Checker Board Floor Mat idea for indoor car shows

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



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

I cant think of the name but there is a company that makes tiles like that for garage floors. Its flexable and has tabs underneath the interlock to hold and allign them together. Ill look around for it.

You can also use cheap vinyl tiles on some thin plywood. That's what I did for these shots:

This seems to be the lastest craze. At the resent Corvette Chevy Show half the guys there had these.

Looks good. However you should invest in some wet sanding and a buffer. It would take that orange peel right out!
