That's a good idea, save it becoming as scarred as the dining table after a few weeks of abuse :lol: I'll give my dad a shout, he has CNC kit where he works and they always have tons of spare sheet metal :think:

Personaly I wouldn't be able to carry out any work in this room. I don't feel well where floor is so not naturaly red. I prefer dark colours

Tbh I didn't put any more thought into the colour further than the fact that it was already red, so I just bought more red paint. Plus it'll do a marvellous job of hiding all my spilt blood, sweat and tears in the years to come :lol:

@K30DPC In short, red colour acts as a psychological stimulant which of course can affect you physiologically, if you have high blood pressure this will cause nausea, headaches etc. :idea:

Glad you started at the bench! My mate wasn't so clever, was fun hearing about him climbing along the shelves in an attempt to get out though.

:lol: love a good you've been framed moment.

JJ I am also in the painting crew 8-)

Had a damp problem in my kitchen (that was the Mrs, boom boom) so like all good diyers I slapped some new plaster on and painted over it.

So boring though and to think I have more coats to do :suicide:
