Garage floor mat questions

I’m looking for a floor mat to park on. Doesn’t have to be anything fancy but I would prefer it to look good, maybe even have the kanji or a Suzuki logo on it if some kind.


Anyone got one they like??
 
One of my friends brought me this one last night
lol

I bought one of these and like it.
They are a great company. I have Moto D stands and the rear lets me Roll it around easily. I put their 90* valve stems on all my bikes too. I’ll get red ones this time.

Doubt this would work well with carpet but they are great and the company is owned by racers.
 
Years ago a company I worked for shut down, and among the myriad other things they wound up giving away were these nice interlocking Rubber fatigue mats. I wound up snagging about 8 of them. They clean up readily, but about all I use them for anymore is to put my plastic car ramps on to stop them from sliding on the smooth concrete. I keep thinking I want something fancy on my shop floor but I keep coming back to the fact that at any point in time I have oil, Sawdust, metal shavings, welding slag etc. all over and I can clean concrete easily.
 
I loved the coating that I put on the garage floor at my old house, Rustoleum Rock Solid garage floor.
Much brighter, easier to clean, not dusty like bare concrete, not slippery, but not gritty, still easy to slide or move about working on it.
Oil and chemicals do not harm it, and spills clean up easily.
I have considered putting it on my carport at the house I live in now.
I cleaned the floor with muriatic acid, scrubbed stains with a long handled brush, hosed off, let dry, applied coating, let dry 24 hrs, applied 2nd coat, done.

This looks good and similar to the way I did mine years ago but mine pulled up under the drag car tires. Apparently they keep heat in them long enough to soften the coating and it pull up in spots.
I’ve been thinking or re-doing it but the process is lengthy as it takes so long to dry.

This stuff doesn't come up from hot tires, and it's dry to walk on in as early as 8 hours, and cured in 24.
I know a couple other people who have used it too.
@mabupa did his floor a few years before mine, and gave me the idea.
He also has rubber matts that his bike and car tires roll on.
As far as I know, his floor is still as good as new.

I think it has been 7 or 8 years for me and going strong with more abuse than I care to admit and this picture I took just now shows how good it looks still. Sister bought a new house and I made her buy a kit so I could do her garage before they even moved in the house.
