Default Getting a garage...Question

Looks like I'm finally going to be getting the garage I've been wanting for 15 years!! Now the Stang and Galaxie will get the home they deserve. I plan on sealing the floor with the UCoat It epoxy system and adding some color flecks to make it look classy. However, I would like togive ita little personal touch and add one or two vinyl decals to the floor...was thinking about the blue oval on one side and the galloping Mustang on the other. Does anyone here know of a reputable shop that could make these. There are a ton of companies on the net that make vinyl decals, but I wanted to check with you guys and see if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks!

I'd be worried the decals would be slippery, do you put a traction coat of some kind on top of these?

Let us know how the UCoat It system works. I plan to do that this spring myself. Are you planning to put the decal under a layer of clear coat? If so, I think it would be pretty easy to find on the web...anything on top of the UCoat It might chip or peel.

you should be able to go to a sign shop in your area and get one made for a decent price. my neighbors have a huge shop for their land clearing business and they have their comapny logo in the middle of their floor that is about 8ft diameter. i dont know about the slickness and durability of it though. you might be able to spray a clear coat of some sort over it. or you could look into having it painted on the floor.

I think UCoat IT offers a clear coat, but I think it's extra cash on top of the kit.
