Gladiator cabinets for the "new" garage

That looks great, how long did it take you to lay the epoxy down? Also how durable do you think it is? will it withstand the use of jacks and such on the floor? I was thinking about doing some sort of epoxy job in one of my bays but I`m not sure if the floor can take the abuse.

Looks like a great place to get down and dirty with some detailing.

I paid to have the floor done, it took them a full day to sand the floor down. Then 2 more days of applying the epoxy and sand quartz. It is durable, but with the sand quartz being rough my cheap alum jack left some scuffs marks. A smooth floor would of been better for jacking, ect. The rough floor is better for "detailing" as I won`t bust my ashe on a wet floor.

Great job Bryan. It looks like everything really came together on your project. Top notch.

Your garage looks great. I did a lot research on cabinets before doing my garage and also went with Gladiator. I did have some difficulty organizing detailing products because the tall Gladiator cabinets were so deep, so I picked up this Gladiator cabinet (Gladiator GAFS42KDSG Fold-Away Workstation) and found it to be a useful addition for detailing. The fold-down shelf is just shallow enough to hold a lot of detailing products behind it with all of them being accessible and the fold-down shelf is great as a working surface since I don`t have a dedicated bench in the garage. I don`t know if this would work for your work space but tossing it out as something to consider.

Bryan thats an awesome set up. Very sweet looking garage. What size compressor do you have up in the attic?

I`ve seen a few people have been putting tile in their garage for flooring...and it apparently holds up to some pretty heavy abuse: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118463

I might got that route...after i actually get a house haha! First things first, a truck, then a trailer to pull my detailing gear around in...and then do enough work to be able to get a house...but thats another story.

Really sweet set up man and congrats!
