to paint or not to paint?

Bite the bullet you won’t regret it.

Insulated, lined and plastered mine during lockdown.

Bloody hell. Garage envy doesn't even get close.

@sish101: Could it be resin coating?
I’m contemplating doing mine this year, either solid colour or something more jazzy.

Same to you, mate.

I've had 3 x E30 in my life and still want another

Now sadly gone, along with the E63 M6.

As is the house.

I would have another E30 in a flash, however, the one I regret moving on was my E24 635CSI. I only appreciated how good it was on the drive down to the dealer when I sold it on!

Nice garage above but lacks appropriate contents/clutter.

Deleted odd duplicate post.

I have a couple of tins of this waiting to go on the floor, along with a primer coat.

I like this style...

[Jimmcb]

Paint with plasticised white paint.

I have a few tins up here you could have had if closer.

Very Sedona-ish

I just finished my garage and have insulated, plastered and painted and it’s worth it, especially at this time of year. Good luck

Should add that I also put Duramatt tiles down, a lot of chaps use them on the Ducati forum and can not recommend them enough.

At work, all of the floors in the labs and workshops had been covered with a very durable (almost plastic feeling) coating. Does anyone know what is available to the general public to provide a similar hard wearing floor? Now I'm retired it would be a good mini project (but I've no idea where I'd put all the floor standing items whilst the surface was drying, expecting that I'd have to do it all in one go).


Sent through the ether by diddling with radio waves.

They could be two pack Epoxy floors. A local decorators merchant will point you in the right direction. However epoxy floors are all about the preparation eg completely dust free, acid type base coat then the two pack. Follow the instructions to the letter. I worked for a company that manufactured epoxy paints ( Sika) we had the complete production floor painted. Within weeks we had issues with the paint lifting in certain areas. Ultimately we would have to routinely re paint areas.

Patience is you friend.

Now we're talking. I just know you've got a thingummybob to fix a whatsit somewhere in there.

Yep, 4th drawer down in the green tool chest.

[Weirdfish]

Approx 55 litres of paint later and this is the result.
Second fix electrics are booked in and the painting of the floor as soon as possible after electrics are done, ( electrician did say that the floor will not get damaged but I just thought it better to wait until after they had finished ).

[JonRA]

Looking good

[reggie747]

Brilliant. When can I move in ?

[459GMB]

Definitely the right thing to do. Look so much better than not painted ...

[Montello]

That looks excellent. What colour carpets ?

[Weirdfish]

I’m under strict instructions about what it is, lol.
I am allowed a toy to park in it though🙈😂

[Franco]

Looks excellent - had the same done five years ago and do not regret it. Resin paint on the floor is top.

[Pitch3110]

Fantastic job.
