Doing myself, have done before....lots of prep work.....floor has been treated degreaser/etcher, pretty easy to do, just lots of elbow grease on the broom and rinsing, last rinse I used the gerny to finish off and make sure no product left on surface.....biggest issue so far was once clean the cracks were bigger than anticipated so spent morning today putting crack filler product in, initially I was using epoxy fill, but was too thin and weeped through cracks, went back to Bunnings and found a thicker product, so will have to sand back......the next issue I will have is putting epoxy down, but floor needs to be dry and not hopeful in the middle of a cyclone, but will keep updated. I had planned to do epoxy paint on Saturday.

You need a few days to a proper job....then on to painting the walls.

Well it's been a day, road closures and inland seas, finally have N1T3MRE in the new stable-albeit needing a good bath ready for run on Saturday

Driving this beast for 11hrs straight is not a chore, it is so much fun, and need to work out if this pothole detection thing is real, but a million potholes past today and no issues

Now all unpacked, got to grab wife from airport tonight, then cleaning time tomorrow.

And it finally happened, the first S650 I happen to see on the road was @Valiant cruising down the M1......spotted the tri headlights in the rear mirror and even in the dark it is a mean looking car on the road....the first one I see and it's a Dark Horse...noice

Don't do in a middle of a cyclone because you are bored, have one section still slightly tacky after a month, but from the pics above, reckon it comes out alright, recommend 2 people on rollers and someone throwing confetti, doesn't take long when you get started, just make sure you use same amount in each section for consistency, and start to finish as quick as possible, the longer the epoxy sits in buckets, it will tend to darken, but in saying that, don't think the first section sat long enough as it's the tacky part....but that's where the Prado will sit

Gotta admire a man that gets his priorities sorted...
1. Sort garage for the Mustang...
2. Get the Mustang...
3. Time to slip in a Mustang ride...
4. Oops, nearly forgot the wife...
5. Funs over, better get the rest of the stuff now...

Did you take possession and bin the stupid number plate plinth while you were at it?

Mine went in the bin as soon as I got home.

I have already instructed my dealer to bin that stupid front Number Plate monstrosity (if I ever get my car lol).
