Decorative Flakes 450g Blue Blend

The AutoTech decorative flakes in the blue blend add colour and texture to an epoxy floor coating. Each 450g bag is a pre-mixed blend of blue, black and white vinyl chips that you broadcast over the wet epoxy coat, where they bond permanently into the cured film. The result is a floor with depth and a subtle slip-resistant grip instead of a flat single-colour finish. The blue blend is the flake pack featured in the AutoTech Manhattan kit.

What You Need To Complete The Job

Decorative flakes go over a wet epoxy coat, so you need the coating itself first. Pair them with the Manhattan epoxy floor coating kit or another kit in the epoxy range, roll the coating on, and broadcast the flakes while it is still wet. If you prefer a neutral floor, the grey blend flakes are the alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much area does a 450g bag cover?

Coverage depends on how dense you want the finish. A light broadcast covers about 8 to 10 m2 per bag, a medium broadcast about 5 to 8 m2, and a full broadcast about 3 to 5 m2. For a single garage bay, one bag at medium density is a good starting point.

Do I need a topcoat over the flakes?

Not always. At light to medium density the flakes sit in the epoxy and cure with it. At full density, a clear topcoat helps lock in any loose chips and gives a smoother, glossier finish.

Which epoxy kits do the blue flakes suit?

The blue blend is the flake pack featured in the AutoTech Manhattan kit, and it works with the other AutoTech solvent-based epoxy kits as well. Check the colour of your coating and pick the blend that gives the look you want.

How do I apply the flakes?

Roll the epoxy coat on evenly, then broadcast the flakes by hand while the coat is still wet. Let the epoxy cure, sweep away any loose flakes, and optionally seal with a clear topcoat. The flakes that stay become a permanent part of the floor.

Are the flakes suitable for outdoor use?

The flakes suit concrete floors in sheltered or weather-protected areas, such as patios and walkways that carry an epoxy coating. They are not a floor surface on their own; they are always broadcast into a wet epoxy film.
