Thanks........

It's the Rust-Oleum garage floor paint. We had it black to start out with - looked great, but showed everything & just didn't last, so we went with gray and didn't put those little flakes in it - I almost wished I did, but decided not too. I keep those plastic runners on there because it will come up - it has just a little bit. I think I got it at Lowe's.............

Nice Steel Gray. All the cool kids have Steel Gray X5's.

I also noticed your floor. We have discussed/debated/arm wrestled garage floor epoxy before so I won't bring that aspect of it up again but I will say that I have a sickness. I too used the Rust-Oleum kit on my garage, without the colored flakes thank you very much, and I now find myself sweeping and mopping my garage floor. Who mops their garage floor??? Anyway, the epoxy makes it a breeze to keep clean but mine did pull a little from the rear tires. What is odd is that it happened after I parked the X5 after driving in the rain. Two times it happened and I remember the two times it rained. (It rarely rains where I live.) I'm going to try and touch it up with a regular single step epoxy.

Yup, Steel Gray rocks Kevin, just thought I would let you know that I just pulled out my painted kidney grills and installed a new set of titanium grills. The old ones were getting a little road rash, and I was ready for a fresh new look.

Oh, and I mop my garage floor
