Operation Clean Garage!

[hiper]

So I can't stand walking around stuff in my garage. It used to be clean but now it's filled with parts, tools, and junk. I plan to clean the floor of the oil as best as I can. Then etch it, then paint it using concrete paint. Then the walls. Obviously for the walls I will use a satin or semi-gloss paint so if I ever decide to clean it, it is easy.

Any ideas on colors for the floor and walls?? Should I just go with White or go with a bold color?

Oh, and I will be getting a shed for the backyard so no more lawn care stuff in the garage. Strictly car related items and the car since it's a small one-car garage.

The Before(no after yet since I just did it today lol):

How much for the whipper snippers?

Paint the floor an off grey.

[lovesil]

damn, i didn't even have a garage to start off with

But i would say, just do it with a clement grey. Easier for you to spot dirty patches and easy to repaint in future.

I had to google what a whipper snipper was. That is what it is really called over there! It linked me to a New Zealand Black&Decker site.

The floor I guess I can do Grey. Maybe I'll put those black and white tiles on it then. Can I jack up the car safely on them? I'll have to do some homework on that, If I can't, then I won't get them.

It is called a String Trimmer (or just Trimmer) here.

They are also called weed whackers But whippper snipper is the most commonly used term, or edge trimmer.

[hiper]

Hmmm...Time Attack Garage

I would so have a Time Attack garage... except it would have to be Honda Time Attack because black walls with red cornice and skirting would be too dark to polish my car in....
