I know exactly what you two are talking about, I can’t help feel slightly inferior for not having premises.

I must say, I’m very pleased with the outcome, it’s exactly the effect I wanted.

Background and floor look great, but I am sorry to say the car looks awful because of the interpolated pixels.

It looks like it has been digitally enlarged and not optically zoomed.

floor paint is cheaper  comes in many colours and is just as durable

No way; I was at BCA yesterday and looking at their floor it must be an epoxy resin finish.  BCA undoubtedly have more traffic than any of us and the floor is mint - whenever I have used standard floor paint, it comes off and wears out very quickly.

I think you've done a cracking job Simon and no doubt still "flying" off the fumes.....

I once spilt fence paint on some paving and the stuff is still there, 3 world cups later..... 8 years! 

Love that deep, soft feely resin floor coating though, my garage is getting it at home.....eventually. 

Looks stunning Simon, very nice job indeed. B)

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

Yes - the composition, lighting and background are great, but the actual camera image quality is poor and low resolution.

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 :rolleyes:

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..

Well to me the photo looks preeeettttttyyyy good. If you are being genuine about the optical zoom then you are either crazy OCD or you're just bored.

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.

No offence intended AD, just an observation.

Yes absolutely, any one still frame from your video has a higher resolution and shows the car better.


Probably won't matter to the average Santa Fe driver, but hey ho !
