Adding Colour to Poolside Epoxy Resin Kits

Personalising your poolside finish is easy by adding colour to your epoxy resin kit. Whether you desire subtle hues or bold accents, knowing your colour options helps ensure a unique look for your next project.

How to Colour Your "Trasparente" Epoxy Resin

With the “Trasparente” Epoxy Resin Kit, you’ll receive both ultra-clear resin and versatile mica powder. This allows you to create up to ten different colour effects straight from the box. To use, simply mix the included mica powder into your resin base before application. The powder disperses easily, providing an even, shimmering tone without affecting clarity.

Expanding Your Colour Palette

If you’re looking for even more customisation, “Trasparente” resin is compatible with a wide range of additional colourants, including liquid pigments and specialised resin dyes. Experimenting with different pigment types lets you control factors like opacity and depth. When trying new pigments, mix a small test batch first to ensure compatibility and the desired shade.

When This Matters

Custom colouring is especially useful when you want your pool surround to complement your outdoor décor or hide existing surface imperfections. A coloured resin coating can help create a cohesive, inviting space whilst offering a distinctive finish that stands out from typical pool surrounds.
