Rockin' Baja Lobster - Downtown San Diego

Rockin' Baja Lobster, known for its Mexican cuisine and festive atmosphere, wanted a unique floor for their downtown San Diego location. We created a dynamic, colorful surface mimicking the ocean with Westcoat’s Grind/Stain/Seal system. 

All floors were prepped by patching and grinding the existing concrete with 30/40 and 60/80 grit diamonds.

In the downstairs dining area, the concrete was stained with Westcoat SC-30 Acid Stain in colors of Aqua, Mint and Bronze. The floor was then sealed with two coats of EC-11 Water-Based Clear Epoxy.

Upstairs, the concrete was primed with EC-12 Epoxy Primer and troweled with TC-2 Smooth Texture Cement. The overlay was then stained with Westcoat SC-36 Fast Stain in an array of vibrant colors including Aquamarine, Light Brown, Burnt Orange and Yellow to create this eye-catching floor simulating the ocean and beach. The floor was sealed with EC-11 Water Based Epoxy and SC-65 Water-Based Polyurethane Sealer for maximum durability at this high traffic eatery.
