Default Changing Color of Porcelain Bath Tub

My wife and I are remodeling our bathroom. We've installed a white
sink and white commode. The existing bathtub is built into the wall.
It's an aqua blue and still in very good shape. We would like to color
the tub white to match the other pieces.

I've found two re-coloring kits: Klenks and Magic American. Both are
epoxy based, and both warn you not to use an abrasive cleaner since it
will eventually remove the new finish.

Had anyone used these and had good results? Is there a better product
for changing a bathtub color?

TIA for any tips, suggestions, comments.

Please forget this idea. It will make you very sad, very soon. Get a new
tub.



there are companies that will refinish your tub, some using a spray on
finish , some with an insert .


Some of the inserts work nicely. But the refinishing....no, unless you're
happy with a result that doesn't last as long as most people expect from a
NEW tub.
