Frisco Metallic Epoxy
Metallic epoxy is the floor you install when the garage or studio is part of the house you’re proud of. Cody’s background in live-edge resin work means he understands how metallic pigments move and where they land. No two Frisco metallic floors look the same, and that’s the point.
The Showpiece Pour, Frisco Style
Metallic epoxy uses mica-based pigment suspended in a high-build epoxy base. When Cody applies it, the pigment migrates during the cure window, creating depth and movement that looks different from every angle. The slab underneath disappears. What you see instead is something closer to polished stone or poured glass.
Frisco garages, basements, home gyms, and studio spaces all work well for metallic systems. The slab needs to be in reasonable condition, properly profiled, and moisture-tested before the base coat goes down. Cody does all of this himself. No subcontractors running the critical steps.
Color combinations run from deep charcoal-and-pewter for a garage that reads masculine and serious, through warm bronze and copper for living-adjacent spaces, up to blue-teal and pearl for the customer who wants the floor to be the first thing visitors notice. Sample boards are always shown on-site before any product is mixed.
Frisco is a good fit for metallic work because the homes and businesses here tend to be newer and finished to a high standard, and a metallic floor holds its own in that setting. In the master-planned neighborhoods we pour these in finished basements, entries, home offices, and showcase garages where the owner wants something beyond a plain coating. On the commercial side, Frisco’s studios, salons, boutiques, and office spaces use metallic floors as a design feature customers notice the moment they walk in. Because the pour happens over the existing slab, you get that high-end look without a floor tear-out or a change in the room height.
The gloss level is part of the decision, and it changes the whole feel of the room. A high-gloss metallic floor reads like poured glass and throws light around, which suits a showcase garage or an entry where you want the drama. A satin finish softens the reflection and hides day-to-day dust better, which a lot of Frisco homeowners prefer for a lived-in basement or a home office. A matte topcoat pulls the shine back further for a more understated look. Cody talks through those options against the room’s lighting, because a floor that dazzles in a photo can be more reflection than you want to live with day to day.
Metallic also pairs well with the way newer Frisco homes are laid out. Open floor plans mean a basement or bonus-room floor is often visible from the stairs or the main living area, so it becomes part of the whole space rather than a hidden slab. Warmer copper and bronze tones tie into wood floors and cabinetry elsewhere in the house, while cooler pewters and blues suit the more contemporary interiors common in the newer builds. Because every pour is worked by hand, the color can be tuned to sit next to what you already have rather than fighting it.
The SEF Difference on Metallic Work
Most metallic jobs that fail do so because the applicator didn’t understand how the pigment moves. Cody spent years working with epoxy and resin at the table scale, where every flaw is visible at eye level. Floor-scale metallic is a larger canvas but the same material logic. That hands-on background is the differentiator.
What Goes Into a Frisco Metallic Floor
Diamond-grind prep to open the slab. Moisture barrier primer where needed. High-build metallic epoxy base with pigment broadcast or swirled depending on the pattern selected. Clear polyaspartic topcoat for protection and sheen. Total system thickness typically runs 25-35 mils. Cure time before foot traffic is 24 hours; full cure 7 days.
Metallic systems cost more than standard flake because the base product is more expensive and the application is slower. A standard 2-car Frisco garage in metallic is priced by slab condition and the complexity of the color pattern.

Frisco Metallic Epoxy FAQ
How much does metallic epoxy cost in Frisco?
A 2-car Frisco garage metallic is quoted firm on-site for a full metallic system with polyaspartic topcoat. Price varies based on slab condition, color complexity, and square footage.
Can metallic epoxy be used in areas other than garages?
Yes. Basements, home gyms, workshops, studios, and commercial showrooms are all common applications. Any space with a concrete slab is a candidate.
Is metallic epoxy slippery when wet?
The polyaspartic topcoat can be finished with aluminum-oxide grit for slip resistance. We recommend this in garages and any space that sees tracked-in water.
How do I pick a color combination?
Cody brings sample boards to your on-site consultation. Photos help for direction but the sample board on your actual slab under your actual lighting is always the deciding factor.
Will it hold up in the Frisco heat?
Polyaspartic topcoats are rated for continuous service at high temperatures. Hot tire pickup is not an issue with a properly applied poly layer.
Will my metallic floor look exactly like the sample board?
Close in color and character, but not identical ripple for ripple. Metallic is poured and worked by hand, and the pigment moves on its own as it cures, so every floor comes out one of a kind. The sample board shows you the color family and the general look. That uniqueness is the appeal, and it is why the person doing the pour matters as much as the product.
Why does Cody’s resin background matter for a floor?
Metallic epoxy is really a resin pour at floor scale, and the skill is in reading how the pigment is moving and knowing when to work it and when to leave it. Cody spent years doing live-edge resin tables, where every flaw shows at eye level, before he ever poured a floor. That hands-on feel is the difference between a metallic floor with real depth and one that comes out muddy.
How do I keep a metallic floor looking good?
It is easy to maintain. Dust mop or soft-broom it to keep grit off the surface, and damp mop with a mild cleaner when it needs it. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads, which can dull the topcoat over time. In a Frisco home the polyaspartic clear takes normal foot traffic and cleaning without much fuss, and if the finish ever wears down the road, we can refresh the topcoat without redoing the whole pour.
Can a metallic floor go in a Frisco basement?
Yes, and finished basements are one of the more popular spots for it here. Because the pour goes over the existing slab, it turns a plain lower-level floor into a feature without raising the floor height or tearing anything out. We do check the slab for moisture first, since below-grade concrete can hold more of it, and prime accordingly so the metallic layer bonds and stays put.
