I've alway's wanted a black and white checkerboard floor in my garage. My wife and I just bought a new house here in Arizona and she like's my idea as well for painting the garage floor. We bought the correct paint and everything else, but how do I lay out the pattern. Do I paint one color first? Or one square at a time?
Does anyone have another idea?

It would require far less time and effort to paint the entire floor white (or black), and then do the squares in the other color.
I think I'd mark the squares off with a pencil or removeable marker after the first color is down and dry. You could possibly use a chalk string, but it's easy to accidentally wipe away the lines as you work.
Depending on the size of the squares, you might want to make a template out of cardboard that you can tape to the floor to do a large section at a time.
I hope you have a lot of patience.
