Default Garage Tidy Up Thread

its been 3 years since the garage was last painted so decided time to tart the place back up again

forgot to do a before picture, but this is a pcture from last month, you can see the floor has flaked in areas etc



got the garage empty and started to scrape/sweep/clean the floor









and in true painting party style, we painted the area with out turning the radio of.....







thats how it looks now, plan for tomorrow is another coat of floor paint, which is a mix and match of 4 different greys, as they were all free or ones left over from other jobs.

then move everything over and tidy the other side.

after seeing pictures ot 'Car Homes' i want to tidy up, but as pretty as they are you can work in them with out messing them up.

anyway, will update as i do more

Looks greant now Andy. Would LOVE to have that much space to work on cars, I'd be in trouble with the amount of "projects" I'd end up with lol

love the fuel marks on the wall you can spot where an RS has marked its territory

My car is guilty of some of those!

2nd coat went down yesterday afternoon. it's dry enough to walk on today so Thursday the other 1/3rd gets a lick of paint.
