I've made two Arena Tracks from Luan board at a size of 6'x8'.
The first surface was a felt / turf but after many long nights of racing, we decided it had to much grip. Even with the slower engines we were flipping the cars at every turn.
The second I painted it with standard indoor paint right over the luan board. You need a TON of coats to get a smooth finish and after a few days the natural dust in the air lets the cars slide a tad. I used 5/8" Nylon around the interior and the cars don't jump it, in many cases they bound off and keep going.
Since you can easily paint over paint. Try just normal indoor paint, if it has to much grip, paint it again with something else. It comes in flat, satin, semi-gloss and glossy, you have a ton of choices in color as well. Finally, it's cheap!
