PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: UCoat-It's UCoat with UFlek-AF

The Cars & Trucks That Defined PRI 2025

December 29, 2025

From the low-key approach applied to this ’55 Chevy, it’s obvious that Jack and Gail Jenkins’ reasons for building it were based around applied craftsmanship, when you take into account the subtle style it displays. While the bodywork and paint are flawless, there’s little sign of the modifications beneath it, or the effort that went into them.

BRACE FOR IMPACT

Even more than 40 years ago, Ford understood the importance of preventing body flex in order to allow a suspension to maintain proper geometry. The earliest Mustangs came with front shock tower braces to prevent uncontrollable suspension articulation, caused when both upper ends of the shock towers flex inward. The need to prevent such flex is still important today, and the principle applies to the rear shock towers as well as to the fronts.

TO 468

Camaros are nothing new for Steve Felthousen. His father is an avid car collector and counts a ’69 Pace Car among his collection. In high school, Felthousen drove a ’73 Z28, and later he built a Pro Street ’69. Just to show how diverse his interests are, he also drove a ’69 Chevelle SS 396. But he soon began looking for another Camaro, and he knew he wanted a first-generation model.

Built Tough for the Real World

First off, let’s talk durability. This isn’t your average floor paint. The UCoat system is engineered to withstand the abuses of daily use in a working garage. We’re talking about a commercial-grade, two-component system that’s as tough as the vehicles that roll over it. Your garage floor will be able to handle oil spills, hot tire pick-up, and heavy traffic without breaking a sweat.

Aesthetics to Match the Durability

But it’s not just about toughness. UCoat with UFlek-AF delivers a finish that looks like it belongs in a professional workshop. With the UFlek-AF additive, you get a custom, terrazzo-like appearance that will make your floor the envy of all your car club buddies. And here’s where it gets even better: you can customize your floor with a wide range of color options and flake combinations. Whether you prefer classic greys and silvers for a sleek look or vibrant reds and blues to make a bold statement, there’s a palette that fits your style. The flakes allow for unlimited creativity—mix and match to design a truly unique garage floor that’s as impressive as the cars parked on it.

Ease of Application

If you’re a DIYer, this system is a dream come true. You don’t need to be a professional to apply it. With easy-to-follow instructions and all the materials included, you can transform your garage floor over a weekend. From surface prep to the final coat, UCoat has streamlined the process to make it as straightforward as possible.
