Anyone have any idea what this person may have used for the checker board looking mats that are surounding the car?

Image

This are not made from paper, it looks like hard tiling, or something. But I don't see where they join. They COULD be individual slabs (1 for each color) but they all appear to be perfectly aligned so I don't think they are seperate.

I want to have a checker board type floormat either UNDER the car, or surrounding the car.. Anyone have any idea's as to what I could use? (Not paper not table cloth material as the weight of the car would cause it to wrinkle.

Thanks

Are we talking permanent (as in your garage) or mobile (for shows and the likes)? For permanent, using tiles would probably be the best choice, would also stop oil and other fluids from drawing into the concrete or whatever your garage is made off ...

Mobile, I recon some kind of vinyl or other PVC/plastic material might work ... may have to push the car onto it to keep it from wrinkeling too much, but apart from that .... I think I've seen something like that before at a show and it was just shiny plastic ... (didn't explore any further :))

There are several manufacturers that make PVC garage interlocking floor tiles. http://www.cartwheelfactory.com is the first one I found, there will be several more.
