epoxy-coat designs

So, took the plunge and ordered bright red from epoxy coat.
I also have the grey.
Has anyone ever mixer two colors on the floor in any type of design?
How about glow in the dark flakes?
Or, added alcohol or other solvent to make designs?

Also, is it possible to pour out and work a 2 car garage in one mixing?

What you want (mixing colors, adding alcohol/solvent) is done using Metallic Pigments primarily. Different products.

Scotty is correct, what you are asking is for a different product.

Mixing and pouring a single batch for a whole 2 car garage is not recommended. You're risking the chance that the epoxy will begin to set-up before you get time to spread it.

Thanks
Thats what I thought. Is there anything that i can do or add to achieve some other effect, besides the standard chips?

Are there metallic, or glow in the dark chips that will work?
Will adding any type of solvent have any color effect?

How about doing the garage with 2 overlapping colors? the red and grey inter mingled a bit?

Yes. http://www.originalcolorchips.com/color_chips.html

No. As Scotty and Kayla from Epoxy-Coat said above, you need a different product for that.

How about doing the garage with 2 overlapping colors? the red and grey inter mingled a bit?

Are you looking for a darker pink color? You really can't intermingle them like you are thinking unless you mix two small batches of each and pour them out on the floor together. You would most likely end up with a pink mess.
