    I need your guys help. I could have sworn I ran across a picture of a garage with a painted black floor with vertical Ferrari stripes somewhere on this 360/430 site two nights ago but I have looked everywhere and cannot find it. Anybody else see it and remember which thread it is in? I even searched on "black garage floor" but found nothing as expected since that term was not the subject of the thread. I have searched the three most recent pages of the 360/430 threads but no luck.

    Reason I am asking is I am going to have my garage floor stained and then polished and black has been suggested as a way to go.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    410SA -- I would guess those sliding glass windows help greatly with the light situation. I'd be concerned that you'd need a billion watts of lighting in that kind of space because the floor absorbs so much. Eh?


    BTW, it looks dang sexy!

    What a huge garage... I'd kill for that much room.
    Is it 4 cars wide?

    Below is a photo of a black stained and polished concrete floor done by Bomanite of Wisconsin with whom I am working. It is amazingly reflective and should not swallow up too much light. I will have to wait a month or so as the company is quite busy. I am also going to have them include three foot high logos of Ferrari and Porsche down the middle of the garage aligned vertically. Once done I will upload a photo so you can see how it came out.

    This picture looks like a dead-ringer for the garage in one of the last scenes of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

    Your rite, but to be sure someone should run their 250 GT out the window ;-)

    There are seven in this pic, but it can take more when we use the wheel dollies.

    You need to get that F430 out of there and replace it with a proper car... :p:p:p

    Just kidding, great collection. :)

    It's long gone. It really was a very odd duck amongst those iconic cars. It's been replaced by a couple of oldies, also crammed into that space right now.
