Thanks.
I hand painted them on the wall. It took a while but they turned out fairly good.
Next project is grinding, filling and painting the stem walls.

Here are the results from a weekend home upgrade project. When I had the house built about 3 yrs ago, we stained the garage floor black. As you can see in the photos, that stain didn't hold up very well against hot tires. It would have been suitable for foot traffic only. I got some quotes for doing epoxy floors, but with my oversize 4-car garage it would have been in the $5-6K range to come grind, prep, and lay down the epoxy. I started doing some research on the garage tiles instead, and came across a website that was mentioned on a few car forums. These tiles are the "GarageDeck" from www.BigFloors.com (http://www.bigfloors.com/GarageDeck-P15.aspx). They had a Black Friday sale last week, it was worth an extra 10% off their normal pricing. Since they are out of state, we also avoid sales tax, and they have free shipping too. Everything showed up in 4 days. My garage is approx 850 sq-ft, and these tiles cost me $1600 shipped. The site also has a handy design program that you can type in your general garage dimensions and then it places a grid across the area and allows you to drag and drop tiles to make your own design. Then it keeps track of how many of each color you need to order. Pretty neat.

Installation was pretty simple, just line up the edges and hammer them with a rubber mallet. A friend came over and helped, we knocked this floor out in about 3 hours, including a few custom corners and such that we cut with my band saw to fit perfectly. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product and the quick shipping from BigFloors.com.

WOW some awesome garages and awesome collections!!!!!! I don't have garage pics just yet, we just moved into a nice house with acerage and my 36' x 54' shop with a 16' cieling is only half done. It will have an upper level for storage and bar of course, only urinals so the wives get the hint:) and a hoist to the upper floor so my acr will be in the middle of the bar as a "center piece". I'll post when there's something to show besides aroof and framing.

You just have to use some imagination. Red arrow points to garage (I think)

In the meantime, had to rent 3 garages to store stuff including car.

Correct. Floor jacks and such don't harm the plastic tile flooring. The only things you have to be careful with are jackstands, as they have sharp corners on them and can dig into the tiles with the weight of a car on top. Simple solution there is to put 1x1 square 1/4" plywood spacers under them, something to help distribute the load across the plastic tile.
