[QUOTE="MinGrey02Stg2, post: 16426922, member: 16543"] I went a little different route. I wanted maximum light in the garage when working on things so I painted the walls gloss white, and did the floor in an oil-based gloss white. I then bought 8 gallons of two-part clear epoxy and balloon white pearls from the dipyourcar website. I mixed up the pearls and epoxy in 5 gallon buckets, poured it throughout the garage, and spread it evenly. Here's what I started with. I dipped my Viper in the garage a while back and there was terrible overspray: [ATTACH=full]1643133[/ATTACH] I rented a machine from Home Depot with a DiamaBrush concrete prep tool to shave away all the overspray as well as a bit of the existing concrete. It's important to wet everything down or you'll get tons of dust. Then came the paint: [ATTACH=full]1643134[/ATTACH] I then put 8-8ft LED shop lights, each 7200 lumens for a total 57,600 lumens on the ceiling. Here's what it looks like now and is AMAZING to work in. [ATTACH=full]1643135[/ATTACH] An idea of the shine: [ATTACH=full]1643136[/ATTACH] Durability has been great with what I've done in there so far, but I did chip a dime-sized chunk of the epoxy when I dropped a whole Porsche differential gearset from just over waist high. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
