From stadiums to showrooms and galleries to garages, it seems that light grey floor paint (BS 00A05 – BS Goose Grey) fits the purpose exceptionally well!

What the video demonstrated particularly well is how easy it is with some preparation and the right application equipment to quickly spray a container with good coverage.
