In Response To: Epoxy: Tinting (Patrick North)

I'm thinking of using tinted epoxy for the interior of a strip build (exterior will be finished bright) instead of paint. I want the color for aesthetic reasons and have found that paint just isn't durable enough for this application.

What color do you want?

Black is pretty easy to do with either black iron oxide or SystemThree color additive (or both).

The SystemThree color additives are quite intense, so worth a try if you are looking for 'primary colors'.
(Expensive, though a small jar will go quite far....)
