Just to add, I was worried about slippage. So far, zero concerns about that. It’s not very slippery at all, even with this high shine. My only real complaint is the scratching.

Do any of you guys know if you can pour concrete over top of an existing concrete floor?
I have about 8” of depth to work with, so rather than hammer out the existing floor, I’d simply like to pour over top of it. Will there be issues with doing this? |

I’d imagine there’d be expansion and contraction between the layers from heat that could cause premature cracking

This garage is a lifetime in the making. Dreams that came true. Still wish I had room for one or two more tho. So I’m still chasing that dragon.

Growing up in Canada we just left our floors natural and played on them.
Here my dad an his two wives are doing a bit of clean up.

There is a big difference between a floor that you just park your car on and one that is used as a shop or work-space.
In the machine shop, I just sealed the concrete, no special coating because the welding spatter, machining chips, and any maintenance wreaks havoc with any coating. The main house garage has epoxy with the cute little speckles. It holds up well, but over time does show wear.

I just had mine professionally refinished with epoxy. My floor had cracks and moisture issues, so it took a lot of prep and a sealing coat first. The next day they laid the color flakes and did the final epoxy. I gave it 3 days to cure before I moved stuff back into the garage. It was around $2,300 for a large-ish 2 car garage. I was worried that it might be slick when wet, since I have motorcycles that I drive in and out, but it's a non-issue. Really easy to keep clean too. I wish I'd done this 18 years ago when I bought my place. Now I just need to get my Carrera 3.2 back from the gearbox rebuild to join it's younger sibling!

We have the same in our garage. The Jeep used to have an oil leak that I could never find nor fix. Wiped off every week and still looks great. |

Very nice. A year later and I still never got this done..... might try to get it done before winter but doubtful. The idea of unloading my garage for all that time makes me tired. I had an 899 track bike, I see your 959 sitting back there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Nice bike! I've had faster bikes but I just prefer being able to wring out the middleweight bikes on the street and using all the power. The 959 is almost too easy though, and I really miss my 900SS/SP's that I've owned and I'm thinking about getting back to an air-cooled Duc. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I've been spending a lot more time on this than my Ducati.

Yeah I sold it and my S4RS earlier this year. Done with bikes. First sold the S4RS and said no more street but then moved away from doing it on the track as well, it's just too dangerous for me with a young family. Risk was just no longer worth the reward but it was fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
