nice floor
 

i wish my garage floor looked like that , what is that

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.............

I love the gray..... looks excellent! :thumbup:

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

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??? :tsk: 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 :thumbup: 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 :D

The wet tires do make it come up after it sits there overnight.......I hate that, so I put those runners down..........I mop mine about once/year............Thanks for the comments guys.......

very nice, now you need to get some 20s!!!

SG, You're doing a good job at mopping the garage floor! Very nice.

definitely........
 

That's my next step after Winter......In Feb. or March, I will get the OEM Style 87's. The dealer already told me I get 10% off - That's $400 off right there.........can't wait for them.......

Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not totally OCD.

I can't believe your grilles were getting that bad. I got mine not too long after you did and mine are holding up pretty well. I've gotten several rock chips on the outer surround part but the inner slats have been good. I have 49K mostly freeway miles on my X5 too. If I recall correctly, you only painted the chrome part, right? I did both parts of the grilles. Anyway, I guess I have a unique look now.
