Default Just finished my garage in Race deck tiles like my show mat

i just finished tiling my garage floor with those same tiles I use for my cars at shows. The guy who owned the local franchise down here and sponsored me for my mat closed his business due to lack of revenue and low margins. Due to some other personal issues going on in his life he didnt have a house to store them at and was storing them at an old neighbors house on the side for a little while. After people would occasionally pick through what he had left it ended up being a mess on the side of this persons house of tiles all over and the tiles got pretty dirty from the rain and stuff.

He offered to me that if I went and picked them all up and cleaned them up I could have whatever I want to do my garage if I just try to sell off what is left over. As you can see from the stacks in the pictures I still have a LOT left over for sale. Normally these things sell for $5-$7 a square ft tile, right now I'm selling them for $2 a square tile or $1 a square tile for the gray diamond plate tiles that I could not get completely clean. I power washed all the tiles so they're basically all clean now except about 293 gray ones that had grease stains. I didn't try using any detergent on the tiles so maybe they will come more clean but I had already spent 9 hours of my Sunday last weekend cleaning these things and didnt want to work on them anymore.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a little or a lot let me know we can work something out. I will have a list posted up tonight probably of all the tiles I have left. Just as a heads up though I have a whole bunch of yellow diamond plate, purple diamond plate, and white glossy at this point.

Lakers fan? Looks good, anyway! If I hadn't just epoxied my garages, I'd be all over that deal. I'm sure you won't have a problem off-loading it...//TJ

I'm not a lakers fan, not a sports fan at all for that matter. I just tried to create the best pattern I could that my girlfriend and I could bot h agree on with the tiles we had available.

If you go to racedeck.com they have a thing you can click on which allows you to create a pattern on the website and tells you how many tiles it would use, what color of each tile, and what style so you can order them or for me it was to design it and make sure I had enough tiles and then lay them down following the pattern instead of guessing.

Will ya go $300 for 400 sq ft? I would be willing to take the 293 gray with another 107 of your choice.
