G'day,

This subject came up in the "Speaking of Balancing Beads" (SOBB) and I figger'd I'd start a new message to share my experience. In
the SOBB message it was noted that cars with hot tires would rip the paint off garage floors.

Before I moved into my "shed" I decided to paint the grey concrete panel walls white to reflect the light and the floor light grey
to stop the never ending dust that comes off concrete floors and make it easy to find dropped fasteners.

I went to an industrial paint store and was advised that it would be best to undercoat the walls then paint them white and that if I
didn't want hot car tires to damage the floor paint to use two pack epoxy paint. It wasn't cheap but here we are seven years later
and the floor is as good as new.

I even used it to paint the wooden floor of the mezzanine in my shed. The only problem I've had with that is that the paint cracked
along the floor panel seams which stands to reason as the wood floor probably expands, contracts, shifts, and bounces a bit.

Regards,
Rob M.
