    Glossy gave it a more luxurious feel and a modern touch with the current design of that space. GLOSSY WINS šŸ† Hands down.
  • @ASageMystic
    The gloss finish is amazing! However, because of how the garage looks with the wood and stone, the matte finish actually blends in better without taking away from the rest of the garage. Great job!
  • @johnthe6629
    The matte finish would be easier to maintain but the glossy finish was awesome. It looked like one single piece of marble slab!

    I've been doing epoxy floors for almost 30 years, the problem with smooth high gloss finishes is they tend to scratch more easily, especially in higher traffic areas that will be exposed to dirt and debris, that's why a good urethane top coat will extend the life of the floor. A high gloss urethane top coat is usually a big improvement, but it will also eventually show scratches. If you want the highest scratch resistance and durability then a matte finish urethane is the way to go. It can extend the life of your floor by years.
  • @Mark-sp6vq
    Over time the matte finish will conceal scratches, dings etc. but the gloss sure has an initial wow to it. Nice work guys
  • @jackww839
    To each their own, but that gloss is crazy coolšŸ‘ Great job as always!
  • @freedomlost6466
    Both looked great, but gloss just had this amazing luxury look to it. Surprisingly, the Matt finish worked better with the room.
  • @T12i99iN
    I think both looks freaking awesome! I myself would probably like the shiny look but, seeing the matte look go against the wood and stones, the matte looks to be the perfect match for that project. Excellent job as usual.
  • @LoanWo1f
    For the vibe and aesthetic that guy was going for with his house the matte is sweet. The glossy gives it more of a modern vibe. The log cabin rustic looks good with the matte šŸ’ŖšŸ»
  • The matte looks more natural,....but that gloss is the most beautiful floor I've ever seen in any garage. Just incredible work guys. I can't imagine seeing that gloss version and saying,..."Ehhh,....let's go with a matte finish" without knowing how it will look or even compare to the gloss. Either way???? Mad respect.
  • @jenniferlynn3537
    You guys are true artists. The way the color blending was done was absolutely beautiful - some of the best epoxy effects Iā€™ve seen on YouTube. Congratulations on your exceptional skill and technique!!!
  • @ifish4728
    The matte matches the stone better, and the glossy finish pulls in the doors and trims better. Overall they both look great.
  • @DadYouNeverHad
    As someone who has a very similar floor (but with blues, pearls silvers and blacks), glossy is harder to maintain. Tire scrub wears the gloss to a satin over time, requiring buffing to offset.
  • @rommel5241
    That matt finish goes great with the stone walls. While the gloss looks great it was out of place.. Great call by the home owner!
  • @user-pj2qt7mt8q
    Glossy for sure inside a home! For the garage, I guess matte doesn't look too shabby. Incredible on both sides, thanks for sharing!
  • @jasonboldea6754
    I like the none shine. It has a unique look that goes with the walls and ceiling
  • @teknikalvette
    I'd prefer the glossy look. Just my opinion. Great work! šŸ‘
  • @randylavine3003
    I prefer the gloss, but I also understand the satin in a shop (glare). Beautiful job!
  • @Oldfashionedmawmaw
    I loved the gloss look but did notice that with the matte finish, there was less glare and reflection of the lights on the floor. I have concrete floor in our downstairs room and was wanting to do that exact same thing with 3 colors! Had not thought of the metallic colors tho. Hmm...decisions, decisions
