Sorry I havent responded til now. I have as usual been having computer problems. The sealer and wax sounds good. Before its all over with, im gonna be scared to do anything on it. LOL

I did e-mail SealKrete about the one part epoxy fortified paint. I got a prompt answer the next moring. They said the white is a base, and to have the guy at Lowes put 5 oz. of white colorant into each gallon to make it a true white. Also, caharcoal gray is not the darkest, as basically everything is a custom mixed color. In other words, they can make the paint black.

I picked up two gallons of white, and it is definately a white. I will get the black after applying the white, but it will still be awhile before the temperature is suitable for painting. I also have it layed out in my mind, and plan to do the squares 16" after considering 12" and 14" squares.

Thanks again for the info- I will look into the sealer and wax, and again will post pics when I start painting it.
