saaawwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! how many sq feet was the floor, and if you dont mind me asking, what did they charge you? I feel your gonna be happy with it. epoxy is like window tinting, better left to the professionals...... argue that!!!!!

1000 sq.ft. @ $4.00 sq.ft.

I didn't want to spend that kinda money on a floor but the showroom looks good. Why not make the back look awsome. Now when a customer walks in I can show the whole store. I think it will pay off. I know top notch work is your best advertisement but a really professional looking shop doesn't hurt either. I plan on repainting the walls this weekend. I've got new shelving ordered. Sould be here any day now.

:lol I hope the $99 shop down the street doesn't run me out of business! :gasp

I don't know your plans for colors, but I guess I can give my advice as a 3rd year architecture/interior design dual major student.

I would do a 5' grey band to match the floor, then I believe you use llumar so a 2' llumar red band above that, and then white above that. It'll be nice and clean, but still give your shop the "pop" that you seem to be going for. Clean, and simple.

Beautiful looking floors but it looks really really slippery when you get it wet. Did you put down any anti-slip stuff? $4K for the floor. :chuck

I went cheap and did mine myself. Also used the anti-slip fine sand and tossed the paint chips too. Not bad if I have to say so myself. So far there are only a couple of very very small areas that lifted up because I didn't prep that area of the flooring as well. Overall I am extremely happy with my job since it only cost me less than $300 for materials. Of course it took me over 2 days to finish the job working about 6 hours per day. This wasn't the cheap epoxy stuff you buy at Home Depot. It is a 2 part mix where one of them looks like epoxy glue and the other is the grey color that you have to mix together and you have about an hour to apply this stuff before it hardens up. Bought it at Costco but can't remember the brand name. It comes with 2 gallons per kit and costs $89.99 if I remember right.

A lot of the shops I contract for have a cleared epoxy floor, and it is killer when it gets wet. Especially if you step on the liner, I've almost fell many a time.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
