Metallic Epoxy

[moreilly]

Saw this at allgargefloors.com and it looks pretty damn cool.

Anyone try this on their floor? Or know someone who has? I think if I were to pull the trigger on this look, I would want a guy with experience to apply it.

Gonna be 6 months before my house is finished, but I will probably do this on the garage that will house our daily drivers. I would put it on my working shop, but I'm afraid to damage something that nice. Probably standard on my working garage and this stuff on my 'daily' garage. Here's another place I saw you might like:

It is some pretty cool stuff. Some are easier to apply than others. Some require being notch troweled or gauge raked out, then rolled with a porcupine roller. After that coat it is typically sealed with a urethane. There is also a method of using a splash brush with acetone and a metallic immediately after the base coat is put down.

Metallics are some of my favorite floors. Like BBKTM said, there are many different ways of applying it. My favorite is with the compressed air or an electric leaf blower to create swirls and moon craters. Here's the link to metallic epoxy floors since the OP's didn't take.
