Tony Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 As some know the floor situation has held us back for a week or so with rep's not showing up time and time again so with the help of Jammy we decided to get this done.... First mission was to make good the boarders by removing messy cement.... Additionally sweep through and get rid of last summers flies before after Next stage was to lay acid on the cement, this roughs up the smooth floor so the paint can bond.... Here's Jammy hard at work.... I would have helped but i was busy taking photographs After the acid had done it's work and dried the whole area needed to be washed and scrubbed to remove the etched cement.... Sadly we only had the one broom so Jammy did the work whilst i took the photo's again It has a few days to dry then it's paint time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 What colour? I like blue myself and it would go well with WIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 What colour? I like blue myself and it would go well with WIM We have two zones so the color was split... Zone 1. Mechanical/ tyres will be Orange flame.... I'm not overly keen on it but the investor thinks it will look bright and tidy. Zone 2. Geo/ corner weighting will be Frigate gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Paints down ..... First the red.. Then the gray It's a super tough resin paint so it should last for years but i must say it stunk to high heaven..

Tony Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Looks great any paint left over for upstairs or are you gonna tile it? I have one tin of red left for upstairs.... I think it's better painted since this area is for tyre racking and other storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
