Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Looks like departure angle to me

Stellar though. Simply stellar

 

You 100% will have more storage.

One of the main attractive features on flatbeds, for me, is a rear drawer. Great place to store various pieces of gear, tools, etc.

 

Yes! It definitely has that southern hemisphere utilitarian look that I wanted... like it alot. Sexy for sure!

 

You...

 

This is a good day for updates, I'll share mine.

Came back home from work to the roof deck and rafters painted flat black for project: garage. Pictures don't do it justice - stoked that I went with black. Walls and heat going in on Friday.

 

Damn, that's quite a transformation in a week! Definitely a unique badass utilitarian look. Loving watching your progress.

 

Sweet! It's like spraying on that black woolwax for the first time.

 

Hey... does it come in aerosol cans-the black WoolWax?

 

So explain the black to me. Is that going to remain open or will you have sheetrock on the ceiling?

 

why black?

 

So, I am planning to just spray all that raw metal with woolwax or fluid film or what ever. Black. What does this group think is best or advise for the bare metal?

 

Was wondering the same, wouldn't white be more reflective?

 

I would sand, then prime, then paint bedliner.

 

This is the kit I got last year, just hook up to a compressor.
woolwax Lanolin Vehicle undercoating kit (4) Quarts w/PRO GUN & (2) extension wands. BLACK color https://a.co/d/5nFPDtS

I know Fluid Film is sold in aerosol cans, but I'm not sure about WoolWax.

 

Black is black because it absorbs all colors of the spectrum. White is white because it reflects all the colors of the spectrum.
Yes, white will be more reflective. Black will deaden your light and change the color of the things at ground level due to said absorbtion.
Will definitely make it hotter up there too.
Was just trying to understand the method behind the madness. lol

 

My thoughts exactly

 

The ceiling cavity will remain open.

I wanted to go with flat black paint mostly as a style choice. The end goal for my garage is a combination of a functional shop with a showroom feel; a place to work in, but also one you want to spend time in. It also makes the room feel larger than it is.

Would white be more reflective? Sure, and I considered doing that. But, the lighting I have and the light gray walls going in will supplement everything nicely.

Edit: if I end up not liking it for whatever reason, I can always change the paint color.

 

That answers the questions I had.

 

Thanks for the reasoning.
I appreciate an organized work area.
