A Mercedes Petronas-Inspired Epoxy Resin Garage Flooring Project
Garages are no longer just places to park cars—they’re becoming extensions of the home, luxury showrooms, and spaces that reflect personal style. Recently, we transformed a 56m² double garage into something truly spectacular using a custom-designed epoxy floor resin system.
The design was inspired by the iconic Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team colors, blending high-performance aesthetics with the durability of resinous flooring. Add in a striking hexagon LED lighting grid, and the finished space became nothing short of breathtaking.
This project highlighted why epoxy resin garage flooring has become one of the most popular choices for both residential and specialist garage environments: it’s durable, easy to clean, stylish, and fully customizable.
Why Epoxy Flooring?
When it comes to flooring solutions for garages, few options can compete with the benefits of epoxy flooring. A well-installed resin garage floor not only looks impressive but also provides a waterproof coating, chemical resistance, and a long-lasting surface that stands up to the demands of everyday use.
Durability: Withstands heavy vehicles, tools, and equipment without cracking or wearing down.
Easy maintenance: Seamless surfaces mean dirt, oil, and dust can be cleaned quickly.
Design flexibility: Whether you want a sleek, single-color finish or a metallic epoxy floor with flowing patterns, epoxy offers endless possibilities.
Waterproofing: A properly applied floor epoxy resin acts as a complete waterproof coating, protecting the concrete beneath.
For this client, aesthetics were just as important as performance. They wanted something bold, unique, and instantly eye-catching—hence the Mercedes Petronas theme.
Designing the Resin Epoxy Flooring
Before we began installation, we created two sample boards to experiment with different epoxy floor resin blends. The colours had to capture the essence of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team: sleek greys, blacks, and that unmistakable teal-green accent.

This stage is vital for any resin epoxy flooring project. Samples allow clients to see how colors interact in real resin form. It ensures the finished result matches their vision and confirms the balance between subtlety and vibrancy.
Preparing the Concrete for Epoxy
No matter how beautiful the design, epoxy resin for garages only performs at its best when the surface preparation is flawless.
We began by grinding the entire garage slab to remove surface laitance, open the pores, and create the perfect profile for the epoxy to bond. This step is critical: poor preparation can lead to peeling or delamination.
Once the grinding was complete, we vacuumed away the dust and repaired any minor imperfections in the slab. This left us with a clean, level surface—ready for the resin transformation.
Installing the Metallic Epoxy Floor
The star of this project was the metallic epoxy floor finish. Unlike standard residential epoxy flooring, a metallic system creates a marbled, three-dimensional effect that looks like liquid metal or flowing water.
Here’s how we achieved it:
Base Coat: We started with a solid grey epoxy floor base, giving the floor depth and consistency.
Metallic Pour: While the base was still workable, we added flowing ribbons of Petronas teal, bright whites, and darker greys. These pigments blended organically, creating swirling effects across the garage.
Manipulation: Using specialist tools and techniques, we guided the resin into fluid patterns. No two sections were the same—the beauty of a metallic epoxy floor is that it’s always one-of-a-kind.
Topcoat: Finally, we applied a high-gloss waterproof coating, which enhanced the shine and protected the design from scratches, oil, and tire marks.
The Lighting Effect
One of the most striking features of this garage was the hexagon LED ceiling grid. Once the epoxy resin garage flooring was complete, the reflective gloss finish turned the ceiling into part of the design.
The lights reflected onto the surface in perfect clarity, creating a geometric overlay that seemed to stretch across both the ceiling and the floor. The combination of resin floors and bold lighting gave the space a futuristic, high-performance atmosphere—perfect for any motorsport enthusiast.
Benefits of Resinous Flooring in Garages
This project was a showcase of how epoxy for garages can elevate a space, but the practical benefits are just as impressive:
Seamless & Hygienic: Unlike tiles, resin floors have no grout lines, making them easier to clean and resistant to dirt buildup.
Strength: A resin garage floor can handle the weight of vehicles without cracking.
Chemical Resistance: Perfect for car enthusiasts—oil, brake fluid, and cleaning products won’t damage the finish.
Waterproof Protection: The floor epoxy resin acts as a complete barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into the concrete.
Customization: From subtle tones to bold metallic swirls, every epoxy floor resin system can be tailored to personal style.
Residential Epoxy Flooring: Beyond Garages
While this project focused on a double garage, residential epoxy flooring has a much wider appeal. Increasingly, homeowners are turning to epoxy flooring for:
Home gyms (durable, non-slip, and easy to clean).
Basements (moisture-resistant thanks to the waterproof coating).
Kitchens and living areas (stylish, glossy finishes that rival high-end stone).
The versatility of epoxy resin for garages makes it just as practical in living spaces, with a finish that balances performance and style.
Client Reaction
When the project was complete, the client was blown away. What started as a standard concrete garage had been completely transformed into a luxury resin garage floor that reflected their love of motorsport.
The epoxy resin flooring not only matched the Petronas racing colors perfectly but also elevated the garage into a showroom-quality space. With the hexagon LED lights amplifying the effect, the finished floor was unlike anything they had imagined.
Final Thoughts
This project demonstrated everything we love about working with epoxy floor resin. From the meticulous preparation to the flowing artistry of the metallic pour, every stage was about precision and creativity.
By combining resinous flooring with custom color design and cutting-edge lighting, we delivered a garage that looked like it belonged in a Formula One paddock. More than just a storage space, it’s now a high-performance environment built to last.
For homeowners considering epoxy resin for garages or residential epoxy flooring, this project is proof that a garage floor doesn’t just have to be functional—it can be extraordinary.
