Hello,

I'm about to build a double wide garage that will be heated. What I plan
on doing to the floor is painting it in a checkerboard pattern (black and
white) and parking a collector vehicle on it. I am looking for anyone that
has done this sort of thing. I am looking for a very high gloss , shiney
finish.. I'm wondering if I should use an epoxy cement paint to start,
then use any durable paint to go over it? Thanks in advance from help
from someone that has experienced doing this. Jim


If you are doing this from scratch, check with your concrete man. They can
finish concrete to a very very very shiny finish, and they can also add
colorant or make it a lot of colors and veins so that smudges, spills, and
booboos are not as noticeable. I have seen some shiny floors in big stores,
and yes, it comes from a sealer that is applied, but that concrete is very
very very smooth from the get go.
