Swatches? I love looking at fucking swatches.

After this, let's go to the mall and shop for some handbags.

I'd recomend a solid colour... that way if there is a prob you can spot it easier... I have never been a fan of the chips.

You've said the Lambo is black, why not get checkered floor like my friend's ? :hmm

I would go with a solid gray. Much easier to find lost parts, oil slicks, liquids, tools, ect.

I would go with Salt & Peppa....what the hell am I talking about...I would go with a mixture of dirt, car parts, trans fluid and maybe some maple leaves for color, just as I have done for years.:D

It's a garage fer Christ's sake. Why are you even considering colors with names like taupe and tweed. It's a man's part of the house, paint that fucker grey or something any testicle toting person can say it's grey not maude taupe or whatever. :fsakes :D :beer

BTW, PM JYruiz, he's pretty good at this painting and decorating shit. :thumbsup

I have the mocha tweed. Looks bitchen. Easy to clean. Nothing sticks to it, doesn't scratch, even spray paint will wipe off with MEK, but the surface never gets hurt.

Use double the chips they give you with the kit though.

I feel that grey looks too institutional, kinda like prison or military school. I understand the names are kinda girly, ut the colors aren't bad.

When we setup our warehouse, I went with a black and biege walls, leopard print carpet base, with a carmel colored floor. If you get a high gloss single colored floor it will be very slippery (which we did at first), especially when there is a light layer of dust on it. We then decided to changes it to the multi colored floor with a high gloss. Yes, it is difficult to see small parts and screws if they fall, but it's also harder to see dirt.

Here are a couple pitures:

Thanks :thumbsup It really looked better with the one color, but was dangerous as hell. I don't care for the flake, but the practicality of forced the decision.

My first response was PINK for even asking the question. But then I realized it was to show off the Lambo...So I think you should get a stainless steel floor and get it polished like a mirror.

It's not like he going to change the oil in there. Let it be a shrine to his expensive italian go cart.
