Better than roses...
« on: February 14, 2011, 07:43:19 PM »


This morning they delivered my wifes new Kawi Ninja 250 for Valentines.

She loves her 1200 Sporty but really wanted a small burner for tight twisty's when riding the back roads to Banff/Lake Louise or down south to Waterton.

She is really looking forward for the snow to melt now.

Nice bike!  Nice, organized, clean shop.  What did you use on the floor, it almost looks like epoxy rather than regular floor paint?

I coated the floor with a three part industrial epoxy.

In between the two coats I had the surface shot blasted.

Thanks for the lowdown on the shop floor.  We've used multiple products and methods over the years and feel the epoxy with beadblasting is definitely the better method.  If that was floor paint, I wanted to get the supplier and application method.
