First Place: Jay Patel’s Metallic Showpiece for JK Precision Cleaning
A purple-and-silver river under a honeycomb of light — EpoxyMagazine.com awards First Place to Jay Patel’s metallic photo and opens a dedicated gallery category for JK Precision Cleaning.
Every so often a floor photo arrives that doesn’t ask for your attention — it takes it. Jay Patel’s metallic, posted September 25, 2023, is one of those: magenta and deep purple pigment locked under a glass-clear topcoat, reflecting a white hexagonal LED ceiling like liquid jewelry. The room wants to be a nightclub. The floor makes it a gallery.
EpoxyMagazine.com is giving this frame First Place in our metallic photo gallery — and creating a category of its own for the company behind the craft: JK Precision Cleaning.

Columnist’s take
Look past the neon for a second. What wins here is discipline. The pigment didn’t mud. The clear coat didn’t orange-peel under that much light. Edges and reflections stay honest — you can read the honeycomb in the floor the way you’d read a signature. That is metallic epoxy treated as architecture, not as a filter.
Plenty of crews can pour gray flake on a two-car garage. Fewer can make a commercial interior feel like the floor was designed before the furniture. Jay Patel’s photo does that. It’s why it sits at the top of this gallery.

EpoxyMagazine.com is not shy about cheering regional shops that punch above their ZIP code. JK Precision Cleaning earns this page: a First Place metallic that could hang in any national coatings feed, plus the everyday garage craft that keeps a Western New York company busy when the showroom lights go off.
