flake color opinions

[ods dan]

In the next few days I am finally going to apply the wolverine epoxy... I have black, white, orange and blue flakes.

this ratio is about 2-2 blk and white and a little less than 1 part orange and 1 part blue.. (the orange and blue together almost equal the same as each of the white or blk)

I like the colors and will go well in my shop, except wondering if I should adjust the ratio to less blue or orange or just do it..

also I have about 90lbs total for 1300 sqft so it will be covered pretty well.

Looks like the Detroit Tigers colors? I like it.....what color are the walls?

Great color mix.

Don't drop any parts. Especially carburetor parts.

Exactly. Imagine spilling a handful of small fasteners and needing to find them all. Less contrast and lighter shades for flake colors will help.

I plan on light gray base with white flakes and the clear. I was thinking that it would be easier to see most dropped small parts except white ones...

walls are white, black moduline cabinets.. and may do an orange stripe around the walls.. 2 bendpak blue lifts.. I know about the dropping small parts, this is for my "clean" shop so hopefully I can be careful. lol

thanks guys

cool, but doesn't seem to change % which is my issue...

actually doing more colors and repeating comes close.. cool

I'm waiting on my supplies. I got a very small amount of flake for a very sparse spread. I want to be able to see the base color, have some slight color texture but not be overwhelming. This way it will hopefully hide imperfections without taking away from the overall floor, or make it impossible to find parts.

Neat color setup, but I personally think with those strong colors, your floor will be overwhelming. Maybe less on the red and the blue to add balance with highlights.
