60 days cure time on fresh concrete. No other coatings besides the initial acid etch. There's a ton of different colors. I'd recommend a darker one rather than a lighter one like I went with.

UPDATE So I've been in the garage for a few weeks now doing all kinds of stuff. Here are my observations... - Despite no grit additive and a power trowled floor, it's not nearly as slippery when it gets wet as it looks like it could be. - Holds up well to oil drips. But gasoline and brake...

Here's some quick snaps of the containers if that helps anybody. Also, I had it stuck in my head that this was a Sherwin Willams product and I don't think that it is. I changed the thread subject line.

Yes, I believe it to be the same infusion stuff. I should also mention this covers real nice. Two 5 gallon drums was enough to put 2 medium coats on 1200 sq. ft. and there's a good 2 gallons left over. I'm not going to baby it- I just wanted to put some sort of protection on it while it was...

No, it's solvent based as far as I read in the documentation. This stuff is very noxious and is dry to the touch within an hour or so (supposed to cure for 72 hours before heavy traffic). It's not super slick nor chalky. I'd say it's an eggshell/matte type gloss. To be honest, my painter...

Just Dried: H&C :rocker: I went with a light tan. I can't believe how nice it finishes everything off... More photos here

This month's auto restorer mag has an awesome article on how a guy built a temporary crossflow paint booth using PVC pipe, forced air filters, a decent power attic fan, and plastic sheeting. He designed it in 10' sections so he could modify the size to suit whatever he was painting. Pretty cool...

There's a lot of plans floating around on making your own bottle jack style one. Of course, the price of raw materials it might be worth looking at HF.

Anybody got one? Just curious :Mr.T:

I just visited a really cool place this weekend... It's a shop that builds race cars and works on cars. But the coolest part is they're government funded and take in "at risk" teenagers to teach them how to weld and do body work. ANYWAY :rolleyes: , whilst I was touring the facility they had a...

I figure if I squeezed everything in and gave up my workspace- I could fit 4 small and medium sized cars in my 20x30 garage. So you should be able to do at least do the same. As far as fitting two cars through the door, it is highly unlikely you'll ever need them both in the door at the same...

You could set it up to drain automatically!

For us bogans down in SC, we call it "pitchin' a fit" :bounce:

Sorry, Pops ordered the carport so I'm not sure of the manufacturer. But there's an older Leonard one on the same property this one was on and they were assembled pretty much the same way. Everything slips over each other and you cinch it down with the sheet metal screws. It's like a big tinker...

I put together a 2 car aluminum car port (7ft. high side poles and 20ft. long) for the old man today. I've never done it before and there were no instructions. It was a piece of cake! You just need a drill with the right chuck in it for the sheet metal screws. Use rubber washer self tapping...
