Full Flake
First, a base coat of direct-to-concrete industrial epoxy is put on the surface to make a strong bond with the concrete. After the epoxy is applied, the floor is then fully broadcast with the flakes of your choosing, including custom colors! Finally, a coat of clear polyurea is applied to give the finish a wet look shine that will last for many years to come.
The full flake system is resistant to oil, chemicals, hot tire pickup, and much more. This is a durable solution for many needs, including industrial, residential, interior, and exterior applications. This is the most durable coating we offer, which gives it resistance to failure in high traffic areas and with heavy cars and equipment passing over it.
There are many DIY kits that claim to do the same; however, the product is often misleading, and while it is an epoxy, it is more often than not water-based rather than the industrial epoxies we offer. DIY solutions will often fail within a few years due to improper preparation as well. The diamond grinding we do first is what gives our product the grip that will hold on for over 10 years!
Partial Flake
First, a base coat of direct-to-concrete industrial epoxy is put on the surface to make a strong bond with the concrete. After the epoxy is applied, the floor is then partially broadcast with the flakes of your choosing, including custom colors!
This is a durable option that adds more durability and accents to a solid color system. A top coat of polyurea can also be added for greater strength and a wet-look shine. The partial flake epoxy we offer is heat resistant, a very durable coating, and has a wet-look shine.
There are many DIY kits of this kind specifically, and the look of this system outshines and outperforms all competition for many years to come. The concrete grinding we do before application, along with the high strength of our product, combine to give a finish to be proud of. The amount of chips we apply is also much more even and laid thicker than most other partial chip or flake systems.
Solid
There are a multitude of color options for solid-color epoxy floors in order to suit each individual's taste. When completing a solid color floor, the floor will receive the same meticulous level of preparation as each of our floors.
The floor will be diamond ground in order to allow for full adhesion of the epoxy; all cracks and holes are filled in with a specialty filler; and then the top coat of epoxy is applied evenly in order to leave the cleanest finish possible.
The solid-color epoxy we offer is hot tire resistant and a very durable coating with a wet-look shine.

Garage Floor Painting and Epoxy FAQs
What Are the Benefits and Problems with Epoxy Floor Coating?
On the plus side, epoxy floor coatings are economical, resist damage and are easy to maintain. Epoxy is also chemical resistant, which is why it is popular for garage floors. Some people see the following as the negatives:
- Epoxy floors do not muffle walking and contact noise.
- The epoxy coating feels cold like a tile floor under foot.
- Epoxy floors do not offer any non-fatiguing benefits.
- Imperfections in the underlying floor may look like ripples once epoxy paint has been applied.
When Should You Not Epoxy a Garage Floor?
Epoxy can have adhesion problems. The epoxy coating doesn't adhere well in very cold temperatures or in humid and high moisture areas like a basement or bathroom. If adhesion is poor the epoxy coating will crack and peel.
How Long Does an Epoxy Garage Floor Last vs. Painted Concrete?
An epoxy floor painted to the correct thickness will last between 10 and 20 years and require minimal maintenance. A painted concrete floor may chip and peel quickly especially in high traffic areas. That can often result in the need for yearly touch ups.
The painters at Magnum Painting Elite are very conscientious when it comes to being clean and tidy. We keep our work area clean and complete a full clean-up quickly after finishing the project.

what our customers say
Robert and his team were hired to paint my family room and some adjacent rooms. They did such a great job! They were thorough with the prep work, and covering all the furniture and moving it to the center of the room. They taped off the floors and removed all the light switch plates. Because it was a team of four, they managed to do my entire living room, bathroom, and laundry in just over five hours. After a few estimates, I believe the value for their job well done is worth it.
