Ye your supose to cover the whole floor with the flakes too 👌🤣

Your friends were quoted 3-5k because they use actual epoxy resin. The product you are using will most likely peel in a year adding little to no value to your home. Still a great finished product but you get what you pay for and the people quoting your friends are most likely offering a quality product that has 10x the durability of what you put down on your floor.

You should add an epoxy resin clear coat on the floors. It would make it more polished looking, extremely durable, and the flakes would look more like stars against the black background since there’d be a clear layer on top; instead of flakes that stick out.

The floor looks great. I would have taped the walls for nice clean lines.

It won't last. You need to rent a diamond edge blade to use on concrete during prep to get a clean surface to bond. Always remember to test your floor for humidity level as not all garage floors have vapor barrier underneath and the epoxy won't last

@@tomjrs3625 not necessarily, if there is any sort of top coat on the floor (like a urethane) it wont bond well at all. Epoxy also should not be layered on top of an already existing epoxy surface without being grinded down. The reason companies charge a lot is because it is done the right way. For epoxy to last the concrete has to be hit with a grinder. There is no replacement for grinding a floor, there is a reason people do it at home for 500$ and companies charge thousands. There is a big difference.

When you throw the accent sparkles you should through up in the air so it spreads out and lands naturally and even. As seen, in some areas you have gobbles of sparkles.

Looks awesome! Usually having a company do it, they'll use higher quality materials not found in the box stores, and it won't ever chip or fade because it'll be a poured epoxy. Thicker than rolling it on. The prep work is usually more intense as well. You get what you pay for 😁

Just did my garage. I put two coats of clear sealant on top of the flakes and epoxy looks better and not crunchy any more from stepping on the flakes. I also used an cleaner to get rid of the old epoxy, similar to what you used but it gets the pad cleaned to pretty much bare concrete without using a grinder. My kit specified not to apply over old epoxy

This epoxy method is a quick way to dress up a garage and make it look a lot better but it won’t last long term. The reason people were quoted between 3 and 5 thousand for their garages is because when done right they grind the entire garage floor and use high quality epoxy with hardener and a top coat.

It looks really good! I used the seal krete acrylic one part epoxy and it didn’t looks as glossy as his did when going on initially

Definitely looks nice! Did the same thing to the floor in my workroom. One recommendation is to put the clearcoat over that. Smooths it all out to make it look nice and glossy, plus it cleans up super easy that way. I assume without the clearcoat the flakes probably wear down faster with nothing protecting them. No clue why they don't include the clearcoat in the kit already, aside from the obvious answer that you think you're buying a whole kit then after you realize you have to give them another $100.

It’s only as strong as the coating underneath. You should’ve prepped the concrete more and removed the previous epoxy.

The reason it's more expensive when you pay a company is because it's a higher quality product and prep. They grind the floor to ensure adhesion, it's Commerical grade, more paint chips, and clear coat. I've done it myself and I've seen it done professionally, it's not the same.

Wait... so after you put the glitter on... you don't put a TOP coat/sealer on it? Or more epoxy? That crazy good. Turned out so Beautiful.
