Default Remodeled the Cars' Bedroom

What's going on guys. Not much activity from me in awhile after the whole Jiffy Lube fiasco. Spent a lot of time working. But recently, we had the chance to remodel our garage. A few buckets of paint and some epoxy later...our (my brother and I) SCs get a new place to sleep.

Before:



After:



















What about you guys? Where does your SC sleep? POST SOME PICS!

That is a really nice improvement. I wish I had an empty garage to keep my car in.

That is a badass transformation, I really like the way it turned out. Anyone else have some crazy garage for their SC?

We used Quikrete epoxy. You can find it at lowes/home depot. It's stain-resistant, and is pretty easy to clean. Comes with instructional DVD so its pretty hard to get it wrong. It comes as a "dark base" so you can tint it any color you want. We just chose black because it's probably the most forgiving color when it comes to dirt, tire marks, etc.

And yes, you are correct, the red on my brother's car is red garnet pearl.

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. I think it was more time than money. It was a relatively cheap upgrade. Cleaning out the garage was a PAIN. Nasty a** spider webs everywhere, big *** scorpions, etc. But painting and epoxy-ing wasn't bad at all. Especially because here in Texas, we're getting 70 degree "winter" days.
