Default Changing Color of Porcelain Bath Tub

"Manjo" wrote in message
oups.com...
My thanks for all the excellent replies. The tub is not used a lot.
I'm going to try to paint it with an epoxy product with three or more
spray on coats.

Can someone recommend a kit, or perhaps please let me know which kits
to stay away from??

TIA,

Manjo

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.

First of all, stop top posting. Nobody reads from bottom to top. Fix your
problem.

I agree with hallerb. Forget trying to put another coating on the tub. Look
at inserts. Even if it takes 3 months or a year for you to investigate doing
the job yourself, take the time. If there is an evil force trying to get you
to do this quickly instead of correctly, tell the evil force to concern
herself with other things, like planning how many Christmas cookies she's
going to make. Meditate on doing this job perfectly, and do it YOUR way.
But, no epoxy.
