracket | |

quote: Neah, got the house for that... its my own place so can do what I want there :thumbs: Besides, its not a massive garage, there's not much room in there with the units and my toolbox, plus I plan to buy a compressor and welder. I want to have the place totally clutter free as it used to be a nightmare working on my crossers in there before. It's gonna also be used to strip my R6 down to a frame over winter so I can have the frame & swing arm powdercoated. Gonna want to have storage for the parts where they can be safe & easily identified for the build up. | |

I'm moving back up to Bolton again soon and the first job is to tidy out my garage and make it a pleasant place to work in. |
