    Yes, I found someone that could make it for me four foot wide.

    I decided not to go that route due to future resale limitations.
    I didn't want the H-D 100th permanent garage stamp restriction.

    So if I'm not doing the 100th floor stamp...Now what to do for the 100th garage theme?

    For the floor...
    I think I'm going to go with silver/grey metallic base, with white flake, black flake and 5% orange flake.


    For the walls...
    I have eight foot ceilings. I'm using exterior semi gloss four foot up with black then 100th silver/grey to the ceiling.
    The two side walls are stucco. It's a rough surface and I won't be sharp line where the two paint color lines meet.
    My plan is to do a 6 inch diamond plate chair rail at the four foot up mark to cover where the two paint colors meet.



    For the cabinets...
    I looked at Home Depot I found the Husky line of garage cabinets then went to Lowes and looked at the Kobalt line.

    I found out the Kobalt line is new...before that the carried Gladiator line. With a a diamond plate door/drawer pattern.
    I went with the Kobalt line as it looked the best of the bunch and kept with the H-D 100th silver & black color theme.

    Thanks for the heads up...I'm getting it professionally done. It's not a project I want to risk.

    This is a blurb from the website of the folks that are doing it.

    Our Epoxy line is a 100% solids (No fillers) industrial strength, three component coating. Available in a variety
    of colors combinations or single color. The Epoxy line is designed for use on concrete substrates of virtually any
    stable condition including most surface deteriorated surfaces in need of repair.
    Our Epoxy line has a comprehensive and tensile strength of 2 to 3 times that of conventional concrete and they
    can act as a superior protective coating to concrete surfaces such as warehouses, garage floors, parking garages,
    retail stores, and more.

    Key Benefits
    Durable Enough for Commercial Applications
    No VOC's
    Easy maintenance: mop it, wax it, done!
    Increase abrasion resistance
    Can be Applied to New or Existing Concrete
    I'd been thinking about a way to determine distance when pulling in the truck. a curb, tennis ball, laser sensor etc.

    NOTE: If you look at the 1st "clean out the garage" picture you'll see a three foot deep lip the freezer is sitting on.

    I pulled Shamu in (for the first time) and was worried about fitment. The front tire butts up tight against the 3" high lip.
    This lip/stop puts the front of the truck within 3 inches of hitting the front drywall. It's like a curb stop in a parking lot.
    Now to test I unhooked the garage door opener from the garage door & gently & slowly lowered the garage door down.
    To my excitement the garage door came down within three inches of clearance from hitting the bumper. It fits TIGHT!

    Last night I gave Shamu a bath and put her to bed "inside the garage" where she spent the night for the first time ever!

    Shamu garage fitment...

    It's a 20'x20' garage with a three foot front step.

    It is a PERFECT fit!

    I've been wanting to park the truck in the garage for four year and mine just barely fit!

    Painting the walls...
    I'm doing the H-D 100th two-tone colors with black on the bottom & silver/grey on the top.
    It's quite a shock seeing black go on the walls...as they continue to paint it's looking better.









    More painting to do...and add the diamond plate chair rail to cover the seam.

    Next up...the A/C folks are coming to put a close-able A/C vent in the garage.

    I'm getting worried...I know there's gonna be "Now it's my turn" next.

    Garage painting completed...

    It's hard to tell in this pic but (if you click here) you can see the subtle
    difference in the light grey that matches the 100th two-tone colors.

    Yeah, I did spring for the pros to install the epoxy it but sadly (or happily) has turned into a REALLY BIG PROJECT.
    I've spent the last 4 days cleaning! I have had to take two weeks off work and burn up my valuable vacation time.

    Dude that really sucks big time!
    Have you checked out The Garage Journal?
    BTW - Nice job on the walls.

    Next is 6" wide diamond plate as a chair rail and a shut-off A/C vent to air condition the garage.
    Then comes the floor...then comes the cabinets...then comes putting stuff back in the cabinets.

    I'll be glad to go back to work...I need the rest.

    OK, you got me. It matches the 100th bikes with silver on top and black on the bottom.

    Regarding detailing your truck...would you like me to use CQuartz Finest?

    Heck, I don't know.

    I still have all the first stuff that you gave me.

    The review on the CQuartz looks great but looks like it is only sold to professional shops and dealers.

    CQuartz is available as a consumer product. I can get it for you.
    CQuartz Finest is an authorized installer only product. I am an authorized installer.
