How to Paint a Concrete Swimming Pool

I, Jan Addams (DAT Girl), and my hubby Glen decided to take on the challenge of repairing the plaster on our outdoor 16 x 32' concrete pool and paint and instead of re-plastering (which was too costly) using Hi-Build Epoxy paint (you must wear proper PPE "Personal Protection Equipment" - ie disposable paint clothes, gloves and a respirator as the paint has extremely high fumes!) Mermaid Approved (watch the end... as my ultra-ego "Mermaid Jan" comes out to play :) I go from Pirate Gear to Mermaid Tail)

SKIP to 5:35 on the video if you want a 12-step list of what to do.

The Pool Paint we used was Ramuc Hi-Build Epoxy

We bought our paint from Dulux Paints in Coquitlam, BC - Mike Cody, the Store Manager, was incredibly helpful! (NOTE: We ordered 8 because of the Ramuc paint site recommendation but only used 5 kits (2 gallons per kit) and were able to get 4 coats of coverage!)

When we weren't sure why clean water was coming out of our Main Drain - Imperial Pools told us it was 'groundwater' and our hydro-static value was releasing the pressure (oh, it also needed to be changed - yikes!)

NOTE: This was not a job I would recommend for the average pool owner. Hire Help!

Time is short so "Glow Older and Shine Brighter" Resort Style
