I might try replasting our gunite pool myself. The cost of raw materials
for plaster is about the same as raw materials for high quality pool paint.
If I do an imperfect job at plaster, I figure will still be superior to a
good paint job. I found the following how-to guides. Amazingly there is
not a single book written on this subject (at least when I searched
Amazon). Are there any other good resources I should look at besides these
links?

Permit me to alert you to something before you start.
I drained my 20' X 40' gunite a few years ago to make some repairs.
Well, it was July and I didn't move very fast to do the work.
In a matter of just a few days I had a number of "bubbles" that were 18" or
more in diameter.
If any pressure was applied to them they would break up.
Ended up getting PebbleTec ($$$).
In short, gunite has to be repaired within a day or two and filled with
water to avoid my problems.
Check with Dolphin or Leslie's before you drain.
Good luck to you.
