Approximate Starting Pricing
Metallic Epoxy Systems run approximately $12 to $17 per square foot. That range is a starting point — final pricing depends on the project detail, square footage, and the condition of the slab, and is confirmed in your written quote.
Why Metallic Costs More Than Flake
Metallic epoxy uses specialty shimmering pigments and a multi-step application that creates the flowing, marbled movement the finish is known for. The pigment, the application technique, and the careful control of how the material moves while it cures all add labor and material cost compared to a flake broadcast.
What Affects the Final Price
Square footage is the biggest lever — larger floors can bring the per-square-foot cost down. The amount of preparation the slab needs, the complexity of the color and movement you want, and the condition of the concrete all factor in. A floor needing old-coating removal or crack repair costs more than a clean, sound slab.
Where It Pays Off
Metallic epoxy is most often chosen for living areas, basements, showrooms, and feature floors where the decorative value justifies the investment. For a working garage, a flake system delivers durability at a lower cost. We help you choose the right system for the space and the budget.
