Thought it would be fun to try paint the pool myself. i did think it would be tough but wasnt sure, one way to find out. i got some luxapool paint and had a go. took quite a while just to clean and empty the pool of water, and painting it tool lots of patience but in the end, it cost a fraction of what it would have cost to pay someone else to do it. im happy enough with the results :)
Every wanted to know how to paint the pool? or how not too? Tune in to this vlog episode

You guys did a good job but you didn't put the primer on usually a big mistake but it all depends upon the paint and the surface God bless you again you did a good job

You need a respirator rated for vapors when you're painting with epoxy. Safety...!

Has the finish held up? Any issues? Been waiting to get my pool painted, weather has been the main issue (AZ.. its either too windy or too hot or then raining Ugh! That window of time is impt) So. think Im going to get bright lights and paint at night!)

@TastingLife 3 жыл бұрын

Paint held up fine. I really recommend not painting in windy conditions. Gunl is going to fall in all over the place. Not sure if there are any downsides to painting at night...

Hey there, the paint is holding up good. Its a tedious job and great fun to do. If you can buy the paint cheap, even if u do a half arse job of it, its costs a fraction compared to paying someone to do it!

How did you drained your pool? Did you have to release the hydrostatic relieve valve? So the pool wont pop out

@TastingLife 3 жыл бұрын

I used a portable pool pump, and the relieve valve was at the bottom of the pool. :)

You should have repaired the cracks with opening them up and put new plaster or a plaster patch. No cement is 100% water proof. I’m in the process of remodeling my concrete pool to save a time of money. Most important thing is to do research. I’ve done well over 50 hours of research on every step I need to do.
