Broadcast Chip System — Arizona Garages & Commercial Floors
Greg Kaiser installs color flake epoxy using Westcoat's 100% solids EC system — no fillers, no volatile solvents, USDA compliant. The same professional-grade product used in commercial and institutional floors. Built for Arizona heat, UV, and daily vehicle traffic.
Materials: Westcoat Professional Systems ↗1The Westcoat EC Color Flake System
Westcoat's EC-series is 100% solids epoxy — meaning every drop of material cures into coating. No filler compounds. No volatile solvents evaporating away. You get the full specified mil thickness, full chemical resistance, and full impact strength. This matters in Arizona because heat and UV attack fillers first — 100% solids doesn't have that weakness.
- 100% solids — no fillers, no volatile solvents
- USDA compliant — safe for food-adjacent environments
- Self-leveling base coat for a smooth, seamless field
- Full broadcast chip options — partial scatter to 100% coverage
- UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals the chips
- Chemical resistant — oil, gas, brake fluid, cleaning agents
- Impact resistant — handles daily vehicle and equipment traffic
- Unique metallic effect available within the EC system

2The DnD Installation Process
The flake system is only as good as the prep underneath. Greg diamond-grinds every slab before a single drop of epoxy goes down — this creates the mechanical profile that makes the coating bond permanently instead of sitting on the surface. Every crack and divot is patched. Then the Westcoat EC base goes down, chips broadcast, topcoat sealed. That's the whole job.
- Diamond grinding — mechanical surface profile, not acid wash
- Crack and spall repair before any coating
- Westcoat EC 100% solids base coat — full mil thickness
- Chip broadcast at your chosen density
- Back-roll to embed chips into wet base
- UV-stable clear topcoat — seals chips, adds gloss and slip resistance

Color Flake FAQs
Straight answers about the Westcoat chip system.
Q.What is color flake epoxy flooring?
Color flake (also called broadcast chip or decorative flake) epoxy is a system where vinyl color chips are broadcast into a wet epoxy base coat, then sealed with a clear topcoat. The result is a floor with depth, texture, and natural slip resistance. It's one of the most popular garage floor finishes in Arizona because it hides minor surface imperfections and is extremely durable under vehicle and foot traffic.
Q.What epoxy system does DnD use for color flake installs?
Greg uses Westcoat's EC-series 100% solids epoxy — no fillers, no volatile solvents, USDA compliant. The 100% solids formulation means the coating doesn't shrink as it cures, so you get the full mil thickness you paid for. This is the same professional-grade system used in commercial and institutional installations — not the consumer epoxy kits from hardware stores.
Q.How does color flake hold up in Arizona's heat?
Arizona's extreme heat — 110°F+ ambient, 160°F+ surface temperatures — destroys cheap epoxy systems. Westcoat's 100% solids EC system is formulated for this environment. We also apply a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat over the flake layer that protects against the solar yellowing and hot tire pickup that plague inferior products. Greg's color flake floors are built for Arizona summers specifically.
Q.Can I choose my chip colors and flake density?
Yes — Westcoat offers a wide range of chip colors and blend options, from subtle neutral mixes to bold commercial palettes. Flake density ranges from a light scatter (more base color showing) to a full broadcast (almost total flake coverage). Greg will walk you through the options and show you samples from real installs — not just color cards.
Q.How long does color flake installation take?
A standard 2-car garage (400–600 sq ft) typically takes 1–2 days: Day 1 for diamond grinding and surface prep, Day 2 for epoxy base, flake broadcast, and topcoat. Cure time before light foot traffic is typically 24 hours; vehicle traffic depends on the topcoat system used. We confirm exact timelines based on ambient temperature on installation day.
Q.Is color flake available for commercial spaces?
Absolutely — color flake is a popular choice for auto shops, gyms, light manufacturing, retail, and commercial kitchens. The full broadcast (100% chip coverage) system creates a seamless, chemically resistant surface that hides dirt and damage well in high-traffic environments. Westcoat's EC system is impact resistant and chemical resistant — built for commercial demands.
