Garage ideas..

Hey I guys. I currently have a lot of downtime from my job, so I figured I would update my garage. I'm thinking about adding knockdown texture to my walls and paint them some type of grey. For the floor itself I'm not too sure what to do. Epoxy/with chips, or rocksolid. I'm not a fan of the racedeck look. Hit me up with some pics for ideas.

Thanks..

Thanks my man. That's exactly what I was looking for specifically the floor. Did you do it yourself?

Yes, the floor is DIY with Rust-Oleum ExposyShield and Gloss. It was an easy one, just takes time, but the results are pretty dang good for a DIY project.

None at all. This is where patience pays off. I put a thick coat of clear/gloss and waited 3 days before I parked any vehicles inside.
