Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Color of Epoxy Floors
- Base Coat Application
The initial epoxy coating was applied as the foundation. However, a change in color was desired, which led to the decision to apply a new topcoat for the updated look. - Selecting the Right Topcoat
To achieve the desired color shift, HI-GLOSS™ Light Reflective Urethane Topcoat was selected for its excellent hiding ability. This urethane-based product provides full coverage, ensuring that even dark base colors are effectively concealed with minimal layers. - Applying the Urethane Topcoat
The topcoat was applied using a squeegee to spread the material evenly, followed by smoothing it out with a roller. This ensures a smooth, consistent finish that completely transforms the floor's appearance. - Achieving the Desired Result
After application, HI-GLOSS™ urethane topcoat completely covered the original dark epoxy color, leaving the floor with a bright and clean finish that matched the new aesthetic.
Why Choose HI-GLOSS™ Urethane Topcoat?
