Metallic Epoxy Floor Kits
Metallic Epoxy Floor System — Kits, Coatings & Colors
A metallic epoxy floor is a seamless, high-gloss concrete coating that uses metallic pigments to reflect light instead of absorbing it — creating the depth, movement, and “liquid metal” look no two floors share. McKinnon's system pairs our 100% solids industrial epoxy with Aurora Epoxy Dust metallic pigments and a protective topcoat to deliver that finish on garage, basement, showroom, retail, and residential floors.
We've manufactured concrete coatings for over 50 years, and we make this product ourselves — so you're buying factory-direct from the source, with the technical support to back it. Homeowner doing your own garage or contractor installing for clients, you buy direct: no territory to purchase, no distributor markup.
Built to resist UV.
Metallic epoxy is known for one weakness — yellowing in sunlight. Our epoxy is formulated with high UV resistance, and when paired with our topcoats it reaches maximum UV resistance, so your floor holds its color far longer than a bare epoxy pour.
What is a metallic epoxy floor?
A metallic epoxy floor is made by blending a metallic pigment (Aurora Epoxy Dust) into a clear 100% solids epoxy, then troweling and rolling it over prepared concrete. As the epoxy cures, the pigments move and settle to create marbled, swirling effects — so every floor is one of a kind, shaped by the installer's technique. The finished surface is glossy, hard-wearing, and easy to clean, which is why metallic epoxy floors are popular in offices, garages, bars, retail stores, and homes.
Metallic epoxy garage, basement & showroom floors
The most popular use is the metallic epoxy garage floor — the reflective finish brightens the space and stands up to vehicle traffic, while the seamless surface wipes clean of oil and spills. The same system works beautifully in basements, retail and showroom floors, man caves, and commercial interiors. Because it's a coating over existing concrete, you're transforming the slab you already have rather than replacing it.
Choose your metallic epoxy floor color
Aurora Epoxy Dust comes in a wide range of metallic colors that can be intermixed or custom-ordered for unlimited variations — from popular black metallic epoxy floors to copper, gunmetal, pearl, blue, and white. Because the primer color, mixing, and loading all influence the final look, you control the result. Browse the color chart below and order the exact pigments for your design.
How much does a metallic epoxy floor cost?
Cost comes down to three things: your square footage, the colors and number of coats, and whether you install it yourself or hire a contractor. Doing it yourself with a kit is by far the lowest-cost route because you skip labor — typically the largest line item on an installed quote.

FAQ
What is a metallic epoxy floor?
A metallic epoxy floor is a high-gloss concrete coating made by mixing metallic pigment into clear 100% solids epoxy, then troweling it over concrete. The pigments reflect light to create a marbled, three-dimensional finish, and no two floors look alike.
How much does a metallic epoxy floor cost?
The cost depends on square footage, colors and coats, and whether you DIY or hire an installer. Installing a kit yourself is the lowest-cost option because it removes labor. McKinnon shows kit pricing up front and includes a resin calculator for an exact material estimate.
Can I install a metallic epoxy floor myself?
Yes. Metallic epoxy is DIY-friendly. McKinnon sells complete metallic epoxy floor kits with the primer, epoxy, Aurora pigment, topcoat, installation guide, and how-to videos needed to do it yourself.
Do metallic epoxy floors yellow or fade in sunlight?
Bare epoxy can amber over time in direct UV, which is metallic epoxy's main weakness. McKinnon's epoxy is formulated with high UV resistance, and paired with our topcoat it reaches maximum UV resistance — so the floor holds its color far longer than an unprotected pour.
How long does a metallic epoxy floor last?
A properly installed and top coated metallic epoxy floor lasts many years, even in high-traffic areas. A UV-resistant topcoat protects the color and finish and extends its life; recoating periodically refreshes it.
What are the disadvantages of metallic epoxy flooring?
The main drawbacks are UV yellowing on bare epoxy in direct sun, the need for proper concrete prep, and a learning curve for the artistic effect. A UV-resistant
topcoat solves the yellowing, kits with instructions handle the technique, and
prep guidance handles the rest.
Is a metallic epoxy floor slippery?
A metallic epoxy floor has a smooth, glossy finish that can be slick when wet. Adding a non-skid/anti-slip additive to the topcoat gives it traction for garages, entries, and wet areas.
Where can I use a metallic epoxy floor?
Metallic epoxy is for interior concrete — garages, basements, showrooms, retail stores, offices, bars, and homes. It is not recommended for wood or for exterior
surfaces in constant direct sun.
What colors does metallic epoxy come in?
McKinnon's Aurora Epoxy Dust comes in a wide range of metallic colors — including black, copper, gunmetal, pearl, blue, and white — that can be intermixed or custom-ordered for unlimited variations.
