[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 433872, member: 13702"] It certainly is light - 10lbs lighter per 4x8 sheet than the FRP I used but also much more expensive everywhere I look because you have to order it in bundles. It is polypropylene, so not only will it be hard/impossible to paint as it has lousy adhesion properties but it also isn't UV stable, so over time it will degrade. Probably not a good long term option. If that doesn't turn you off to it I'd try and get a sample somehow to make sure it doesn't crush when you stand on it. If it'll hold with you standing on it then you should be fine so long as you back it with foam. Car topping with the floor will be hard if you're going to use carpet as the carpet will add the most weight. The foam and sheeting should be manageable to lift. [/QUOTE]
