DIY pool painting project that turned out easier than we thought. We saved this pool after being forgotten for years. We found the perfect epoxy paint product to help restore it and we wanted to share the process and hope it can help you too!

I use to have a pool business in Vegas, ran into same problem she did and after acid washing I even tried painting the pool after making sure there was no chem residue on the plaster , every dam time no matter which brand I used the paint would chip off a year later

Great job!! My dad passed away and I purchased my childhood home. The pool is gunite and I remember doing the family painting project on it quite a few times but I was young and have no freaking idea what I'm doing. Did you add anything to the steps to keep them from being slippery?

@ErielMarimon 11 месяцев назад

An update on how the pool is doing would be awesome: - How long did you wait for paint to dry before filling with water ? - Dit it/does it make water milky white ? - Any unintended effects you have seen ? - Do the edges peel off, since when you remove frog tape it leaves a bit of exposed edge. - did you get any paint on the deck ? How did you cleaned it ? I followed your video (for the most part) to paint my pool this week and everything went smooth, I am waiting at least 3 days before filling. Thanks!

@diytiff 11 месяцев назад

Hello 👋 We waited 5 days to fill the water. The water was milky at first but we had a pool person clear it up with chemicals. We haven’t noticed any problems from the frog tape edges. No paint on the deck, we had the epoxy solvent from Olympic so we used that to clean some of the tools but I don’t know that it will work after the paint is dry. A few months after we had a pool person do a strong chemical treatment because the pool got green for a bit (due to lack of maintenance not the paint) so after that there was peeling on a couple places that we think were caused by the strong treatment to bring the water back to normal, but after that we haven’t had any problems. So we learned to keep up with the pool to avoid that from happening again. Other than that the family has been using it all summer and loving it :) I hope that helps…

@tysonthegringo 4 месяца назад

I've seen a couple videos from pool companies that have stated you should wait a minimum of 7 days, or if weather is humid during curing, up to 14 days before filling.

@TaiwanLocke 4 месяца назад

Do you know which chemicals the pool company used that messed up the paint? This way, we can all stay away from it in the future.

@triniraleigh3936 3 месяца назад

Hi I recently painted our in ground jacuzzi per a contractors suggestion. The paint bubbled at the bottom in certain spots. I allowed it to dry thoroughly but when the bubble burst or dried up it formed this honeycomb texture with little craters. If you walk on it the paint is sharp and can cut your feet. Did you experience anything like this when painting?

@Gg23beme 3 месяца назад

Looks great! Can I ask, when watching the video, I could tell if you patched the steps or not because I can see it looks like underneath the paint the plaster was cracked and coming up. Did you patch the areas on the steps? Because we need to.

How many gallons of primer and how many gallons of paint did you end up using?

@@Tony-fn7cb I bought it on amazon. I have the links on the description of the video and the website for the paint. I highly suggest to check the website out and do some research before buying since pools can be different, the website has all the information you need to buy the right product.

@diytiff 5 месяцев назад

@@Tony-fn7cb Hi, I did this about a year ago and it was available then, unfortunately I don’t have control of their stock so you might have to research for an alternative if it’s not available. For the return I was able to contact the company that sold the paint through Amazon and they authorized a partial return of paint. I had to pay for the shipping though. It was a bit of a process but it was worth it.

Old plaster, it was not previously painted

@@pochostudio8618 I haven’t been there in a while, but my family hasn’t mentioned any bad news. I will say to make sure to keep up with the maintenance after wards because strong chemical treatments if the pool gets green will cause the paint to chip in places, that’s the only issue we’ve had, that I’m aware.

Why is this pool unnecessary deep?

@sammontiforte7472 Месяц назад

If you look up close, its looks like crap. Because the concrete wasnt re coated. There is chipped and rough texture paint cant fill in. Lightly grind sand concrete, recoat using concrete repair, then paint.

Ima little confused about how the condition of the pool was how it was from the beginning of the video? This pool never had any plaster ? It was exposed gunite ?
