The basic premise behind a color flake epoxy system is to create a random speckled pattern of multiple flake colors giving an overall uniform appearance but without the consistent monotone effect of a painted or single color.
This helps in hiding small debris, dirt, chips or dust which may end up on the floor.
The concrete which will be coated must be overall smooth and solid.
