Oh man, cool thread - I've been thinking a lot about redoing the garage with really compact and sturdy shelving to make more room, and also epoxy ALLTHETHINGS cause I somehow manage to spill a few drops URRY TIME I change the oil or anything else.
Not sure if I'm cool with spending 350 for teh stuff tho

The bender is a JD Squared model 3...

Bends up to 2" round. Dies are pricey, but there's nothing else out there cheaper in a mandrel bender.
The cart uses an HF air/hydraulic ram to power the bender, and it bends in the vertical plane, so it doesn't have to be anchored. The cart is also designed to support an HF tubing roller (which I haven't got around to buying yet).
Plans on ebay or here: DBT bender cart plans
Works great, I used it to fab a bunch of stuff on my Bronco so far, and it will be essential when I get around to caging my NA. I think I'm all in around $700 with one set of dies (1 3/4"), the hydraulic ram and all the materials for the cart. Dies are ~$125-200 depending on size. It will also bend square tube.

Here is a good quality epoxy. $150 for 220 square feet for epoxy alone.
Here is primer at $120 per 300 square feet.
Here is clear coat at $150 for 400 square feet.
Here is a kit made to do 600 square feet, once you add in primer and clear coat and options it is over $700.

Primer and clear coat isn't needed. Though, i did use a primer when we did the floor at my last job. I probably should have done it at home, but it was my first time around and there was a few things i would have done better. I may have even done a clear coat, 2 years in it looks good, it is just dull. At the same time i beat the hell out of the floor, so i'm sure clear would just make scratches show up even more.
I do agree though, all the prep work is what adds up.
