So I did this a while ago. There is a forum called garage journal and you can go there to get ideas on how to blow money into garage. As far as flooring. I am a strong adviser for porcelain floor. Yes that’s right. Porcelain PEI 4 or 5 tile. You can put radiant heat under it too. You can power wash floor, you can use jacks and other shit on the floor without putting any protection under it, and it will cost a fraction of the Swisstrax or similar floor. Installation is the killer, but it for life. 9 years now, not one problem with my floor.
Epoxy is hit or miss. Very expensive, and super highly variable quality based on install and prep. Again reference garage journal for more detail. But these floors fail with catastrophic consequences. Prep, timing with weather, and substrate variables can sent your $3k floor into a clusterfuck.
Swisstrax, racedeck, etc are good. But you will get shit living under your floor. Need to put a jack stand on your floor, go get a sheet of plywood 2” thick to not chop through your floor. There are other crap.
What I have found that I’m glad I did.
1.porcelain floor.
2. Outlets everywhere. I have close to 40 in my garage. Around benches, floor, ceiling, above cabinets.
3. Lights. More lights. Do more points than necessary as I ran into a few issues with not having enough.
Waste of money.
1. Copper line around perimeter of garage for air hose connect. I have a self retracting hose real. And honestly, you need an air hose anyway. Having one on a reel makes cleanup easy. This makes it no point to have air connections everywhere at all.
Hope this helps.
