<VV> Shop flooring (Ray R.)

[George Jones]

I have to agree with Bryan here. Light gray, beige, and above all, don't put
the contrasting flecks on the top coat. If you can get the same color
sparkles put them down. Otherwise you won't be able to find those small
parts you know you're going to drop. Cannot say enough about the
reflectivity. In my Virginia Beach house, I even covered the walls with
white masonite (think white boards) and I lit the whole 2 car garage with 1
8ft long, 2 bulb florescent light, and 1 4ft long, 2 bulb florescent light
over the work bench.
