Is there a decent way to repair these? At Home Depot I saw some spray on
epoxy repair, some brush on repair but don't know which might be best. As
just a guess, I'd sand down the area, remove any chips, fill with some
sort of epoxy filler, sand again, prime and then spray on the epoxy. It
might be close enough in color that I'd only have to do the repaired area
and not have to do the rest of the tub.

Does this sound doable? If so, what to use as the expoxy filler? Any othe=

suggestions?

Thanks,

I have used the brush on with good results. Frankly I think I
would have better luck with the bush unless I had a lot of experience
with the spray stuff.

Did it look smooth when you were done? Can you sand it and put on another
coat? What can be done about chips 1/16" depth, about the size of a
quarter or nickle?
