Even with the same colour code, an epoxy floor can show shade and gloss differences. The cause is usually batch, thickness or an interrupted application.
Shade differences
Products from different production batches can vary slightly in shade. Reserving enough material from one batch for large areas reduces this risk.
Thickness differences
Especially with light colours, thin areas can show the colour of the primer or concrete beneath. Consistent thickness means consistent colour.
Visible joins
If application stops mid-area and resumes later, the join line may show. Sections should end at walls, joints or door lines.
Uneven sheen
Differences in temperature and humidity, or application at different times of day, can cause patchy gloss.
The effect of light
In long corridors facing windows, low-angle light highlights even small undulations; floor levelness matters even more there.

Because of different batches, thickness or an interrupted application.
How are visible joins prevented?
