"Motor City Motors" Madness

[AlphaGarage]

Anyone watch "Motor City Motors" on the Discovery Channel? If so you've seen some of our coatings being abused.

Last summer we went to Detroit to do a rush job on getting an absolutely horrendous surface ready for the cameras to shoot the show. We had very sketchy info on the floor, other than being told it was in "pretty good" shape. Pretty good in that somewhere in Michigan there might have been a few square feet that were in worse shape, maybe.

At any rate the show must go on - so the epoxies went down!

Here are a few of the details...

"....The space to be coated was about 4,000 square feet. We gathered and overnighted enough material to coat the floor....."

I wonder what the freight bill was for that exercise. Hopefully the production company picked up the tab for the freight and the epoxy?

If not....4,000 square feet of Wolverine epoxy floor....shipped overnight....No wonder the motor city motors guys are always talking about being flat broke!

Man... this was one of the toughest and most stressful job site that I have ever been on. Even while I was on my first flight and the first crew from Chicago showed up on the job site... the phone started ringing. What was supposed to be a flat floor was actually only flat because it had decades of dirt, oil, and grime settled on it. The Chicago crew spent over 8 hours sweeping... well... shoveling... lol...

Anyway, I'm not going to write the whole story. Let's just say... We were glad when this job was done!

And, yes... I did actually do some work! lol... Fred... where is that picture where we made it look like I was working too?
