Random Cut Colored Glitter Flakes
Random Cut Colored Glitter Flakes are a unique and exciting polyester product that adds a diamond like sparkle to any flake floor, creating a luxurious dazzle pizzazz that will catch the light and eye of everyone who has the pleasure of viewing your masterpiece!
Can be used with any epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurea and urethane flooring project and mixed into any chip/flake blend for that extra “wow” look. Random Cut Colored Glitter is lightweight, averaging 1/8″ (.125″) in size and sold in 1 lb bags.
They are typically mixed with other flakes to add that something “Extra” and make the floor “Pop”. Suggested mix ratio of Random Cut Colored Glitter Flakes is +/- 3% – 5% of total lbs of chips/flakes used in your project. Since glitter is lighter than vinyl chips you get more impact with less.
Example floor using 40 lbs chips/flakes, suggested usage is 1 to 2 lbs of Random Cut Colored Glitter. For full broadcast Random Cut Glitter recommend 1 lb every 15 sq’.
How To Apply?
Use of Random Cut Glitter requires a 2 topcoat process vs normal flakes as they do not lie as flat as vinyl chips will after being broadcast but tend to stick up randomly through the coating. When your basecoat is ready for the 1st topcoat, use a 100 grit pole sander or equivalent to knock down the Random Cut Glitter. Do not recommend scraping this step as they don’t knock off easily and don’t recommend an industrial sander as it is too aggressive in this step.
Apply 1st topcoat at 120 to 150 sq’/gallon depending on how much Random Cut Glitter was applied. Then when the 1st topcoat is ready to be topcoated, use a scraper and then industrial sander to knock down remaining glitter still sticking up through 1st topcoat. Apply 2nd topcoat at 200 to 250 sq’/gallon.
Note: Flake orders are custom made at the time of order placement. Due to this, flake orders are NOT eligible for return.

What is random cut colored glitter for epoxy floor coatings?
Random cut colored glitter is a decorative polyester additive designed to be broadcast into epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, or polyurea floor coating systems to create a bright, diamond-like sparkle effect.
How do you apply glitter to epoxy or polyaspartic floors?
Use of Random Cut Glitter requires a 2 topcoat process vs normal flakes as they do not lie as flat as vinyl chips will after being broadcast but tend to stick up randomly through the coating. When your basecoat is ready for the 1st topcoat, use a 100 grit pole sander or equivalent to knock down the Random Cut Glitter. Do not recommend scraping this step as they don’t knock off easily and don’t recommend an industrial sander as it is too aggressive in this step.
Apply 1st topcoat at 120 to 150 sq’/gallon depending on how much Random Cut Glitter was applied. Then when the 1st topcoat is ready to be top coated, use a scraper and then industrial sander to knock down remaining glitter still sticking up through 1st topcoat. Apply 2nd topcoat at 200 to 250 sq’/gallon.
How much glitter should I add to epoxy flakes?
Most installers use 3–5% glitter by weight of total flake used. For example, 40 lbs of flakes typically requires 1–2 lbs of glitter. For a full broadcast of Random Cut Glitter it is recommended 1lb every 15 sq’.
Will glitter make my epoxy floor slippery?
No. When properly encapsulated with a clear topcoat, glitter does not affect slip resistance. Anti-slip additives can be added if needed. For a full list of anti-slip options, check out our Anti-Slip page.
Can glitter be used in garage floor coatings?
Yes. Random cut glitter is commonly used in garage floor epoxy and polyaspartic systems to enhance decorative appeal without affecting performance. The random cut glitter adds a unique and exciting touch that adds a diamond like sparkle to any flake floor creating an extra “wow” look.
Can glitter be used in outdoor polyaspartic coatings?
Yes, when encapsulated properly. For outdoor applications, ensure UV-stable topcoats are used to maintain long-term clarity. For our best UV polyaspartic topcoat options, check out our Polyaspartic Coatings page.
What’s the difference between random cut glitter and glitter powder?
Random cut glitter is larger (approximately 1/8”) and broadcast like flake. Glitter powder is finer and mixed directly into coatings for a subtle shimmer effect.
