    Default Finished My Garage...Finally!!!

    After acid washing my floor 3 times and allowing plenty of drying time I followed up with 4 coats of custom mixed concrete stain and 6 coats of high gloss sealer. All the paint is old school oil base since I wanted maximum gloss and this required days not hours of drying time between coats or stripes. Every time I open my garage door I feel like the time and work was worth it but at the time it was the project from hell.

    Tom,
    Thanks!! I think that too now every time I open the door on my garage. However, when we were out there at 3:15AM inhaling the oil base paint and trying to make these stripes level I had an entire different opinion.

    Default Garage.......Ark Corvette vanity plate.

    Very nice. Blue is my color. Good job in the AM.

    I'm working to collect a Corvette vanity plate from each state.
    Got 50% and the project came to a screeching halt.
    Maybe when in warms up.
    Still need Ark. Any year plate with any reading/saying. Just
    so it road a Corvette.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Mike. Thanks for the reply. I have a list of vanities. of which I will add
    yours, but my project is to get an actual plate from each state. Any year.
    Should have been a little clearer with my writing.

    Color me jealous! I wish I had a garage for my Corvette related stuff... 'cause I've got a LOT of Corvette related stuff.

    Nice job - it looks great!

    I bet you do Mike! You've created a garage worthy of housing your Vette!
    And by the way... I love that 2004 Collector's Edition!
