My Mancave Renos Have Begun!

So I spent the whole day cleaning the garage. There were literally boxes and crap EVERYWHERE, I couldn't back my car in without being afriad of hitting something. So after a hard day's work this is what I've accomplished so far. The empty spot is for my 09 A4. These are 2 of the 4 garages (the other 2 are on the other side of the house)






As you can see it is quite clean. We just installed those fluorescent lights with 4 bulbs and will have another one above the NSX. Those combined with worklights should provide ample light. Some things that are coming is some nice fresh paint, epoxy the floors, and we're building a large workbench/shelving. Finally a place where I will be able to spend days detailing my cars (and some friends). If you have any ideas, throw them in!

Did a photoshop of what I'm thinking with the walls. What do you guys think? Thought it would be nice with since the NSX is red with some black and my Audi is black. What do you guys think?

^ Definitely, I'm going to add some epoxy coatings in the near future.

How about the same style with a grey bottom?

Re: My Mancave Renos Have Begun!

The NSX looks like it has not moved in a while. What's up with that?

By the way, your color ideas for the garage are almost exactly what I have. professionally done gray floors with aggregate finish (colored sand for texture), bright red walls, with gray accents, and black and silver cabinets. It looks great when you are done! Trust me.

We were doing our driveway, so there was more than a 6inch drop from the garage floor to the gravel, so it hasn't moved in a year and winter also.

Looks good, I am going to start on mine soon. I have a bunch of 6" scrap stainless steel that I am going to use as a border around the garage.
