I can fully support painted floors and LED lighting. Cleanup is generally simple and after the lighting upgrade, I only need flash lights for spot work. No need to rent shop space if you're willing to set up the place you have for the work you want to do!

Great garage, I think it is the "garage majal" for simplicity and getting work done.....I would love to  paint my floors, but weather (near the arctic circle) and age have ravaged the floor and a SUV hasn't helped either.

In reply to duke906 :

Consider a self leveling concrete repair. I've never used it, and can't speak to how effective it is or isn't, but it seems like it would be better than salt and water damaged concrete? Once it's nice and level, treat it with an epoxy top coat (like all things, prep work is the most important work here), and you'll have a fresh garage floor to work with.

 

I would recommend a grit texture if you're finding your floors wet from snow and the like. Wet epoxy is about as slick as a greased up dog turd.
