Pearl epoxy floor with polyurethane overcoat problems

[triodes]

Hi Gents

I retired and bought a nice 5 car garage house. Garage needed complete renovation. I decided to have a local source epoxy coat the floor for me.

We decided to coat it in pearl color metallic epoxy. He had just done a couple aircraft hangers in the area in the stuff and I looked at it and liked it.

Mine did not turn out as well. There were craters, bubbles, sags, dirt and other problems with it. He agreed to sand it down smooth, not completely remove it, and then coat with polyurethane mix.

It fixed most but not all the issues.

My question here is this. I have already damaged a few areas by moving things around, dropping heavy items, etc etc. all the way to the base concrete. How can fix these areas?

Sand it and coat the epoxy again.

The question is how to do spot repais

spot repairs

I almost put Epoxy down but decided my shop is a shop. That means work will be done. Grinding, welding, painting and dropping stuff. It's a shop.

I want to do my garage as it's only used for parking stuff.

Spot repairs look like spot repairs, even the best of the color matchers out there can't spot repair a metallic to look like it hasn't been repaired if the damage is in the color coat. Add a logo or a sports icon.
If the damage is in the clear coat, I think doing the entire slab is the only way to blend the clear to look like it's glass. I think using a solvent would fog up the clear and mess up the sheen and polishing to a gloss is an art. Maybe someone has a blending method, I've never seen one that doesn't look like a repair.
After you get the top coat down, add a sacrificial coat and
maintain the coat by reapplying. There is maintenance on flowing resinous finishes that can minimize the wear.

Absolutely correct. All or nothing with metallic floors.
