Jeepmangled87 · 06-19-2003, 12:17 PM

just enough room for one.

POPE · 06-19-2003, 12:19 PM

Why did I picture that place either OD green on saturated with Glitter or BOTH. Nothing like what I imagined.

Nice looking shop slick, but I think you need more toy's/tools

camo · 06-19-2003, 12:20 PM

Eric Ruhl · 06-19-2003, 12:24 PM

I find the fawking hard to believe. I thought anything you touched got mangled in 1.4 seconds

BTW, how do I get some of the glow in the dark glitter for my shop floor. I'd do it in a heartbeat

AZRocks · 06-19-2003, 12:47 PM

Camo, what did you end up using to paint your floor? I'm doing mine next week. Moving into a new home and nows the time to do it!

Thanks
By the way, good looking shop!

go to a real paint store and insist on a two part oil based epoxy. they will probally try and sell you a two part latex. don't waste your time. get the good stuff.

i like interthane made by international. it is a super glossy finish that last years. slippery as hell when wet but looks good and lasts

the secrect to a good finish is tempeture and floor prep. clean the floor with laqure thinner and remove all old paint and grud. wait unil the concrete is at least 70 degrees and the air temp is above 75 and will stay ther for at least 12 hours.

76 TOY · 06-19-2003, 12:57 PM

AZRocks, they say you should be sure the concrete cures for several weeks before painting. If its a new home. FWIW.
I used the floor paint from Home Depot, it was $50 or $75 per gallon. Mine took 3 gallons for a 3 car garage floor.

Thanks for the info. Everything I've read supports what you said. I'm going to do it right because after I move in, it'll be a LONG time before I see the whole floor at one time again!

I think I'm going to get some fine grit sand and mix in to help with the traction department. I'll look into the interthane.

Camo,

What kind of Bikes you riding? I raced Motocross locally for several years. I always rode Yellow!

I moved close to one of Missouri's premier Motocross/Trail Park's, but have sold my Bikes to fund other projects. Plus, a fat 30 year old just cant hang with those 18 year-olds anymore!

Shop looks great. The painted floors help clean up duties. If your rig is anything like mine, it leaks out of every orfice - even after new gaskets and seals are added.

camo · 06-19-2003, 01:18 PM

i ride a yz426 not even close to as cool as my cr500

wife ride rides xr 200 and chane rides a pw50

for new concrete you need to etch it with some stuff that remove the lime. the lime will seep outherwise and peel up the paint

BillaVista · 06-19-2003, 02:04 PM

Holy hell - that's shiny! Where's the grease and metal dust 4" thick?

You ever do any work in there

jwag · 06-19-2003, 02:12 PM
