Do I need to purchase the clear top coat to get the high gloss finish?NO!
Both base and top coats have equal gloss levels however when you apply an additional clear coat the light will reflect on a smoother surface and will therefore look glossier.
Custom Flake Chip Options
Custom colors come with custom color flake chips
(up to 3 colors)
Our Standard epoxy garage floor coating kits include enough flake chips for a light flake density.
Note:
Light density requires 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft.
Medium density requires 5-10 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft.
Heavy density requires 20-30 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft.
Rejection density requires 150 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft.
If you choose the fine flakes the amounts need to be doubled to achieve the right density.
The flake density photos below LIGHT, MEDIUM and HEAVY represent our 1/4" (standard) flakes.
The flake density photo below FLAKE TO REJECTION is shown with our 1/4" (standard) flakes. Flake to Rejection is when the floor is totally saturated with flakes.
The FINE is shown with our 1/16" (fine) flakes. When ordering you will have the option of selecting either the Standard or Fine flakes included in our complete coating kits.
Due to the many variables in computer monitor settings the sample colors shown below may not be accurate and should only be used as a reference. Actual Epoxy-Coat samples will provide the best guide for final color selection and are available upon request from Epoxy-Coating Inc.
