We Run a Real
Coating Operation

Empire Coating Solutions runs epoxy classes in California out of our Corona warehouse — the same building contractors across Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and San Diego counties buy their material from. Every session covers both epoxy flooring courses and concrete coating applicator training, so you leave able to quote and install resinous floors and cementitious concrete overlays.

Chemical Mastery

Master standard epoxies, fast-cure polyaspartics, and urethane cements. Exact mix ratios, pot life, and temperature effects on your pour.

Moisture & Prep

90% of coating failures start with poor prep. Learn moisture testing, diamond grinding, patch repair, and joint treatment.

Business Blueprint

Estimate material costs, bid jobs accurately, and market your services to win high-ticket residential and commercial clients.

Certification

Walk away with documented proof of training. Industry-recognized certification to build client trust and command premium pricing.

Class

Metallic epoxy sample boards poured on the shop floor with Reflector Enhancer metallic pigments. Students mix, pour, and manipulate their own boards, so you learn how pigment load, flow, and timing change the finish before you ever run a metallic floor for a client.
