Marbleized metallic pigments poured and moved by hand — no two floors alike, finished under a crystal-clear polyaspartic topcoat.
Metallic epoxy starts as clear resin loaded with mica-fine metallic pigment. Poured across the slab, the pigments drift, sink and bloom as our installers work the surface with brushes, rollers and air — veining it like stone, rippling it like water, or clouding it like smoke. When the look is right, it cures in place, and a clear UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat locks the artwork under a wear layer built for real life.
The foundation is anything but decorative. We open the slab by diamond grinding, repair every crack, and set a moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat before a drop of metallic goes down — the same VOC-free chemistry and bonding profile that carries our garage floors. The glamour is the top millimeter; the engineering is everything underneath.
Day one is pure preparation — diamond grinding to a bonding profile, rigid crack repair, and the moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat. Over the following days the metallic coats are poured one at a time and manipulated while wet: base field first, then accent pours feathered in for veins and movement. Each layer needs its controlled cure window before the next touches it — that patience is exactly what the finish buys.
The final day belongs to the clear UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, which deepens the colors and takes the wear. Gloss is standard; satin on request. Weighing it against flake or solid color? The LA epoxy guide compares all three honestly.
Metallic is the top of our range at $12.50–$18.50 per square foot installed — a two-car garage up to 400 sq ft runs $5,000–$7,400. The price reflects days of skilled hand work, not just material. Projects start at $2,600, and interiors are quoted from a free on-site measure.
Because the look depends on a controlled cure. Each hand-poured metallic coat has to be manipulated while wet and then left to set undisturbed before the next layer goes down — rush that window and the movement muddies. Grinding and repairs happen on day one, the metallic pours over the middle days, and the clear topcoat finishes the schedule.
It will be in the same color family but never identical — that is the point. The pigments flow and settle differently on every slab, so your floor is a one-off. We agree on base and accent colors and the overall movement style up front, then the pour makes it yours alone.
Metallic installs at $12.50 to $18.50 per square foot in Los Angeles, so a two-car garage up to 400 sq ft runs $5,000 to $7,400. It is the most labor-intensive system we pour, and the free on-site measure sets the exact figure.
Yes. Under the artwork it is the same build as our other systems: diamond grinding, a moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat, and a clear UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat over the metallic layers. It handles hot-tire pickup, jack stands and chemicals, and residential installs carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Anywhere the floor is part of the design: showroom garages, living rooms and kitchens in modern homes, retail sales floors, salons, barbershops and offices. For pure utility spaces where looks matter less, flake or solid color delivers the same protection for less.
