Background:
Finally decided to get the vinyl liner replaced. Looks like it's OEM and
about 15 years old. Estimate for the liner replace, moving one ladder and
adding a handrail next tothe steps comes to almost $4K.
The coping is made of tubular aluminum, about 2.5 - 3.0 " in diameter and
painted white but with a slightly rough finish. I'm told it sits atop and
is attached to the metal walls. It is installed prior to the concrete deck
being poured and concrete is then flowed into the open back side of this
coping. The finish (paint) is worn off in some places and is chaulky almost
everywhere else.

Now the big question. How do I refinish this coping, in place? I know, I
know, I can have it all removed and replaced with tile bull nose or some
such for about $4K more. I just want to get it back to its original
condition for the next 15 years.

Suggestions to discuss this with a pool company or my local H-D paint
"specialist" are not useful.

Kincher...any ideas?
