Metallic Dream Epoxy | Premium Designer Metallic Resin

Metallic Dream Epoxy is a professional grade, 100% solids epoxy system engineered specifically for high-end metallic floor applications. Unlike standard resins, this is a design driven system that provides the extended open time necessary to create one of a kind floors with incredible depth, flowing movement, and a mirror-like high gloss finish.

Used in residential living spaces, showrooms, and retail environments, Metallic Dream delivers the perfect balance of workability, artistic control, and visual impact.

The Metallic Dream Advantage: 60 Minutes of Control

Metallic epoxy is an art form, and art takes time. Most failures occur when the resin "locks up" too quickly, leaving harsh roller marks and stagnant patterns. Metallic Dream Epoxy is formulated to stay fluid for up to 60 minutes, allowing installers to:

• Manipulate Movement: Soften and blend colors using a Magic Trowel without the resin tacking up.
• Minimize Bubbles: Extended leveling time allows air to escape more efficiently.
• Achieve 3D Depth: High-build, 100% solids chemistry creates the "thick" look that makes metallic pigments pop.

The Professional System Build

1. The Foundation: Concrete must be mechanically ground. For porous slabs, use our Water Based Epoxy Primer to prevent outgassing.
2. The Base Coat: Apply a solid pigmented base using our 100% Solids Self Leveling Epoxy. Black is the industry standard for maximum contrast.
3. The Money Coat: Apply Metallic Dream mixed with your chosen pigments. Manipulate the surface with an 18-inch Magic Trowel for an organic, marble-like flow.
4. The Shield: Finish with Premera T2 Topcoat for elite scratch resistance that preserves the high gloss shine.

Mixing and Application Guidelines

Pro Tip: Never "whip" the product. Mixing at high speeds traps micro-bubbles in the resin that can ruin a glass-finish floor. Use a low-speed paddle mixer and ensure pigments are fully dispersed before pouring.

• Coverage: Approximately 150 sq. ft. per kit (50 sq. ft. per gallon for proper flow).
• Mix Speed: Keep drill under 300 RPM.
• Working Time: Up to 60 minutes on the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is metallic epoxy durable?
Yes. When protected with a high-performance topcoat like Premera T2, metallic floors are highly durable and suitable for both residential and high-traffic commercial interiors.

Do I need to use a black base coat?
Black is the preferred base because it acts as a "canvas" that makes metallic colors appear more vibrant and 3-dimensional. However, other colors can be used for custom aesthetic effects.

Is every metallic floor different?
Yes. Because the epoxy shifts and levels as it cures, no two floors can ever be identical. Each installation is a unique piece of custom art.

Can I use multiple metallic colors?
Absolutely. Professionals often use a primary color and 1-2 accent colors to create dynamic, marble-like movement and visual interest.

Is this system beginner friendly?
No. Metallic epoxy requires a deep understanding of timing and flow. We recommend practicing on sample boards before attempting a full-scale floor.

How much working time do I have?
Metallic Dream provides up to 60 minutes of open time, giving you the longest window in the industry to manipulate your design.

What topcoat should I use?
We highly recommend Nukote Premera T2 Topcoat Gloss. High-gloss floors show scratches easily; Premera T2 provides a glass-hard shield that protects the aesthetic.
