I spent hours of prep work on the floor to ensure a better epoxy bond, but I guess it didn't pay off.

I have only had mine 1 month shy of year and haven't seen any peeling yet. I not only did 2 days of prep but also ran a dehumidifier for day to pull as much moisture out of the concrete before applying the epoxy. we will see how long it holds up for.

Easily, it just doesn't go up all the way on the rails. Just to the top of the door opening. I will take pics later to post so you can see what i am talking about.
Thanks its a new replacement to my 99 E36 M3. Just got it yesterday.

MrRoboto · 04-29-2009, 02:35 PM

Yea estoril blue had a good run, 7 years, but it was ready to part ways and move on to something more track and less road going.

Kids bikes, lawn and garden tools, etc? Sounds like a stupid question but most all of these garages look completely dedicated to the car (Amen BTW). I am in a new build area and we can't have garden sheds. Nice work guys. Thanks.

Where can you buy one of those racks to hold the car up in your garage?
