A things worth mentioning:
I was concerned about hot tire pick up before I installed the foam mats. I dealt with it by leaving the areas on the floor where my wife’s car sits bare. The mats sometimes buckle when she turns on them but they are repositioned just as quickly.
when I need to jack up a car, paint, etc. in the garage I either temporarily remove the mats in my work area or cover them with painters plastic.
Looks like the previous owner of my current home used the same stuff I did from Home Depot. I don’t know how long ago but none of it was peeling before I installed the foam mats and I don’t see any hot tire spots on the exposed part (it get really hot where I am, it was over 90 everyday last summer.
that stuff from Home Depot came on a box big enough for two one gallon containers but it only came with one gallon of material and I didn’t mix it with anything, just popped the top mixed what was in the can and rolled it on.
Finally if you go the Home Depot route, verify the colors are the same should you buy more than one gallon. They had one of each shade of gray when I went so I bought both and mixed them before use (I didn’t want to run out to another Home Depot for matching paint).
