How to Apply Metallic Epoxy Flooring – Step-by-Step Guide
Can I Apply Metallic Epoxy as a DIY Project?
Yes, but metallic epoxy can be challenging to work with, especially over large areas. For best results, practice on a small section before committing to a full floor. No two metallic floors will look exactly alike, so expect a unique, artistic result.
Team Setup for Best Results:
- One person for mixing the epoxy.
- One person for cutting in edges.
- One person for spreading with a squeegee.
- One person for back-rolling and applying solvent.
Important Notes:
- Do NOT apply Ultra Metallic if temperatures exceed 25°C, as this can cause bubbling and curing issues.
- Store in a cool environment before and during application.
Application Steps
1. Surface Preparation
Repair cracks & imperfections using Concrete Bog. Sand down high spots once cured.
Vacuum thoroughly to remove dust and debris.
2. Priming the Floor
Apply one coat of Ultra Primer mixed with a Black or Charcoal Tint Pack.
Product Needed: 5 kits (reserve 2L of Part A + 1L of Part B for patching).
3. Preparing for the Metallic Coat
Patch any primer imperfections using a mix of leftover primer + Sikadur 513 Powder as a filler.
Sand the primed surface with 150-grit sandpaper.
Vacuum and mop to remove all dust.
4. Applying the Metallic Epoxy Coat
Required Product: 10–12 kits of Ultra Metallic (coverage varies with thickness).
Mixing Instructions:
• Mix 3 Silver Pearl pigment packs per kit of Part A Ultra Metallic. Stir for two minutes.
• If using highlights, set aside 10% of your resin—less is more!
Application Steps:
- Mix one kit at a time, adding 1L of GP Thinners per kit to reduce bubbles.
- Pour the main color onto the floor and use spiked shoes and a flat magic squeegee to spread evenly. (Do NOT use a notched squeegee as it leaves lines.)
- Each kit covers 15–20 sqm max—stretching it too far will create an uneven finish.
- If using highlights, mix 1–1.5L at a time and apply sparingly.
- A second person should back-roll for a smooth, blended effect.
Continuous Application:
Keep mixing and pouring continuously to avoid colour changes and dry spots. If bubbles appear in the wet product, lightly spray solvent or use a low-pressure air blower to remove them.
Optional: Applying a Clear Top Coat
If you love the natural metallic finish, you can leave it as is. However, for added protection, apply a polyurethane or Polyaspartic clear coat.
If applying a clear coat:
- Sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper.
- Vacuum and mop to remove dust.
- Apply either polyurethane (easier to apply) or Polyaspartic (stronger but more challenging to apply).
Note: Only apply a clear coat if necessary, such as for:
- Extreme UV exposure.
- Unsatisfactory metallic finish.
- Debris or other imperfections.

However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
