Smith Paints project spotlight
Color at the San Diego Zoo.
Warm Terra Cotta gives the zoo entrance a welcoming color while the texture of the concrete remains visible. Smith Paints identifies this installation as its Color Shield system: Color Floor CF-230 Terra Cotta mixed with Nature Shield over salt-finished concrete.
Color Floor + Nature Shield
Together, they form Smith’s Color Shield, a penetrating color-and-sealer system for porous exterior surfaces. Nature Shield contributes water, oil and stain repellency, with a natural appearance that preserves the surface texture. The system can refresh plain concrete or rejuvenate older integral color.
Smith’s also highlights the system’s ability to accept future recoats, making color renewal more straightforward.

Traditional decorative stain
Dilute Color Floor with the water specified in its TDS, apply to a prepared porous surface, then finish with a compatible topcoat. This route offers decorative color for interior or exterior applications.
Color Floor TDSExterior Color Shield system
Mix 1 part Color Floor with 8 parts Nature Shield by volume, following Smith’s system guide. Designed for textured, porous, unsealed exterior surfaces. Nature Shield is mixed into this system; it is not applied as a clear topcoat over a traditional stain.
Color Shield application guideFollow the selected system’s preparation, mixing and finish requirements. For Color Shield patios subject to furniture abrasion, Smith’s recommends additional sealer protection; consult the guide.
