http://www.puremetallic.com This thread was specifically for Pure Metallic Epoxy. Link above. I think the price with everything I did worked out to about $2.22 per square foot.

I'm still super happy with mine. I even helped my brother in law do his with the same product, different colors. Overall my floor is holding up well, and I've been tough on mine (floor jacks, differentials bouncing off, axles, all sorts of chemicals and detergents, oils). We get summer days...

Looking for a quote on a XPR-10ACX shipped out to 93292. Thanks!

Just a periodic update. I've now had my floor down for 13 months. I just washed it and gave it a fresh coat of the vendor's Floorshine wax. The floor still looks great! I haven't had any areas that pull up due to hot tires (we have 2 weeks out of the year above 110F), or any significant...

How'd did you prep to lay down the 2nd coat? Just curious. Edit: Just realized I missed the description.....

Here's the post on page 10 of this thread with my floor: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3823781&postcount=202 It's a sand base coat with deep sea effects. I did a chemical etch, primer, base coat with effects, an epoxy clear, and a final poly clear on top.

5 months on mine so far and no issues.

Neat find. I didn't see that product when I was doing my research. I can't comment as to any product or quality differences. Looks similar though. I looked at the spec sheet. The coverage rate seems a little different. It states 40-50 sqft per gallon. I had 632 sqft, so that would around 15...

When I did my garage floor a couple of months back, I didn't find anyone else offering complete metallic kits. Where else have you found them?

It's been a bit OT. The thread started as a DIY thread that compelled me to do my floor, but has been taken OT by vendors not related to this. The pure metallic website has a lot of good information on it and there really isn't too much more to it. I took some pictures as we went along, but...

TheEpoxyGuru is the rep for Pure Metallics and has a couple of posts on this thread. I'll second that the epoxy clear somewhat mutes the shimmer of the color coat. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.

1. Yes there is a shimmer to it when you look closely or the sun catches it. 2. Yes, if this is going in the garage it was recommended to do two coats, 1st the 100m Epoxy (gives a lot of depth, flattens out the texture, and tones down the metallics.) The second coat for me was the 747 High...

Just finished laying down Pure Mettalix Sand base coat with Dark Sea effects. Clear coats to follow......... Just after laying down effects....
