Tan over Grey Epoxy

[nfuriate]

This is sort of a repeat topic for me, but a new spin on it.

I've got a couple of the water based Rustoleum epoxy kits in grey, but want tan. The two kits I have will cover my floor, but not have much left over...at least that's based on what the box says. I've been thinking recently about using both grey and tan. I'm worried about putting this stuff on too thin so the more coats I use, the better off I'll be I hope. The question now is, what would happen if I used the grey kits as a base coat and topped that with a coupld of tan kits as a second coat and a clear top coat? This is, of course considering I finally find some tan and clear. Is the tan dark enough to hide the grey? Am I better off with two coats verses one of this particular stuff or is it going to be bad either way?

Thanks in advance for the input.

I'm pretty sure nobody's tried layering these colors, but some of you have more experience with this stuff than I do. I don't know enough to foresee any problems that would be obvious to others. Any thoughts about this idea at all?

Isn't you concrete already grey? So I see no problems using the grey epoxy as a base and the tan as the top coat. You might just need 1 extra tan topcoat before the clear. You'll know after it dries if you need the extra tan topcoat.

Good point about the grey concrete. I did, believe it or not, realize the concrete was grey, which is another strike against grey in my book. I want to see a difference when I'm done. I know flakes are spread last, but has anybody spread them between coats and if so, can you see the fleck color through the top color coat? I'm trying to determine how much you can see through a layer of epoxy to know what tan on grey will end up looking like.

thanks for the reply
