You may have to special order it, but you can get it in about every color. I had to special order the red.

That looks great! How smooth does the surface have to be to get the tiles to stick? The floor on my garage is really kind of rough. I wasn't the original owner but had I been I would have been quite upset that the builder let this finish work pass.

Thanks,
Tom

Prep, paint, chips and a lot of clear epoxy.
