    garage flooring

    guys need your input real quick. Im going to do my garage floor and am thinking of getting either black and white or all black or black and red squares. walls are going to be white with BMW posters framed and hung around the walls. so help me make the right choice in foor color and desgin. should I do a solid color (black) or go for the checkerd flag with black and red or black and white

    keep in mind the car is red.

    here is a sample of what im talking about:

    .

      I say light gray, to increase natural brightness, and to be able to find fasteners after you drop them.

      But out of the choices, black and white looks the best imo. All black would darken the garage too much.

        Im thinking light gray too right now... and I think it would be easier to keep clean and maintain the look.

                FWIW I'm re-doing mine light gray, easier to spot leaks and such, find things that have fallen. Plus, you can get away with it being a little dirty, doesn't show very much.

                    Yan, dont do it any light color. Gets dirty quick. I made that mistake.I want to change it soon.
                    Looks great when it's clean but a few days later everything shows.

                      a spekled gray with some mettallic flakes in it of some sort. looks great when done up right, especially on treated concrete. only thing bad about it, its slicker than a babys ass when even close to wet.

                        I say our gay Asian home decorator has the right idea here.

                            Do you want to hide stains or have really good light reflection?

                            I'd go with white/light grey because I hate not being able to see.
