Let’s go Rust-Oleum: Epoxy-Shell 550 primer, Epoxy-Shell 1000 flake coat, Poly-Shell 8000 topcoat.
What happens here
While the epoxy base coat is still wet and tacky, broadcast decorative flakes evenly across the entire floor. The flakes adhere to the wet epoxy, creating a textured, appealing finish and adding slip resistance. Use a bucket to scatter the flakes by hand or using a broadcasting tool, ensuring full coverage. Spiked shoes are necessary to avoid damaging the wet epoxy.
Goal: Apply decorative flakes to the wet epoxy base coat
