updates at the bottom
After many discussions about epoxy floors, I finally went with the Racedeck tiles.  I did this so I could have a pattern instead of a huge expanse of gray. I had a lot of concerns about going with these tiles, mostly rolling capabilities since they have a diamond plate pattern on them. Since all of my tools are on casters, they had to roll around the garage. I was also of course worried about messing them up by scratching/gouging/etc as I moved things around on them. The last concern I had was the fact that I have 3 British cars so of course they will mark their territory and would the various fluids mark the tiles permanently.

Several people told me that these Racedeck tiles were a rich man's showroom floor and not a working man's garage floor. I have to admit I was concerned when all I could find on the net were pictures of Hummer's, Viper's, Vettes, Porches, etc. on these floors. After all we all know they never work on their cars

Wow does it ever look GOOD !!!

Do I think it will hold up ? This is with only 1 weeks experience with it but lets face it, its a garage floor guys, it can't remain pretty forever (can it?). Where I damaged it, it was very minor scuffing and 1 place where I dropped some steel and gouged it a little...barely noticeable from a few feet away, yet a painted floor would have shown the concrete.

I like it and my wife does too, she says its nice to go out and do the laundry in barefeet without having her feet freeze from the concrete and she says the garage feels warmer. I am not sure about that but it makes sense to me since the cold concrete is effectively insulated with a 1/2" of plastic now(that will be a nice benefit in the Winter). Either way, I can tell you that its a delight to work under the car on your back on that far warmer plastic than the cold concrete. And YES the goal of getting the floor all White under the lift, is really noticeable.

As far as my concerns go, well everything rolls around just fine (I should mention that I was told they recently changed the profile of the diamond plate pattern and I have the newer profile). The durability of the tile I think will be fine. And lastly, I can't tell yet about the various fluids they will encounter but I am not concerened about any permanent discoloration, come back in a year and  I will let you know.

Have I mentioned they look GOOD yet ?

The required "Before" picture.	The required "After" picture.	All the white really helps the light reflect back under the lift.
The 4AD is back home and looking GOOD	I like it !	The scooter looks GOOD on checkered flag.
You can see the boxes next to the saw that will tile the back room (that you see the entrance to).	I still have not cleaned the workbench but its looking good.	Will the kickstand mess up the floor? After 5 weeks, the answer is NO

Ok, so I did have one problem...I moved my table saw into the garage on Sunday and by Tuesday, I had a dimple in the floor. I didn't know how to remove the tile from the middle of the floor so I sent off a e-mail. This caused some communications problems which I admit now were caused by me sending e-mail rather than calling Racedeck. I have come to the conclusion that I either had one bad tile or it was due to the unlucky placement of the saw since only one caster caused a problem, not the other 3 casters. This caused me a great deal of concern for my tool chest and even my motorcycle kickstand which I mentioned here. Well after a week, the bike has not caused a problem and neither has the tool chest.  And even the tile that had been crushed had "self-healed" itself if that is possible. The tile had been crushed 1/4" to 3/8" of an inch and was clearly visible after 5 days the dimple can't be more than 1/16" of an inch and most people would not notice it

UPDATE

Almost 2 years now and I love this floor, its been gouged and the worst is melted a few times during some welding but it looks GREAT and you have to look for the damage, no one ever sees it unless I point it out. I have had heavy (I mean really heavy) equipment dimple it a few times and it pops back on the next warm day. In the winter, its awesome, I can tell the difference in the garage. Normally my feet or my back would get cold and granted with the lift I am not on my back often, it is much warmer. I like it, I consider one of the best things I did to my shop, it makes going out there and working even more fun than it was before.
