    Take a look at the thread titled "Garage Project" under Showroom for some ideas on Black & White...

    The floor is a product from Concrete Solutions...

    Hey Jr.

    While I know you're entertaining non-grey options, here's a picture of my painted garage floor. What I love about this paint is everything (oil, greese, water etc) sits on top of the paint and I simply wipe it up with a paper towel.

    Every spring, I hose - mop - squeegee the floor and it looks amazing.

    Only down side is it can be slippery when it's wet.

    Good luck,

    Frank

    The beauty of a solid light colored floor is that you can "spot" anything that is on your floor (oil, coolant etc) that should only be in your auto.

    how about Ferrari colors! matched the colors exactly and then had vinyl images laid down then clear coated. my F-car is happier when he's resting with his friends.

    I did a broadcast chip called black granite. It is definitely not a gray. A Home Depot subcontractor did it. It has alot of texture so is a good nonslip. I never have any problem seeing fluids on it. I don't turn a wrench so I'm not looking for a nut.

    My space is 43x46 so I wanted something consistent. I couldn't see doing black and white checkers on something that big. My cars are generally understated not edgy. Some classics. My silver 456MGT looks great on it.

    I have recieved compliments from everyone who has seen it. The overall effect is of a black with a flake.
