Why Metallic Epoxy for South Austin

South Austin’s 78704 zip code is home to Austin’s most creative and design-conscious homeowners. The Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, and South Congress neighborhoods are known for their eclectic architecture and attention to detail. A standard chip epoxy system wouldn’t do justice to this homeowner’s vision — they wanted something that looked like a work of art.

Metallic epoxy creates a three-dimensional, flowing effect using metallic pigments suspended in a clear epoxy base. No two metallic floors are identical — each installation is unique. The midnight blue and silver system we installed in this South Austin garage creates the illusion of depth and movement, resembling a stormy ocean or liquid metal.

The Installation Process

Day 1: Diamond grinding to 200-grit profile, crack repair, moisture testing, and application of the metallic epoxy base coat with metallic pigments. Day 2: Application of the UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat with anti-slip aggregate for safety.

The Result

The South Austin homeowner now has a one-of-a-kind metallic epoxy floor that has become a conversation piece. Multiple neighbors have since contacted Austin Epoxy Flooring Pro after seeing the finished floor during neighborhood events.
