Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

In the first shop I had I mixed 1 gallon of white with 1 gallon of battle ship grey. I was surprised how I could lay under a vehicle without having to use a trouble light. When moving everything back into the shop I dropped a torque converter and fluid went flying. Didn't mar the floor and clean up was nothing more than a simple wipe.
In this shop I decided to go pure white. It allows me to work under vehicles without the use of a trouble light (I do have around 28 4ft lights and 2 Camaros hanging so illumination isn't a problem)lol.
One thing I didn't realize was how much dirt shows up around the edges/corners/off to the side where the broom doesn't reach on quick clean ups. The grey helped hide the filth.
Im unable to remember which brand exactly I used but it wasn't the one with the speckles in it from HomeDepot or Lowes. Not that they don't work but I wanted total overkill.
One thing I did notice right off the bat was when welding you will smell burning floor epoxy. The area I weld wasn't painted for that reason but the edges of where I left off get a spark or two at times. Nothing horrific but that's one of the disadvantages.
Here are some links to similar products. I also did a light etching of the floor to prep it for the epoxy.
Follow the manufacturers directions and you'll have no problems.

Your truck and garage look great.
Always a good time peeking in.
