Description
Description
A Soft, Muted Gray With Subtle Shimmer
Manatee Pigment delivers a gentle, understated gray metallic finish with subtle iridescent depth — a versatile neutral choice for spaces that want texture and shine without overpowering color.
Why Choose Manatee Pigment
✓ Mica-Based Formula — Premium nano-particle pigments create authentic pearlescent and iridescent effects
✓ Soft, Versatile Neutral — Adds subtle shimmer and depth without dominating the space
✓ Highly Concentrated — A little goes a long way for vivid, dramatic color
✓ Works With Any Epoxy System — Field blends easily with our 100% solids clear epoxy binder
How to Use
Mix powder with resin first before adding hardener. For the most vivid and dynamic effects, use a minimum of 4 oz of pigment per gallon of epoxy (a 3-gallon batch requires approximately 12 oz). Apply your backdrop color first using one of our colored epoxy kits at least one day prior to starting the metallic process.
Coverage
Approximately 55–60 sq ft per gallon using a 1/8" x 1/8" rubber notch squeegee or magic trowel.
