Default Need Some Help Suggestions

Okay guys (and gals). I have spent the past hour doing a Search but dang if I can find the thread that I know I saw a few months ago, so now I need help and pics! If anone remembers the thread and wants to link it that works too as I also can't stand the same thing ask/posted over and over.

We decided last night that we are going to convert our attached garage on our home to a combo Harley garage and HD themed Bar/play ground for us and our friends. We have never used the garage in 15 years for our cars anyway only the Harleys and tools and storage & such. We will still park the Harley in there and keep my rolling toolbox out in the open. All my other tools and junk will go into the attached "work room" that has 2 sets of double doors leading into it so it will be easy to hide and use what is placed in there. The garage itself is a tad oversized at 28'x28'. We are thinking of painting the floor orange with 3" black trim and the glossing it over with clear and having a large HD Bar and Shield logo hand painted on one wall. We already have a full size refrig and a commercial ice maker in there. In addition the garage itself is already fully finished with drywall (sheetroock) walls and fully painted and has a finished ceiling.

What I'd like (and beg of you...LOL ) is pics of your garages done similar and ideas!

found a couple of old threads...Maybe this is what you are looking for

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...vice-area.html

This one is not a thread, but it does highlight some pretty cool garages

Hope these help

Also, if you are painting the floor, make sure you toss some fine sand down to keep it from being slippery when you move the scoot around. I didn't do that when I put down the Epoxy, so I ended up using plastic tiles on top and they work great.. Here is mine.

Thanks for the links. The first one was dead though. Some nice looking stuff in those, yet still there is one poster who posted his garage along the lines of what I want but I didn't see it in these. Can't remember his screen name for the life of me. Thanks again for the links.
