Step 1
Prepare the Surface
- Clean the floor thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, and debris. Use a degreaser if necessary.
- Repair cracks, holes, or uneven areas with an epoxy filler or patching compound.
- Grind the surface using a concrete grinder to open the pores of the concrete for proper adhesion.
- Vacuum the surface to remove dust and particles completely.
Step 2
Apply the Primer Coat
- Mix the primer by combining the epoxy resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Roll out the primer using a roller or squeegee to apply a thin, even coat.
- Allow the primer to cure for 6-12 hours before proceeding.
Step 3
Mix the Metallic Epoxy
- Choose your desired metallic pigment colors.
- Mix the epoxy resin, hardener, and metallic pigments thoroughly to achieve a consistent blend.
Step 4
Apply the Metallic Epoxy Layer
- Pour the mixed metallic epoxy onto the primed surface in ribbons.
- Spread the epoxy evenly using a notched squeegee or trowel.
- Create designs using techniques like dragging a roller, swirling with brushes, or blowing with compressed air for marbled or 3D effects.
- Coat the edges and corners using a brush or roller.
- Add contrasting pigment colors (optional) for more depth and movement.
- Blend highlights into the base layer using trowels, sponges, or rollers.
Step 5
Allow the Metallic Epoxy to Cure
- Let the floor cure for at least 12-24 hours, depending on the product and room conditions.
- Ensure no one walks on the surface during this period to prevent defects.
Step 6
Apply the Topcoat
- Mix a clear epoxy or polyurethane topcoat for added protection.
- Apply the topcoat evenly, ensuring full coverage.
- Add a non-slip additive if slip resistance is required.
- Allow the topcoat to cure for 24-72 hours.
Step 7
Final Inspection
- Inspect the surface to ensure it is smooth, glossy, and free of defects.
