Shane

When I built a shed at my old house I bought cement/driveway paint and just rolled it on to the new floor. from memory the paint was under $200 for 4 gallon drum, coverd 72 sqr meters with at least 2 coats and still had a 1/4 of it left.

for older floors I think if you thourghly degrease it you should be fine.

Your floor looks pretty new so should clean up easily, one good thing about painted floors is they stop a lot of dust.

Hey Shane, when you say the car was storm damaged was that just hail or was it in a flood? Got any pics of it? :-\

Hey mate, I've put a few pictures in my gallery for you.

You guys have me thinking now.

I might get a small tin of that stuff and test it on some concrete that we'll be pulling up soon. Just in case I mess it up  ;D

The shed floor has a few small spills here and there from other people that have been working here  ::) So a light acid wash might be required.

Not looking forward to moving all the stuff I have out of the shed though  :(

Hey mate,

It was in very good condition with just light hail damage on the bonnet and roof. It was classed a a repairable write off so I could have easily registered it again. In fact I had to think long and hard about it but in the end I bought it for the engine so thats that. Plus I have an AUIII Fairmont Ghia V8 to play with :)
The ute looks like its had new leads fitted recently and the sticker on the windscreen shows it was serviced a month or so before I bought it so it appears to have been looked after.

Thanks mate

Whats the auto electrician doing? Did you end up getting all your gauges sorted? I was just online looking for gauges for mine but I'm struggling to find all the gauges I want in one brand :(


good to see your making progress shane  ;D I get mine back from the auto electrician very soon   ;)
