Leggari Custom Epoxy Floor Kit Review
A configurator-driven kit for a DIYer chasing a specific metallic or marbled look, not a quick grab-a-box purchase.
Best for a DIYer chasing a specific metallic or marbled look
The color/component configurator gives real design control that fixed pre-blended kits don't, at the cost of a slower, more research-heavy buying process and no single sticker price.
What's in the box
Don't confuse this with Leggari's bare "Metallic Epoxy (Clear)" product, which is just the epoxy resin sold alone. The Custom Epoxy Floor Kit is the actual complete system: you pick a primer color (black, brown, light gray, or white — or substitute a vapor barrier product in place of primer if moisture is a concern), a base coat epoxy color, a metallic or solid highlight color, and optionally a urethane topcoat and a grit additive for slip resistance. Leggari emails step-by-step installation tutorial videos to the address used at checkout once you buy, which matters more here than on a simpler kit since the technique for working metallic pigment is the hardest part of the job.
Real coverage math
The configurator scales from small touch-up sizes (30 oz) up to a 6,750 sq ft project, with component sizes from 30 oz through 3 gallon. Because it's fully custom, there's no single published price — you'll see a running total build as you select colors and sizes in their calculator, so budget time to actually configure it before you can compare cost against a fixed-price kit like Spartan or ArmorGarage.
Application walkthrough
This is a primer-then-base-then-highlight-then-optional-topcoat system, and the highlight (metallic) coat is the step that separates a good result from a muddy one. Metallic pigment needs to be worked while the epoxy is still fully wet and open — using a squeegee, brush, and sometimes compressed air or a heat gun to move the pigment and create the marbled cells — which means you're racing the pot life in a way a flake broadcast doesn't require. Watch Leggari's own tutorial videos before you start, not after you've already poured your first section; the technique is genuinely different from a standard roll-and-chip application and harder to improvise.
Pros
- Real color/finish customization instead of a fixed pre-blended kit
- Manufacturer sends step-by-step video tutorials matched to your specific kit at checkout
- Distinct primer, vapor-barrier, and topcoat options let you tailor the system to a problem slab, not just a look
Cons
- No fixed price — you have to run the configurator to know what you're actually paying
- Metallic application technique is the hardest of any finish covered in this roundup; a bad first attempt is more likely than with a flake system
- More decisions up front (primer, base, highlight, topcoat) than a grab-and-go kit — plan on real research time before ordering
Alternatives
- Stone Coat Flooring Epoxy Midcoat (Metallic) — another metallic-capable system, sold as a simpler 15-gallon bundle instead of a per-component configurator
- ArmorGarage Armor Chip Garage Epoxy Kit — a flake broadcast finish is meaningfully more forgiving to apply than a metallic pour if this is your first coating project

FAQ
Is this the same as Leggari's "Metallic Epoxy (Clear)" product?
No — that's just the bare epoxy resin sold alone. This Custom Epoxy Floor Kit is the full system: primer, base coat, metallic or solid highlight, and optional topcoat, configured together.
Why isn't there a listed price?
It's a configurator product — price depends on your square footage and which primer/base/highlight/topcoat combination you choose, so there's no single SKU price to quote.
Is a metallic epoxy floor harder to DIY than a flake floor?
Yes, meaningfully. Working the metallic pigment while the epoxy is still open requires technique (tooling, sometimes a heat gun or compressed air) that a flake broadcast doesn't need. Watch the manufacturer's tutorial videos before your first pour.
Does the kit include a topcoat?
Topcoat is an optional add-on in the configurator, not automatically included — decide during checkout whether you want one bundled in.
