Wolverine from Fred...

To break it all down.. 1200 sq ft.. expect 3-5 hrs each day for 3 days for the coating etc. itself... then add in the initial clean and prep/etch wash etc.. I would say to do it right is from 25-30 hrs starting with a nice floor. My back is not thanking me right now. lol

Some tips or issues I found and could do better next time... most have been posted but here are a few of mine.

1) broadcasting and/choosing flakes... IMO the best combo of color ratio is going with 50% light base color 30-40% of your secondary and then equal the other colors out with the last 10-20%.. of your bright or non base colors..

in the end I think I did 30lb white 20 lb blk and 6-7lbs each of orange and blue.. and the blue and orange still "pop" pretty good..

2) don't forget to turn off the ceiling fan when throwing flakes up!! ooops got a couple of spots that were heavy because I was so tired I didn't notice the fan was on, or didn't think about it really..

3) Endurashine is pretty easy to apply, but IMO best way to make sure it is covered completely roll it on in 4 directions. took maybe 20-30 minutes extra and I didn't seem to miss a spot.. I went forward/backward.. then side to side.. then did 45* left and rights and seemed to work great and with the traction in it was spread pretty evenly also.

anyway here are some pics I took earlier.

Looks great, thank you for sharing! I really like how it looks with the flake. Once you've used it a bit, can you enlighten us as to how hard it is to find small dropped parts? (6mm nuts, that sort of thing) For my future garage, I've considered a solid light color (white or light gray perhaps) because it will help with the finding of lost parts, but at the same time it will require more cleaning. Which might be good to keep me in check and make sure I keep it clean ;)

well I was assembling the Moduline cabinets and dropped a few nuts and bolts and found them pretty quick.. I was worried too, but since its actually pretty light and I have good lights it wasn't an issue.. Maybe tiny little screws etc. might be harder.
