Question About Epoxy Topcoat

[Joannaguilbault]

Hello! This is my first post. We just painted our garage floor this past weekend. When we first put it down it looked like one coat was enough. So we went ahead and added decorative flakes. But after it dried you can see several spots with imperfections. The previous owners used a porch paint. We sanded as much as we could with the diamond sander. Will the clear glossy top coat make this show up more? I guess there's not much we can do about it now.

I used:

Primer: Corotech 100% Solids Epoxy V-155
Color coat: polyamide Epoxy Coating Gloss V400

My top coat that I will be adding tomorrow is Aliphatic Acrylic Urethane Gloss V500.

It's not all bad. Attaching Pictures...

That looks pretty odd... yes, the gloss clear poly will accentuate imperfections.

We are so far in we can't go back now. I just added the first top coat. I think it looks better. It's not perfect, but it is better than before. I'll attach pictures of what it looked like before. It was pretty ugly.

Any final pics after the top coat?

Welcome to the forum.
When I discovered that Epoxy Floors, as pretty as they are, were not intended to be in a shop where I was learning to use my Arc Welder my wife told me I ruin everything I touch.
