A failed epoxy job gets torn down and rebuilt into a 2,000-square-foot showpiece.

Leggari Products picked up right where its first installment left off, walking viewers through the back half of a full residential epoxy resurfacing job. The homeowners’ original floor had been coated once before, but it never came close to industrial-grade standards and started breaking down — so instead of patching it, they tore it out and started over with Leggari’s system. Part 2 covers the pour, the color work, and the topcoat that locks the whole thing in.

  • Leggari, founded by Tim Krumland and Tylor Svangren, used a silver base coat with black highlights and “liquid diamonds” dispersing effects to create cell patterns that mimic natural stone across the 2,000-square-foot floor.
  • The video is chaptered by task: mixing epoxy (0:49), applying epoxy (4:29), mixing the urethane topcoat (30:10), applying the topcoat (34:51), removing perimeter tape (53:57), and the final reveal (55:34).
  • The urethane topcoat has to go on within 24 hours of the epoxy pour to bond properly — miss that window and the crew would have had to sand the surface before coating it.

Laying Down the Metallic Base

Once the primer had cured tacky to the touch, the crew mixed the pre-measured silver base coat and poured it out in sections across the floor. Rubber squeegees pushed the resin into an even film, and a quick pass with a paint roller — back-rolling — knocked down ridges the self-leveling epoxy couldn’t smooth out on its own. That combination of squeegee work followed by back-rolling is standard on any epoxy pour this size; skip either step and the finish reads uneven once it cures.

With the base down, the black highlight color came next. Rather than pouring it flat, the installers introduced it in controlled amounts and worked it into the silver with squeegees and the liquid diamonds dispersing technique — a method that pushes the two colors apart at the edges to form the cell-like veining you’d normally only get from polished stone or marble. Getting that pattern right is as much feel as formula, which is why Leggari builds an entire chapter of the video around it.

Apply the urethane topcoat within 24 hours of the epoxy pour, or the surface has to be sanded before it will bond.

The Topcoat Window

Timing drives the second half of the install. Leggari’s urethane topcoat comes in gloss or matte, and the crew mixed and rolled it out thin across the cured metallic base starting at the 30:10 mark. Rolling it thin matters — a heavier coat adds texture and wear resistance, but overdo it and the finish loses the glass-like clarity that sells the whole floor. The 24-hour bonding window is the hard deadline behind the entire schedule; miss it and the job requires sanding before the topcoat will grip.

Tape removal at 53:57 is the moment the perimeter lines finally come off and the room starts to look finished, setting up the reveal five minutes later. Homeowners tackling a similar job themselves can find the surface-prep groundwork — diamond grinding, etching, or Leggari’s Prep Replacement Primer for floors that can’t be ground at all — covered in Part 1 of this installation series, which walks through everything that happens before a drop of epoxy hits the floor.

Defined Warranty Coverage Terms

Leggari backs the finished system with a lifetime warranty against delamination, chipping, and cracking — the same failures that doomed the homeowners’ original floor. That guarantee is the company’s answer to why a full tear-out and redo made more sense than a patch job on a coating that was already failing industrial-grade wear tests. For anyone comparing epoxy against other flooring overhaul projects, the sequencing here — prep, prime, base, highlight, topcoat, all within tight time windows — mirrors the same kind of trade-by-trade discipline seen in bigger interior jobs like this interior painting transformation, where getting each layer right before the next one goes down determines whether the finish holds up.

The reveal at 55:34 shows a floor with a glossy, marbled finish running edge to edge across all 2,000 square feet — silver and black cells with no visible seams, no tape lines, and none of the delamination that sent the homeowners back to square one in the first place. Leggari built its floor kits to be finished in two days flat, and this install stuck to that clock from primer to final gloss.
