Yeah... Getting there Chip

1.5 walls done, 1 with final (2 coats). 0.5 with hard (first) coat

I'm doing it for the same reasons tbh, I have my gym gear in there and want a cleaner, lighter and more pleasant environment

You could get the floor vinyled(2mm safety floor) and if you was to cove it,you wouldn't have any probs with water/oil getting under it.

How would that react to a trolley jack on it?

I reckon it would be ok,to be safe you might be best using a 2.5mm altro vinyl.the other thing is you will have to screed your floor.

Mine is coming on. Just had the remaining 2 walls plastered (not sure why the developer only did 1?!) and ready for the floor to go down. I'm using 7mm thick Ecotile flooring. Looking like £1200 installed in the pattern I want.

Next up will be wall storage for bikes etc and some cabinets / benches and a few pics on the walls.

Nice sized garage there mate! Have a look at the B&Q cheapy kitchen cabinets like I have used. At £30 odd for a 1000mm wall cupboard it's pretty cheap, then you can make it look fancy with whatever doors you want.

I was so tempted by the ecotile floor! Especially with the patterns you can make, was going to do a cool black and gold JPS style with a chequered flag effect at the front of the garage door... just couldn't afford it

Getting garage envy here, my shed come garage needs a new roof (this weekend hopefully) to stop everything in there getting drenched. We're moving later this year, garage is right at the top of the shopping list!

Altro is ok , depending on the product you chose from them, there is wide range .
Altro mondo page is crap , it's rubber studded tile , and invariably stretches when subjectect to loads , urn sticks and lands up with big bubbles .
Walkway sheet is ok and nice and slip resistant and fairly durable
Altro resin is pretty bomb proof if laid properly it's a 2 pack epoxy , it's strong and durable, but needs to be laid by some one who know what there doing , there are a few other industrial epox floors around as well, the alto needs to be sealed as well, other wise it holds dirt and soon Loses it's colour but remains effective.

Your obviously in the flooring game?it was the walkway I was referring too,it's pretty heavy duty compared to most other vinyls on the roll.
