Bathtub Paint Before And After

As i do with everything diy i googled the heck out of it before i actually painted our bathtub.

Bathtub paint before and after. Don t rush through this step. The actual painting of the bathtub is pretty quick. Shower and tub refinishing. Give yourself about a day to do this.

Do a good job prepping your bathtub for paint. But to give the paint the best possible chance of performing at its best i m going to follow directions and not use the tub for three complete days. Follow instructions about how long the epoxy should cure before you use the tub and if you can wait even longer do. But you will need to let it thoroughly dry about 24 48 hours before you use the shower.

I even stood in my tub about an hour after painting the first coat and then i even sat on the edge of the tub and scooted across the edge with my bum and the paint was completely unaffected. It won t take you much longer than that. The general gist of what i read was this. Simple as it sounds painting bathroom tile has some key project considerations.

It should go without saying but water based paint will disintegrate faster than you can say why me take a long hot bath at least not for a while.

Here are 6 things to know before you even pick out a paint color.

Use water based paint of any kind.
