BMW ///M Inspired Garage Remodel

jd_perspective · 02-23-2023, 09:45 AM

awesome dude! I am preparing myself to redo my garage as well.
Mind sharing what kind of cost to do that floor? I have the same sq footage. (I'm up in Orlando so figure pricing should be in the same ballpark)

chrish_22 · 02-23-2023, 12:36 PM

Well done! This is absolutely gorgeous and it seems the little doggo approves as well

Dream setup right here, amazing job man!

It was $7/ft all in. Some places will charge $8-12 so look around

Incredible! Well done!!

Looks incredible, well Done. if you find it too slippery when wet, you can always just lightly roughen up surface and layer another coat of clear with some fine material in it for increased texture/traction.

That’s a steal, I paid double that and assuming that’s multi layer system (which it looks to be) thats an incredible deal.

Wow, not sure which is more amazing the garage or your car. Great job on both..Enjoy!

Just a few weeks ago this garage had plain white walls, bare concrete with countless cracks and unevenness, and a single light bulb illuminating it.

My wife bought me the hex lights for my birthday and once they were installed I felt like I needed to dive in the rest of the way and finish the garage. We painted the white walls with the dark grey and then picked up M colors to paint the stripes on the wall.

Then came the decision on the flooring. I was deciding between Swisstrax or some sort of epoxy. With the condition the concrete was in I thought it would make more sense to actually fix it, rather than just throw something on top which would be a similar price.

I knew I wanted to use a professional company to do the epoxy properly because I have yet to see any of my friends' DIY epoxy garages that did not start to peel/delaminate after a while. I did consider the traditional flakes, but because I honestly do not do any major car work myself, a metallic epoxy floor like what I went with would hold up just fine.

I chose a silver metallic epoxy and told the company do put minimal red/blue veins in the floor. After day 2 of the started job, color was finally added. They told me if I wanted to, they could add even more color before the top layer was added in on day 3 to seal it in. The main guy suggested that if I do want more color, to maybe have a spilling effect of the M stripes from the wall onto the floor. I said go ahead and add more color and do whatever you want - be creative. This is the result and I could not be happier with how everything turned [...]

Your some crazy artist. Nice

Beautiful work!!! Love it! Did you consider a wall mount GDO? I put one in when finishing my garage. Huge difference, would be killer with your lighting.

dtmurf · 02-24-2023, 03:43 PM

Looks amazing. For the stripes on the wall you just say "...picked up M colors to paint the stripes on the wall"

Wondering what kind paint...do paint colors have part numbers?

pawlie · 02-24-2023, 07:29 PM

Absolutely love it! Great work 50shadesofhockenheim.

looks insanely fire even if you are an m owner it would match the whole design of it

HTTP 410 · 02-28-2023, 07:05 AM

Do you have the paint color codes, by chance? I tried hard to get a paint match at Lowe's but don't think it's 100%. Would like to have them on hand for the future.

DivergedM2 · 02-28-2023, 10:19 AM

Seen this on IG - awesome job. When I finally have my "detached" garage, will definitely pull some inspo!

vadimo · 03-02-2023, 09:11 AM

Looks amazing, I have the garage images as background on my phone and PC

FuturPhil · 03-02-2023, 09:32 AM

Looks dope af! And yeah idk what it is but my family did our garage epoxy DIY and it’s peeling where the tires rest. I think the key is that huge machine pros use to prep the concrete prior to applying anything. We of course just scrubbed and used chemicals to strip dirty parts.

Only problem I would have doing this is limited exit opportunity if/when selling the house - unless your buyer owned an M of course
