Oh, wow. I just read this whole thread beginning to end. I don't know much about you Jabba, but I can tell you've got sensational taste.
Someone mentioned carpeting the garage earlier, but it seems a little...odd. That is, unless you put polished diamond plate steel under the cars. But a friend of mine has 70's shag in her bike garage, and even her new CBR gets road grit and little flecks of oil on it, and it's just gross.
What about polished concrete or epoxy? They're shiny and reflective, so if you use focused halogen spots on the cars, the floors will reflect the colour of the paint --- especially if it's epoxy on white marine paint. A glossy white floor with red and yellow cars...
Sorry if I'm getting nosy...I've just always wanted the perfect dream garage, with big rolling tool chests and glass-smooth floors, bright lights, a nice stereo, a beer fridge...I'd never leave. This way, I can live vicariously through you.
Keep up the work Jabba. I'm not the only one who's jealous, I'm sure.

Far from it...keep the ideas coming...only one side of the garage floor is currently oxide red...and none of the builders are too sure as to what would be the best surface to roll cars onto except for the current concrete base that is there at the moment....
Maybe you could give me some websites for the ideas you are suggesting and it would be a big help if I can get hold of everything or simlar in the UK.
Thanks
Jabba

That is a damn good idea about the floors being polished. Perhaps you could visit a Lambo/Ferrari dealer or two and see what they have used for flooring. If you like it, ask who the fitters were and go from there.
I will have a little dig about later today........

if you're looking for suggestions (and that's IF you are) i'd suggest rubber tread. i always fantasized about there being a such thing as rubber roads, where traction were at its maximum, wouldn't it be cool to have a rubber-floor garage? where the tires just sing into the rubber when not in use and everything's all, GRIPPY.
or am i just thinking of my own weird dream garage ops:

I like the tiles....the epoxy flooring is good if you are actually working on the cars e.t.c the tiles are more show room style.
Those are good links!

I think brembo nailed it with the badges. That would be very very cool. In altezza's second link you see in the Volvo showroom it's also possible to have badges printed (apparently) on the tiles if a mosaic is not possible.

my family owns a winery here in Australia (i'm sure beaver has given some a little test at some stage?), if you want to fill that wine rack up, im sure we could organise a nice mix.
