Epoxy Coat Garage Floor Coating | COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Do I need to purchase the clear top coat to get the high gloss finish? NO! Both base and top coats have equal gloss levels however when you apply an additional clear coat the light will reflect on a smoother surface and will therefore look glossier.
