Few pics of my setup.....

Not exactly a dream garage...but hey....its my first. First things first: I live in NJ....so winters suck. I still enjoy wrenching on my cars in December...so a large gas heater was a must. I went with a Reznor unit and this thing PUMPS!Second, we took down the floors about 1-1.5 inches and then hand laid a new cement floor. It was then epoxied using an industrial grade epoxy. I had them go up the walls 5 inches as well as put a slight angle on the floor, so water would flow toward the driveway (incase I want to wash a car in the garage).
We then painted the whole garage. Light grey sides, white ceiling, and a burnt orange stripe.
Lighting: I HATE dark garages. So we decided to enlist the help of not one but eight fluorescent light (each one is 8 feet long!). Only when buried under the hood of a car is a flashlight needed.
These pics are outdated....but the garage now sports a Lista tool bench and Griots garage shelves/storage.










Before the new shelving arrived:



Key rack:



And no garage is complete without one of these:

Man, that's a great setup! I like the color scheme... maybe you should match the stripe to the Cayman!

Very cool arrangement - washing the car in the garage is a great idea... If you do wash it in there this winter, post some pics.

Wow that is an amazing garage, I really do like it for its simplicity and organization. Is that an amp that you had customised as a key hanger ?

Get a Martini stripe on the Cayman, thank you for sharing. The Audi TT is tastefully modified.

Sweet setup. Thanks for sharing your considerations wich you put into the garage as well, that really completes the pics. Nice cars!
