<VV> Garage Mahal Update - Product & Photos

[Robert Marlow, Vairtec Corp.]

Several listmembers have asked.

The product used was Sherwin-Williams ArmorSeal Floor-Thane CRU Polyester 
Urethane.  This is a two-part coating designed to stand up in aggressive 
industrial and marine environments, and provides resistance to UV exposure, 
abrasion, impact, and chemicals including acids, alkalies, solvents, and fuels.

Recommended uses, according to S-W, are concrete, steel, and wood surfaces, 
on industrial, commercial, or marine applications.  Examples provided 
included auto service centers (bingo) and exterior helipads (!)

The primer was ArmorSeal 33 Epoxy.

See the product information sheet (in pdf format) at:

If the link doesn't work, just do a Google search on Sherwin-Williams 
Floorthane CRU.

Remember, preparation is key, just as it is with painting a car.

For those of you who asked for pictures, well, I don't have any.  At the 
moment, I am consumed by other move-related matters, and I won't be in a 
position to photograph the garage for a few weeks yet.  But a very similar 
floor coating, and one of the inspirations for mine, is shown on Rick 
Norris' Corvair site:

Check it out.  Rick's site is fun, anyway.
