New guy with a new garage

[alotaboost]

Hey guys, been reading on here for a while trying to get some ideas.

I have a new home being built, should be moving in in a few weeks. I have been looking around and really like the unique look of the marble like coatings for example Icoat metal illusions or possibly an acid stain with a clear topcoat. From what I have read and watched in vidoes the metal illusions epoxy is probably easier to install, but I'm not sure of the durability

I would like something that will last and look great for a long time that doesn't cost a ton. My garage is just under 900sf. what is your recommendation?

Here is a video I found on the metal illusions, check it out, looks amazing

Alota:

We have acid stain and dyes, call if you have any questions.

After some more research I am kinda leaning toward a polyaspartic or polyurea coating. Can you add metallic powder to say, a clear polyurea or polyaspartic? if so, where is the best place (pricing wise) to get the coating and metallic powder?

Welcome to the forum. No matter what style floor you choose, there is lots of information here and knowledgeable members on each type.

Have fun

You can contact Elite Crete and ask for the distributor for your area and have them price it out for you. [email protected]

Thanks DCS, I have seen some of your work on here, and it looks amazing. I sent them an email to see if there is a distributor in my area.

I think so we can add metallic power to clear polyurea or polyaspartic.
