Garage Flooring Wanted

[tinpants]

When I was in the Army we had some new tank hangars built and this was the type of stuff that was put on the floors. If it can resist a 70 tonne Chieftain bridge-layer driving on it, then i'm sure it will be ok with a centre stand.

Yep , in fact you get the best results on unsealed concrete but you have to be sure it's Clean (no oil and other stains of sorts) , when i did my bosses 1,000 SQ foot garage i acid cleaned it 3 times followed by 3 soap and water POWER WASH cleanings then rented a floor scratching machine and worked it over followed by 3 more Power Washes and dust removal , any cracks in the floor must be filled with compatible filler ...This is top notch Stuff and you don't want to mess it up as it is expensive , i believe he payed 1,500 US dollars just for the materials and if done right you can drive a tank on it without chipping .

If you want i can call them tomorrow during business hours and see if they can ship overseas.

Ta hang man, that'd be much appreciated. I am definately up for prepping it properly, I've learnt the hard way about the importance of prepping surfaces for paint.

That stuff seems loads tougher than 2pack paint. We shall see.

Seen the video on the site... unfortunately for me the "emptying the garage" bit will probably take twice as long as the rest of the job!
