Cars won't be worked on in there, they're pretty much in brand new condition so shouldn't need any tinkering etc, and I won't be servicing myself.

Thinking I should scrap the idea of tying in the colour of the cars, and just go with a logo tile for each car at the front, then just one colour through the rest?

Couple of other options - as you can see I'm still trying to hold onto the idea that the colours might work in some shape or form

I'd wait until after you've finished the Everest thread first...

Probably just my age, but if I was doing a decent sized garage with tiles, I'd want to do some pixel art in the pattern.

A couple of space invaders would look excellent

I think seeing the cars contrast against the darker colours is cool and bright floor may change that. You could do something like a yellow perimeter band and black floor tiles. At the end of the day its your garage though.

Very cool car combo also

you'll probably have the floor a lot longer than the cars, i'd avoid colour coding the floor, also I have a black and white check that you've seen on another thread, i've since learned that if you drive in on a wet day you get dirty tyre prints on the white that if you have ocd like me, mean you have to wash the floor as much as the car!

Yes my Dad did point out the cars might not be around as long as the floor, but TBH I really can't see me changing these cars in at least the next 10 years, if ever, so I probably wouldn't mind doing the floor again in 10 years IF it looks really stupid by then.

Washing the floor is a good point, although the Corvette very rarely, if ever, sees rain, and the Focus....well, I won't be getting white and hopefully green/yellow might hide dirt slightly better.

Still, overall, I don't yet know I'm going to do.....
