My racedeck free flow sample arrived yesterday. I want it! 
Maybe if I ask for 179 more quotes and get free samples each time, I'll have a free garage floor....
They included a DVD with their demo infomercial thing, but also a full episode of hometime that includes many other nice garage products. I like those horizontal sliding tool hangers, I saw those on this old house as well. I can keep dreaming!

There are a number of hobby shops around Chicago, including one I have used called Al's Hobby Shop in Elmhurst at 121 Addison Avenue.

I am not sure if this will fit your needs or not but model airplane hobby shops (and the Tower Hobbies web site) sell checkered trim sheets for models. I think they are about 5" wide by about 36" long and cost about $2 or $3 each.

I think I hit the motherload . These people have an entire website of checkered stuff 
.
MiniMaybee, love the shot of the floor. I'm leaning toward the charcoal base, but can't decide on the chip colors. Too many choices!

On a more serious note (not totally) this is a trashcan cover that would probably be a cool way to cover up a stack of wheels if you needed to.
They also sell corrugated cardboard in rolls of 4' by 25', kind of a fun way to do a temporary "wainscotting" in your garage. You could put it up with staples or tape for fun.

~$1800 with shipping, 16ft of edging, extra tiles and their acupark.
Accupark is cool:

You can save almost $1/sqft by going direct to racedeck.

You guys are making me so jealous. I made my garage into a TV room for my kids years ago (I'll never do that again)
Anyway, someone posted this on Sunshine Minis, I thought you all might get a kick out of it.

Couple of questions:
1 - Is is really 22*22 or 21.5 * 21.5...it can make a 1 tile differenct.
I ended up with 26 extra tiles.
2 - I would also measure from your garage door track to the back of the garage...can potentially save you some.
3 - Did you price direct from RaceDeck? Much cheaper.

I got this tape for my lift. Came in a huge roll. Different widths available. Was pretty cheap. Unfortunately it was a couple years ago and I can't remember the place. They sold all things industrial, trash cans, storage, safety equipment and hundreds of tapes and flagging.
I found them with a google search and they sent a HUGE catalog.

Maybe it was the ULine catalog. They've got the checkerboard tape .
