HOW TO VIEW YOUR CUSTOM CHIP/FLAKE MIX? Use our COLOR VISUALIZER to create your own custom blend from 144 solid colors and see how it looks when broadcast into 15 room scenes pre-loaded or upload your own project photo. The Color Visualizer also allows viewing 220 different factory blends. Chips are broadcast into a colored epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic, urethane basecoat. When coating is tack free and ready to be re-coated, excess chips are cleaned off the surface and one or two coats of a clear topcoat are applied. How thick or how many topccoats required depend on amount of flakes used.
How many lbs of chips to use depends on look desired. The more chips used, less you see the basecoat color and more you see the chips. For a partial broadcast, apply chips at rate of 20 sq’ to 250 sq’ of floor coating per lb of chips.
For full broadcast to refusal it takes substantially more, 5 – 10 sq’/lb. Full broadcast means chips applied so heavy coating can’t absorb anymore and are sitting on surface
**Earth tone vinyl chip/flake colors offer long term UV stability for outdoor applications. However intense, rich and bright colors such as Lime Green, Hot Pink, Dark Blue not recommended for outdoor use as they fade and shift color over 1-2 years. For outdoor applications use Aliphatic clear coating that won’t yellow to maintain maximum UV stability.
Note: Flake orders are custom made at the time of order placement. Due to this, flake orders are NOT eligible for return. If you are not certain that you will like the selected flakes, please feel free to contact us to arrange a small sample.
