Spray paint provides the thinest coat, a paint/epoxy combo box gives a medium coat, and a thick application like BathWorks & Ekopel gives the thickest & best coat. Also, use a 1/4 inch nap roller, not a foam one. Nap is manuf. suggested, it rolls on great, and doesn't break up like foam. Beautiful work! Thanks.

You did an incredible job and you seem super nice, and I don't want this to sound condescending in any way! But I can predict from experience that this finish will last 12-18 months before it starts chipping away at the edges or around the drain. Plus, you always just have a painted bathtub. If I had a tub like this, with a flawless finish but dated color, I would just pretend that that was my new favorite color and decorate around it. I would have chosen new modern gold fixtures, tiles with some ethnic pattern that included that blue plus some yellows and on-trend hues, some chunky white or cream fabrics, and some luxe wallpaper. Boom, you have a designer fresh bathroom that doesn't look like a fiberglass drop-in unit from Home Depot.

@freewaybaby 8 ай бұрын

Your idea is excellent, but…in my case, it’s already a (used to be) white tub, and my guess is, about 70 years old. The bottom part of the tub really has no porcelain finish on it anymore and though I can get it clean, it’s very porous and still not shiny and doesn’t LOOK real clean. I have checked into getting a new tab installed, and it involves taking out the pocket door and removing part of the wall to get the old one out and the new one in. Sometimes the options are just too much. With only one bathroom in the house, It’s not necessarily a money issue as much as it is a time issue, just to have a fully working bathroom. Hopefully there’s a product out there that’s more permanent than 12 to 18 months. I surely can’t see doing this every year or so.

@FoamingPussy 7 ай бұрын

@@freewaybaby If the old tub is porcelain or cast iron, smack it with a hammer a few times and carry it out in buckets. If it's fiberglass, cut it up with a reciprocating saw. Removing the old tub is the easiest part. Getting the new one in will be much harder.

i moved into a rental where the bathtub was installed incorrectly and had a low spot right before the drain. Standing water eventually wore the enamel and exposed the steel and it started to rust. Rental company said they wouldn't fix as it was cosmetic. I cleaned then sanded the hell out of it. Used automotive primer 2 coats, then applied 2 coats of semi gloss white enamel. It looked great but took way to long to dry as it was winter when i moved in and had to close off bathroom to vent the fumes. it looks awesome now, total cost `$12 and about 1 hr total work time. i still have to sponge water to drain after i take a shower but a small inconvenience.

We had our tub done professionally in our previous house. I believe they used similar materials. It was used daily for over 10 years and still looked brand new. You just have to be careful what you clean it with. Nothing abrasive or caustic. I think doing it yourself is well worth it if you've got the time and energy.
