The rigid substrate 1 is coated with a primer 3. The cured primer 4 layer is then coated 6 with a layer comprising a (meth)acrylate and dibenzoyl peroxide. A methacrylate or acrylate polymer coating containing a diphenylperoxy anhydride crosslinking agent and quartz filler is then applied 9 to previously crosslinked 7 coating. Flakes are then applied 12 onto this cured 10 coating before another coating 13 of a (meth)acrylate and dibenzoyl peroxide is applied. Each solution coat is cured before the next layer is applied. Viscosities, curing times and temperatures, compressive strength, and dimensions are specified. A further layer may be applied. Preferred compositions of many of the layers are specified. The substrate is preferably concrete, ceramic tiles, metal, asphalt, wood or PVC. |
