Nice job. I recently purchased a new house. All my previous homes were older resales. At 80 years old I have the garage of my dreams. Two car garage, with my VW GTI smack in the middle 😂. Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴
Congratulations on the new house. Ive done this my self about 5 times i normally used extra chips. But I would highly recommend the clear coat it makes it much nicer and stronger.
I have friends who did the clear coat. I couldn’t see spending $100 a gallon tho. But my dad never clear coated his. And 9 years later it still looks good. So I just don’t see the value. It does look really nice with the extra shine. But I can always do that later after a quick cleaning.
@@xxsekoxx Still looks new! Few scratches and scuff marks from working on the cars doing all of the projects we do. But we cleaned the floor nicely the other weekend and it is still looking great
I never thought about washing walls! All of my items came out of storage saturated in mold. The movers had to store everything in the garage. Now that I've dumped the majority of my belongings, it still carries an odor. I'm definitely going to wash the walls before I paint the garage this week. Yours came out really, really nice!
Yeah a little bit of Dawn dish soap and water did a lot! Previous owner smoked in the garage and it was awful smelling. Cleaning the walls and ceiling completely took it away! And then sealing all the drywall before paint kept it away. Two years later garage still smells fresh
@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm glad you're still enjoying your space! All of your hard work has really paid off. Thanks for the great tips. You should be proud 🙌🏾😊
@@NYCAppl3 thanks! Yeah it’s been a good space for the meantime. I’ve added some nice cabinets and more tools. So I’ve done a lot in the garage so far!
Actually no. To properly clean the concrete, we needed to hose out the floor like 5 times. With water and the TSP. A lot of it gets on the walls too. I'd hate to ruin a newly painted wall. Also paint that did drip onto the floor, wipes right off the epoxy. It would have taken even more work to clean the concrete if there was paint on it. Also, I needed the floor done to park the cars in the garage and keep the bike at my house while working on everything else.
@@SkoolConnor It worked better to epoxy the floor first. Paint cleans off it easier then concrete and I needed to be able to put things on the floor each night as I painted the walls each day
Like I mentioned. Paint wipes right off the epoxy floor. I'd have to scrape it off the concrete. Also, the concrete was so gross, I did not want to be walking all over that for 4 days while painting the walls. Floor epoxy was done in 1 day. Rather walk on a clean floor for this work. And I needed the floor done so I could move the cars and bike inside the garage.
Yeah we did 2 scrubbings with TSP and then 2 with etching. Not to mention about 4 scrubbing with just water to get crap off. And scraped the floors too to get the black marks out. Crazy job lol
I would invert the order of my worksteps, starting with the ceiling, followed by the walls and the last step will be the floor. So you don't need to cover the new floor coating
Well the floor was so nasty, I didn't want to walk on it. The previous owner used it as his bar/hangout room. Smelled like smoke and who knows what was all over the floor. With the epoxy floor, all paint drips cleaned up so easy too. Bare concrete wouldn't have let me wipe paint off. Plus I wanted to be able to park the cars in the garage. So it all depends on what you need to use your garage for while you do this. But it worked perfectly fine doing the floor first. I spent so much time painting and cleaning the ceiling and walls. That would have been awful walking on the disgusting floor while doing it.
Congrats on the new house Brian! The garage looks fantastic. I especially like the floor, very cool. Good job all the way around. That work bench is going to get well used, I bet. Such a deal. And love the finishing touch….the GTR flag! Here’s to many great years in your new abode. 👍
Congratulations on your new home my guy you deserve it👏🏽💪🏽💯 Hard work dedication, your truly the definition of do it yourself and never give up💯 I’m proud of you guys keep winning 🥇
wouldn't it make sense to get the walls and the ceiling done before you do the floor on an off chance you spilled something or dropped something onto it?
You can do it either way. The good thing with epoxy is that anything you spill comes right off. I was moving in and needed the floors done to cure so I could park and put things in the garage. But you can spill oil on epoxy and it wipes right off! Beauty of epoxy floors and why I did it!
Still good! My dad did this on every house he’s lived in, current house is going on 11 years and just starting to show some wear! So it’s well worth it.
Still looking good and working perfectly! I've added a lot to the garage since this. Check out some of my latest modification videos of the cars and you'll see the new cabinets and things
We have the flag now ;) I've changed it up quite a bit now with new cars in the garage and cabinets. Some of our later install videos you can see the updates
I just used the epoxy on the concert that goes up to the drywall. Didn't put anything else in between the actually drywall. Not something I thought about.
You can do it either way, I did the floors first so they had time to cure before I moved in, that way I didn’t have to empty out the garage. It really doesn’t matter which is fine first though. If you do the floor first and spill paint on it, it’s so easy to clean right up which is a plus!
You could do that for sure. I was moving in and had a deadline so I needed the floor done and cured to park on and move into. And with the epoxy floor, paint would wipe off clean compared to the bare concrete. So it can be done first easily. Plus these floors were so disgusting, I was not going to walk on them. Previous owners trashed them and used the garage as a bar. It smelled horrible and was all greasy and dirty
Looks great, what’d this cost out of curiosity? How has the floor held up? Seems to have mixed reviews. I actually refinished my kitchen cabinets with Rustoleum. Still strong 8 years later
Thanks! Walls and floor was maybe $300. I had leftover paint from the whole inside of the house, so hard to calculate that. Still all looks perfect! My dad did their garage the same way and 10 years later, his floor is only now starting to fade a bit
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks for your reply. Mine has the same white lines, but they are thinner. I believe it was mudded but only at level 1 or 2, not sure. I wonder whether it will work if I put paint on top of it. Please let me know if you think it’s a bad idea.
@@PeterSchneemann when you apply a level 1 and then pant that tape will most likely peel ruining the paint job because it’s on there thin. Adding the mudd will secure it all and allow paint to look good
Still looks the same! Check out some of my later install videos on my Supra. You can see the floor. My dad did this same kit on his floors 10 years ago. Starting to show some wear on his now tho
Yeah 1 gallon of PVA. It just barley made it on all the walls and ceiling. Then just 1 gallons of paint and 1 gallon of ceiling paint. I had leftover paint from the inside of the house, so I don't know exactly how much I used on the walls. But 1-2 should do it
Hi. I am looking into finishing my garage as well. Thanks for this video. Out of curiosity, did you have to seal any cracks in the concrete before painting the floor with the epoxy paint? I see some in my garage and have thought of repairing before doing anything else.
The one crack in my floor was already sealed. If they are small hairline ones I wouldn't worry about it too much. But if there are bigger ones I'd go ahead and do that first.
Will it get slick in the winter? I have considered stuff like this, but some of the ones I have looked at turn into skating rinks when snow melts on them… Interested to hear your future reviews on it…
Not really. For us, it might snow 1 day a year. So that's not a concern. Even with rain tho it doesnt really get slippery. The paint chips add some texture. But there is a texture additive available if you need extra grip for snowy climates
I’d do the floor first. It needs time to cure and I needed that done so I could park inside. Beauty of epoxy is that anything wipes clean off it. Paint, oil, anything, just comes right off.
The floor was more important to start because it needs curing time before I could park on it! So that was time sensitive, the walls didn’t matter as much.
Floors were more important because it takes 4-5 days for it to cure, so that was more time sensitive and needed to be done first so I could park inside and then do walls. Also it's easier to clean wall paint off the epoxied floor than bare concrete. And the concrete was absolutely disgusting and smelled awful from the gross previous owner. I couldn't stand the smell of smoke, dirt, fertilizer and other garbage that covered the floor.
I needed to do the floors first so that when I moved in they were cured and ready for things to be placed on it. Spray gun would be cool , I used an air powered roller for the inside. But I wasnt going to buy a spray gun to do the walls
But with the epoxy floor, that wouldn’t matter, it’ll clean right up and actually clean up better than the bare floor. Also I was just moving in, so doing to floor first meant I had time to let it cure and then move items in and only do that once. Didn’t make sense to move in and then have no where to put garage items while I did the floor! There’s a method to the process! And the floor was absolutely disgusting. I was not going to walk on it. Previous owners were gross and the concrete and dirt and other crap all over it. Much nicer to work on a clean floor. Paint literally wipes off this new floor
Looks like a dope house with all the completed work done but sorry you had to go through that much because the last owners were so nasty and trifling. That's why if and when my time comes for me to get a house, I'll make sure it'll be in move in condition. First time I've seen that Lexus, is that a new addition to the car collection?
Yeah it was crazy the amount of work we did! Every wall in the house had holes and marks. They ripped 5 TV wall mounts out of the walls too. So I patched probably 1k holes and then we painted the whole thing. 18 gallons later lol. But it came together well! This is a crazy market so we took the bit of damage to get a nice lout and good size house. Lexus is Laurens car. I filmed like 1 or two vids on it in the past. Heres one you might like. th-cam.com/video/Ds6RnM4vPy0/w-d-xo.html
Yeah this market is quite crazy to say the least. I lived in a house with constant problems for 19 years so I know where you're coming from. Oh my bad! So many cars on this channel I forgot all about the videos on that car haha 😄
Yeah we'll probably be in this maybe 5-8 years until we build something. So it's a good start! Lexus will be getting sold once the Z finally arrives lol
@@kbw.rvwhntr Unfortunately I need to teach her to drive stick. So until she’s comfortable with that alone, the GTR will be her go to car. But we have a Lexus replacement in mind not too long after 😅😅
The floor was so nasty, I didn't want to walk on it longer than I had too. It was caked with filth. Plus I needed to be able to park my cars in there so got the floor done first so I could put stuff in there. Plus the paint that did drip on to the fresh floor wiped off so easy. Would have had to scrape it off the bare concrete rather then just use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Floor stunk too since the previous owner smoked in the garage. No way was I smelling that garbage for hours on end painting the walls.
Because nobody has made a manual car the last few years I wanted to buy lol. My brother has a manual Audi R8. And I have the new Nissan Z on order which will be a manual. So another one is coming soon!
I'm biased since I'm buying the new Z lol. Type R is a great car tho, probably the best FWD car out there. But I'm very excited for the new Z! Going to be so fun!
Oh yeah! We were up at 6 every morning and went to bed around midnight for 2 weeks straight. I didn't film anything aside from clips for this video during the first two weeks here lol
lol I just went from renting to owing a home. Now I have a very nice selection of tools. But I started with the basic hand tools when I was younger. Sorry my tool collection didn't start out with the most expensive tools. Even with the basics I always was able to maintain my cars and modify them pretty extensively.
Is that what you experienced with your floor? My dads going on 12 years with his floor and has done multiple houses with it. Not sure where you get that idea from.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes, i've also done multiple homes with this "out of the box" epoxy, issue is if you park your car in the garage the hot tires or the salt will wear it off very fast, and I've done all the recommended prep - currently I've done actual commercial epoxy which is holding much much better than this product.
@@rickats I don’t live where there’s salt, so that could be the problem you are having. Like I said, my dads current floor is 12 years old and looks just as good as the day it went on. I’d recommend this product. One year on my floor it still looks brand new. Maybe you didn’t prep it correctly. Hot tires shouldn’t peal a good epoxy coating. All in the prep work

Still looks the same! Check out some of my later install videos on my Supra. You can see the floor. My dad did this same kit on his floors 10 years ago. Starting to show some wear on his now tho
Great stuff. What did you do for baseboard and sidings?
I didn't do baseboards or siding? I epoxied the concrete barrier of the garage floor as shown in the video. And painted all the walls
How much paint did you use? Only one bucket of PVA?
Yeah 1 gallon of PVA. It just barley made it on all the walls and ceiling. Then just 1 gallons of paint and 1 gallon of ceiling paint. I had leftover paint from the inside of the house, so I don't know exactly how much I used on the walls. But 1-2 should do it
How did you hang the banner on the wall?
Like I showed in the video, just hammered in two nails. Slight angle upwards so it would never get blow off by a breeze or something
It’s insane what paint and epoxy does to a normal garage.
Oh I know! It's so nice and clean now. Really takes it from just a garage, to a nice place to be and work in

No sanding at all!!! Epoxy holds up very well! My dads going on 9 years on his floors and they are just starting to show some wear!
Great job guys. Congrats!
Did you use any machine for scrubbing?
Nope! Just all by hand! It came out looking so good!

Floors were more important because it takes 4-5 days for it to cure, so that was more time sensitive and needed to be done first so I could park inside and then do walls. Also it's easier to clean wall paint off the epoxied floor than bare concrete. And the concrete was absolutely disgusting and smelled awful from the gross previous owner. I couldn't stand the smell of smoke, dirt, fertilizer and other garbage that covered the floor.
You could of done the walls first and used a paint spray gun little easier
I needed to do the floors first so that when I moved in they were cured and ready for things to be placed on it. Spray gun would be cool , I used an air powered roller for the inside. But I wasnt going to buy a spray gun to do the walls
So You clean ur garage .🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did a bit more then clean it...
@@BrosFOURRSpeed looks great 👍🏻
When new Z will park there?
@@justadad44 Hopefully by Summer the Z will be here! I think May everything gets unveiled and June orders start
How far are you from your bro?
We're about 30 minutes apart now. Not too bad
Why would you paint the walls after the floor? Painting walls first, you wouldn’t have to worry about paint getting on the floor.
But with the epoxy floor, that wouldn’t matter, it’ll clean right up and actually clean up better than the bare floor.
Also I was just moving in, so doing to floor first meant I had time to let it cure and then move items in and only do that once. Didn’t make sense to move in and then have no where to put garage items while I did the floor! There’s a method to the process! And the floor was absolutely disgusting. I was not going to walk on it. Previous owners were gross and the concrete and dirt and other crap all over it. Much nicer to work on a clean floor. Paint literally wipes off this new floor
ur dirty garage looks better than most peoples garage lol
Lol, it wasn’t very nice at all!!!
Looks like a dope house with all the completed work done but sorry you had to go through that much because the last owners were so nasty and trifling. That's why if and when my time comes for me to get a house, I'll make sure it'll be in move in condition. First time I've seen that Lexus, is that a new addition to the car collection?
Yeah it was crazy the amount of work we did! Every wall in the house had holes and marks. They ripped 5 TV wall mounts out of the walls too. So I patched probably 1k holes and then we painted the whole thing. 18 gallons later lol. But it came together well! This is a crazy market so we took the bit of damage to get a nice lout and good size house. Lexus is Laurens car. I filmed like 1 or two vids on it in the past. Heres one you might like. th-cam.com/video/Ds6RnM4vPy0/w-d-xo.html
Yeah this market is quite crazy to say the least. I lived in a house with constant problems for 19 years so I know where you're coming from. Oh my bad! So many cars on this channel I forgot all about the videos on that car haha 😄
Yeah we'll probably be in this maybe 5-8 years until we build something. So it's a good start! Lexus will be getting sold once the Z finally arrives lol
Oh wow! I bet both of you will be playing a lot of switcheroo between the future Z and the GTR lol.
@@kbw.rvwhntr Unfortunately I need to teach her to drive stick. So until she’s comfortable with that alone, the GTR will be her go to car. But we have a Lexus replacement in mind not too long after 😅😅
shouldnt you have done the ceiling and walls before you did the floor??
The floor was so nasty, I didn't want to walk on it longer than I had too. It was caked with filth. Plus I needed to be able to park my cars in there so got the floor done first so I could put stuff in there. Plus the paint that did drip on to the fresh floor wiped off so easy. Would have had to scrape it off the bare concrete rather then just use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Floor stunk too since the previous owner smoked in the garage. No way was I smelling that garbage for hours on end painting the walls.
Still waiting to see the trashed garage?
The clips I showed in the beginning. And me explaining how trashed it was before we bought the house
why dont u drive manuals again?
Because nobody has made a manual car the last few years I wanted to buy lol. My brother has a manual Audi R8. And I have the new Nissan Z on order which will be a manual. So another one is coming soon!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed what do you think about the new Type R vs the New 400z? Which is better?
I'm biased since I'm buying the new Z lol. Type R is a great car tho, probably the best FWD car out there. But I'm very excited for the new Z! Going to be so fun!
Fastest way to Turning A Trashed Garage into My First Dream Garage. Park a GTR in it lol.
haha that improved it quite a lot! Much better then the gross couch the previous owners had in here
massage time
Oh yeah! We were up at 6 every morning and went to bed around midnight for 2 weeks straight. I didn't film anything aside from clips for this video during the first two weeks here lol
Color code?
Floor is jus the grey out of the box. Walls are Repose Grey from Lowes
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you buddy by the way nice looking GTR 🫡
@@chilangodf46 thanks! Was a fun car!
As a car guy... those are what you have for tools?
lol I just went from renting to owing a home. Now I have a very nice selection of tools. But I started with the basic hand tools when I was younger. Sorry my tool collection didn't start out with the most expensive tools. Even with the basics I always was able to maintain my cars and modify them pretty extensively.
Its "swept", not "sweeped"
lol true
you cut no corners with that sound system bro!
What’s that mean?
If I took a shot for every time you said "actual" or "actually" in this video, I'd be dead before the 13 minutes was up.
How many times?

@@Heymrk cool, thanks for counting
Baller car and garage but budget wash setup 🤷🏻♂️
What do you mean by that?
First
Thanks for checking out the video!
this wont last more than a year
Is that what you experienced with your floor? My dads going on 12 years with his floor and has done multiple houses with it. Not sure where you get that idea from.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes, i've also done multiple homes with this "out of the box" epoxy, issue is if you park your car in the garage the hot tires or the salt will wear it off very fast, and I've done all the recommended prep - currently I've done actual commercial epoxy which is holding much much better than this product.
@@rickats I don’t live where there’s salt, so that could be the problem you are having. Like I said, my dads current floor is 12 years old and looks just as good as the day it went on. I’d recommend this product. One year on my floor it still looks brand new. Maybe you didn’t prep it correctly. Hot tires shouldn’t peal a good epoxy coating. All in the prep work
Kaka, delete.
What?
What paint did you use?
