Before you pick
How to choose metallic epoxy floor colors
Most people pick a metallic color off a photo of somebody else's floor. That floor had a different resin, a different thickness, different light and a different installer. Pick from the room instead.
Start from the room, not the jar
Silvers, greys and Black Pearl give a garage, a shop or an office the depth of a metallic without making the floor the loudest thing in the room. Golds, bronzes, coffee and the browns sit well next to wood, stone and warm lighting, which is why they end up in homes, restaurants and salons. The blues, greens and violets are statement floors. They work in a bar, a showroom, a game room or a basement where the floor is meant to be the feature.
The powder is not the floor
What you see in the jar is concentrated pigment. On the floor it is suspended in clear resin, spread thin in some places and heavy in others, so the same color reads lighter, darker and more varied than the jar. Depth needs film thickness, which is why the clear base matters as much as the color you choose.
Make a sample board
Mix a small batch of the resin you will actually use, add the pigment, pour it on a scrap board and work it the way you plan to work the floor. Then look at it in the room, in daylight and at night under the real fixtures. A board costs you an hour. The wrong color costs you the floor.
Buy the whole job at once
Count your kits, buy one pod per kit, and buy them in one order. Stock moves color by color, and finding out you are one jar short with a half-poured floor is not a problem you can fix that day.
55 colors
Metallic epoxy color chart
Every metallic pigment we sell, grouped by color family. 39 colors come in the pre-measured 160 g pod, 43 in the 50 g jar, and 27 come in both. The SKU on each card is the one you will see at checkout and on your invoice. Photos show the pigment in the jar, not a finished floor, so use them to narrow the list and a sample board to decide. Stock changes by color, and the product page shows what is on the shelf today.

Blending
Metallic epoxy color combinations
A single color already moves and shifts on the floor. Two colors give you contrast, and contrast is what makes the veining read from across the room.
Pair a light with a dark
Combinations work when the two colors are far apart in value. Silver Pearl with Black Pearl Metallic, Royal Gold with Coffee, Cambridge Blue with Cobalt Blue, Satin White with Luster Grey. Two mid-tones of similar weight tend to mud together into one flat shade.
Split the dose, do not double it
Keep the total pigment in each kit at the normal dose and split it between the colors. That is what the 50 g jars are sized for: accents, small pours and blends. The other way to layer is a second thin coat in a contrasting color while the first coat is still green, which builds depth one coat cannot.
Solid color is a different product
Metallic pigment moves and varies by design. If you need a solid-color floor, or an exact color, that is a Solid Tone Liquid Pigment Pod job, 14 colors. Talk to us before blending a Solid Tone pod into a metallic batch. We would rather make you a sample than guess.
Technique
The same color looks different depending on how it is worked
Two installers can pour the same pod in the same resin and get two different floors. Worked with a squeegee and a spiked roller in alternating directions, a metallic lays down as swirls. A leaf blower or a heat gun pushes the pigment into different patterns again. How thick it goes down changes the look too, because the depth effect needs film thickness to develop.
We do not repeat the steps here. The full sequence, from grinding and moisture testing to the base coat and topcoat, is in How to Install a Metallic Epoxy Floor. For what a metallic floor has to do in a retail space or lobby, read Showroom and Retail Metallic Epoxy Floors.
Dosing
How much metallic pigment per gallon of epoxy
One 160 g pod per 3-gallon kit of clear 100% solids epoxy base coat. That works out to about 53 g per mixed gallon, and it is why the pod is 160 g: no scale, no guessing, the same load in every kit.
- EF-Masterflow is a 4-gallon kit. Use one pod per kit, from 160 g up to 210 g for a denser metallic.
- Two kits, two pods. Dose per kit, not per job. A multi-kit pour where one batch got more pigment than the next reads as a patch you cannot blend out.
- Coverage comes from the resin. How far a kit goes is set by the resin and the thickness you pour. Work it out from the resin's product page and the coverage guide.
The base
Which epoxy metallic pigment goes in
Metallic pigment goes into a clear 100% solids epoxy. These are the clear bases we stock for metallic work. The numbers are from each product page.
| Resin | Kit and pigment | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| EF-Masterflow | 4 gal. One pod per kit, 160 g to 210 g | Built for metallic and pearlescent pigment movement. 30 to 40 min working time at 70 degrees F. 110 to 200 sq ft per kit depending on pour thickness. 94.7 GU gloss. Cycloaliphatic, resists yellowing better than standard epoxy |
| LTX-100 | 3 gal. One 160 g pod per kit | Low mixed viscosity for long open flow. 241 sq ft per kit at a 20 mil metallic pour. 20 min working time at 68 degrees F. 18,400 psi compressive |
| PPC Epoxy 100 Clear | 3 gal. One 160 g pod per kit | Zero VOC clear base for metallic and flake systems. 30 to 40 min working time on the floor. Low yellowing rate |
| EF-155 | 3 gal. One 160 g pod per kit | Super fast cure. Recoat in 2 to 4 hr at 68 degrees F. About 10 min working time at 70 degrees F, so mix only what you can place |
Whatever the base, finish with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. Epoxy ambers in sunlight, and on a metallic floor it shows. If you are weighing the two chemistries, see epoxy vs polyaspartic. Full numbers for every product are on the technical data sheets page.

Common questions
Metallic epoxy color questions
How much metallic pigment per gallon of epoxy?
One 160 g pod per 3-gallon kit of clear 100% solids epoxy, which works out to about 53 g per mixed gallon. EF-Masterflow is a 4-gallon kit and takes one pod per kit, from 160 g up to 210 g for a denser metallic. Two kits, two pods. Dose per kit, not per job, so every batch carries the same load.
How many metallic epoxy colors do you carry?
55. Thirty-nine come in the 160 g pod, 43 in the 50 g jar, and 27 come in both. Stock moves color by color, so the product page shows what is on the shelf today.
What is the difference between the 160 g pod and the 50 g jar?
Same pearlescent pigment, different pack. The 160 g pod is pre-measured to tint one full 3-gallon kit. The 50 g jar suits accents, small pours, sample boards and blends. Some colors only come in one size.
Can I mix two metallic colors in one floor?
Yes. Keep the total pigment in each kit at the normal dose and split it between the colors, which is what the 50 g jars are sized for. Another way is a second thin coat in a contrasting color while the first coat is still green. Make a sample board before you commit a floor to it.
Which epoxy do I mix metallic pigment into?
A clear 100% solids epoxy base. We stock EF-Masterflow, LTX-100 and PPC Epoxy 100 Clear for metallic work, and EF-155 when the job needs a fast recoat. Finish with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat.
Does a metallic epoxy floor need a topcoat?
Yes. Epoxy ambers in sunlight, and a metallic floor shows it. A UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat protects the color and takes the wear, and it is the layer you refresh later instead of redoing the metallic underneath.
Can I see the colors before I buy?
Yes. The pigment is on the shelf at our Pompano Beach counter, 2201 N Andrews Ave, Suite 108, Monday to Friday 8 to 5. Call (800) 413-1427 before you drive in and we will have the colors you are considering out and ready.
