I'm not impressed

I worked hard preparing this old tub for refinishing and bought this product to complete the job thinking this would be easy. It wasn't easy. Being a spray paint, I built a plastic tent over the tub protecting walls and floor and everything else withing 20 feet that floating paint dust would adhere to. This worked great. My first can worked fine, but soon after starting the second can it stopped spraying paint. Then I found that it would only spray paint if I held the can up side down. If I held it upright, all that came out was air. Once the second can was empty I was not impressed with the end result. I endured those toxic fumes for this? Speaking of fumes. I don't think there's an ingredient in this can that won't kill you. How does one ventilate a small bathroom with a small ceiling fan and no window? You can't. You either die from the fumes or you get creative. I took my shop vac and connected the hose to the air output. Then I added more hose so I had about ten feet of it. I then carefully connected the end of the hose to the air intake of an inexpensive old full face snorkeling mask. The mask designed to breath in from the tube, but breath out from the front. I stuck the shop vac outside the bathroom, flipped it on and slipped on the mask. Too much pressure, but plenty of fresh air. I had to hold the mask with one hand because of the pressure, but I barely smelled the fumes while painting. Sorry, back to the product. Somehow, I ended up not having enough paint do do the job on this small tub. The tub was white, but most of it had a flat primer white look instead of a nice shiny porcelain white look. What a PITA this was just to paint the bathtub with an acrylic paint. At least the tub is white and no longer yellow and orange stained and nasty looking. (Since the day I moved in, but I never used it so who cares?) I had previously refinished the master bath tub with a granite treatment meant for counters. (I did the counter too.) That product insisted it not be used on tubs or showers. I ignored it and it's been fine for three years so far. I did not have to deal with toxic fumes that time and it came out looking so much better. I should have done that to this tub. Too late and too much work involved so I'm just gonna get some acrylic clear coat I can brush on.

Easy, affordable solution to a crappy landlord

I just moved into an apartment a month ago with VERY questionable maintenance staff. I wish I'd known that prior to the move, but of course they won't tell you they half-ss everything. Two weeks after I moved in the VERY poorly done tub re-coat they had done started to peel up in sheets. 2 foot long chunks were coming off in my hand, and I was leaving the shower with paint chips stuck to my body. Management's solution was "Don't worry about it, we redo it after every tennant. But I guess if it bothers you we can have someone spray on another coat." Aaaaand there we have it. They didn't prep, probably didn't even clean, just "sprayed on another coat". Obviously I would get the same results if they did it, so I bought this kit to give a try myself. Because it's a rental and because I don't plan to stay here long (for obvious reasons), I didn't want to spend much. I wasn't looking for perfect results, just something that looks acceptable and doesn't peel. I'm moderately handy with small household repairs and projects. I'm very far from a pro, but I can do basic things well, I usually know the proper tools and methods to use and I get good results. Not always perfect, but looking good and working right. I can't build or remodel, but I can fix things well enough. Just to give some background on the "type" of person giving this review - not a pro, but not a total novice. I was impressed by the directions and think a total novice COULD use this kit, though. It very clearly tells you what you need, what things are necessary and which are optional, and gives easy to follow step by step instructions. The process could be done by anyone with basic use of their hands and minimal strength and the ability to bend and squat. The prep is time consuming but not physically difficult. You basically remove any peeling coating, clean, sand, clean with TSP, wipe, spray. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY. Use TSP cleaner. Your "regular" household cleaner IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. If you prep properly, you'll get good results that last. You NEED good ventilation and at very least an N95 mask. The fumes are strong during application but quickly dissipate to just the smell of fresh paint as the product dries. Cover ANYTHING you don't want mist on. That's really my only complaint with this product, is there is a lot of mist/overspray. The 2 cans in the kit covered a VERY crappy looking tub well. If you want to do a surround as well you'll probably need another kit. I can't comment on durability - I won't be in this apartment long enough to tell how it lasts. But I'm happy with how it turned out. I've included pictures of the extent of the peeling I was dealing with, and the finished tub. If I wanted to do it absolutely perfectly, and not at all see where the old paint was, I'd have wet sanded the whole darn thing and started from zero. It is not my property, I shouldn't have had to do this anyway, "good enough" is good enough. I'm very happy with the results. The coating covered well and you have to REALLY look to see where the old, peeled paint was. If you took the time to remove all old coating, you'd get excellent results. This was a good, easy fix for someone else's problem. Just remember to DO THE PREP and you'll be fine.

Good
