You can paint it any color you want but think of a color that is going to reflect light better. I always wanted to paint my floor like a checkered flag but the black may not be a good choice for light. YOu could always paint the part of the floor where your truck is going to sit like that.

I have alot of stuff still on the floor...I have alot of concrete wall space that I need to make shelves.

A bright floor and walls help...absolutley.....

I recommend plumbing your air through out the shop...and if you can..mount you comp. outside. Keep the noise down a bit...and frees up that much space.

Hanging air lines and nice too.


Workbenchs are important....set ups, disassemblys (dirty) benches, new parts, assembly area (clean) bench, etc.

Shelving under the work benches are a must as well
