Gibbsa that looks amazing! Did you have a company come out and do this? Also if you don't mind me asking how much did something like this run?

Gibbsa,
That looks great, how was the Jaguar graphic done?

Strippersteel,
I did a customer's 3 car garage a couple of years ago using a product called RaceDeck. They are interlocking plastic 12"X12" squares. They snap together and go right over existing garage floor without any prep. Start to finish a one day project. Attached is a picture right after we finished (but before we mopped it). Cost, as I recall, was about $3.50/sf. Doing a scale drawing labeling each square with color desired makes for a much easier installation than trial and error.

Hi - thanks, I think it's really cool. Yes, I used ecotiles (Ecotile Industrial Flooring | Solving Your Flooring Problems) to do my garage floor some years ago. They then did a Ferrari logo and now the Jaguar. They are an excellent outfit. The logo's are made from floor tiles that are cut into pieces using high pressure water jet. It comes as an enormous jigsaw puzzle (in the case of the growler - 25boxes containing +90 pieces) that are then put together and fixed by the installers. It took around 4hours to get it down and is 5x5 tiles.

Cost is circa £1,200 (inc vat) +£150 install... connect with Amy at Eco and tell them I sent you

Thanks tberg, as I commented to Strippersteel, they cut the logo from new tiles using high pressure water jet - and it's micro millimetre perfect - fits together like an enormous puzzle.....and it's a great result!

Very cool. Had no idea this was a thing. If I ever have my own garage (and stop living in condos) I'm definitely doing this.

I'm doing my garage this spring. Paintings all done floor is next. Trying to decide between RaceDeck and a couple others, but this definitely adds a new and interesting wrinkle to the decision process. Hmmm

For anyone interested in RaceDeck, they sent me a full sample box with all the products and colors. If anyone is interested, I would be happy to ship the samples to them.
