Love that deep, soft feely resin floor coating though, my garage is getting it at home.....eventually. Looks stunning Simon, very nice job indeed. PS I notice your photo angle is taken from low to high.....sorta looking up to the car. This is a constant source of amusement here, I do down to car, partner does it up to car, your way...I'm coming around to his way lately. Silly thing, but suits some cars more than others. I mainly do low to high, but agree some cars look better high to low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you've done a cracking job Simon and no doubt still "flying" off the fumes..... bca will have more traffic but floor paint is, in the long term, cheaper, sweeps easy, repels water, and if your renting? why give the landlord a bonus ? if it comes off and wears out very quickly thats either paint bought off a pikey or a damp floor, we do ours every xmas, throw it out of tin, roller on end of sweeping brush handle, and roll away, make sure you put the padlocks by the exit door though first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Area 51 33 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) My background in the dim and distant is aviation... this is why floor paint works well and always will.. you will find many a workshop or man cave of aviation fella is done with epoxy.. just nothing else, simples.. BTW.. the corner of your workshop and new images are super, great effort to be proud of.. are you going the vehicle demo/handover/presentation area at the starage entrance in the same? Just a thought.. I reckon it would look the part to have the car start waiting for the billy/noo owner etc... Keep up the good work.. +1 on the admirers here..

Arfur Dealy 823 Posted August 2, 2018 1 hour ago, twerp said: Yes - the composition, lighting and background are great, but the actual camera image quality is poor and low resolution. Twerp. The image is good enought for 99.9r % of people looking on their mobiles. If you are anal David Bailey type then of course you can be critical. But looking at your post, you never have anything positive to say about anything. 1 hour ago, Area 51 said: My background in the dim and distant is aviation... this is why floor paint works well and always will.. you will find many a workshop or man cave of aviation fella is done with epoxy.. just nothing else, simples..

Arfur Dealy 823 Posted August 2, 2018 Twerp, I don't agree with you, I don't think my pictures look awful, I get nothing but praise buy my coleagues and customers about the quality of my adverts. I think you are picking fault just for picking fault's sake. I also think the vast majority of people would agree. You never seem to have anything positive to add to posts on the forum and you are always negative. Now, I can take critisism when its due and I invite it because it helps me learn and grow. But you are sort who would say the most beautiful woman in the world is ugly because she has a freckle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The image on your home page is of a better resolution and shows your cars shining. Which really is the aim. Side by side, the Santa Fe looks dull and washed out. The thing is Twerp, you think it looks awful, I simply don't, when you look at the pictures through multiple devices the pictures really stand out. As I said, you never have a positive thing to say about anything, you are a doomer, a bad trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arfur Dealy 823 Posted October 15, 2018 Well., I am so impressed with the way expoxy flooring enhances the pictures.... I have decided I am going to do the whole unit floor, I will then be able to do some kind of walk through the unit introduction and conclusion in my videos......it should be quite impressive for the billies (along with imperial leather soap) in the toilets 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
