    HI, Painted this on the floor in the unit, this is the 2nd version of this, did a similar one in the old spot with my partner in crime. All done in paint free hand with good old One Shot, did thumb nail design 1st, then painted it on & yacht varnished it for good measure. Sell tones of these usually done in a day & get £350 for em…… it pays the rent!

    excellent work mate.. real smart 😛

    i take it its painted direct to floor and not on vinyl with lamiante then?
    if not.. how long “roughly” do you get from them before fading?
    what sorta size is that… £350 is nothing to be grumbled at… well done 😉

    thanks for taking the time to post your work 😀

    Sizzlin’ 😀

    do you prime the area first or can you just lay the paint down directly on …hmmm…concrete?

    Thanks for the feeback mate, with that sorta life you wouldn’t need to worry about fading i guess, but maybe depending on what type of floor it is painted on it will deteriorate faster?
    if so, would a clear anti-skid over-laminate be and idea? just a thought… thanks for posting your work anyway mate… top notch 😉
