Epoxy floor coatings are usually two parts: they are usually a combination of solid based, solvent based or water based solutions. Epoxy flooring consists of a Resin part and a Hardener part much like epoxy glue. Epoxy coatings cure and do not dry like paint does. Unlike paint, the mixing of the two components starts a reactive process that creates cross-linking of the components while it cures. This cross-linking provides a very hard and durable surface that seals the concrete and is resistant to staining, abrasion, and chemicals.

Epoxy Floor Painting - Good To Know
Important information:
Lighter colors do not cover as well as darker colors especially if you are painting over an existing darker coating. The same applies to epoxy flooring on your concrete floor.
We strongly recommend that you use the epoxy floor primer first. If not using the primer order at least 20% extra to apply the epoxy floor paint thicker to ensure you do not get any concrete bleed through.
When using Water Based Epoxy or Epoxy less than 10 Mils thick you will have a high risk of concrete bleed through or a finish that has no luster that will look rather pale in comparison to a thick 100% solids based aliphatic epoxy.
Why? Because water based epoxies contain up to 50% of water content so when the water evaporates out of the coating during the curing process you have only about half the amount of paint you started with left on your floor.This can contribute to poor coverage and poor durability.
Every concrete floor is different. Some can be very porous or absorbent and take more material than normal to coat. Most floors are not a problem for thick epoxies but there are always exceptions. Our rule of thumb is to have a 10% safety margin of material when buying epoxy floor paint.
If your floor was finished in a rough broom type finish it will use up more material than normal. We recommend that clients plan for these costs when requesting an estimate.
Also, if your garage or shop has a curb around the perimeter and you want to finish that with the epoxy floor paint keep in mind these curbs will consume a lot more paint than normal especially if your floor is constructed of block.
Some colors are much more expensive than others (such as bright red.)
Customers always ask why is bright red costs substantially more. The reason is that red pigments are much much more expensive than other pigments and to achieve a deep vibrant red look it takes a lot of pigment. Contrary to what many clients may think, bright red does not cover very well, so you need more paint than normal. The same applies for bright white, black and yellow pigments.
When requesting a bright white or high gloss black floor please keep in mind that they will show dust and dirt more than other colors. Black and white floors have a very dramatic look to them as long as you are comfortable with additional upkeep to keep them clean.
When doing a shop floor whether it's in your garage, basement or commercial setting we recommend not using color flakes. Color flake floors can become challenging if you drop a small part or screw on it, as it will be very difficult to find.
When using flakes you must use a clear topcoat and not a pigmented one. So it's essential you have the thickest epoxy coating possible when using colored flakes for any floor application. You want as much epoxy paint under the flakes as possible.
