BLACKJACK,

Afrer reading every post about floor coverings, researched every brand mentioned, I went with the "Wonderpaint system'.

ALL of the products mentioned take the same work. The floor has to be prepped!

Now, my experience doing a 42x40 'new' floor. 6 months old and no oils, etc. The Company directions are unbelievably pathethic. Caused some very serious carnage. The can says one thing, the sales rep. said another. Of course I got ahold of the Rep. after it was to late. (What a mess!) I did end up saving it, or at least got the product where it finally went down, "OK". Needless to say I was not and still not a happy camper investing that much work and money.

However, to the other side of the fence. Damnn this stuff is good!
I liked the idea that you take the base paint color, comes in gallon cans, take it to you local paint store, my case the hardware store, picked a color out of the thousands they had on display, and they tinted each gallon to my choosing. (I went with a light tan.)

To clean it is amazing. Take a 36" broom to it and the broom feels like it's in a self propelled mode, absolutely no resistance. Wash it and it looks the the hood of DV after a rain, it actually beads up!

Only been here since after the Fling, but I have given it every hard test in the book! Loaded engine stands with steel whells hasn't touched it. Lifting cars with a floor jack, then swinging the cars around hasn't touched it. My 'moveable' mobile four post lift with a '40 Willy's on it moves with ease without leaving marks! In fact my floor has a very slight 'fall' to the drain and the damnned hoist will head for the drain on its own every time!

I have already dropped molten slag on it from the torch, sparks from grinders, multiple tools from ratchets to hammers all without 'harm'. Brake fluid, antifreeze, oils, haven't touched it. Clean up with a wrag and you can't even see where it was!

If you would have asked me about "Wonderpaint" last July, I would have given you an earfull. But, after seeing how tough and beautifull it is, I've lightened up a little. Would I recommend it to someone? Ya...I guess so. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET AND UNDERSTAND THE CORRECT PROCEDURES THE FIRST TIME!

DV...
