I was thinking of rubbing my bath down and painting it a baby blue as per
reuqets of wife who wants to change everything in the bathroom, why I don't
know.

Having well never painted a bath I was wondeirng how possible a job this is
? What kind of paint is on the bath, looks like an enamel type paint ?

I've got a nice spay gun (used to do a little spraying) compressor etc. Just
wondering what kind of paint setup I could use ?

Thanks

You don't paint baths. There's a very good reason for this.

Think about it - harsh environment, lots of scrubbing, hot water. Enamel
or gelcoat, that's pretty much all that works.

There are several.

- It doesn't work

- It wrecks the bath

I tried the two part epoxy "Tubby" after dosing it with hydrochloric
acid

It's been on the bath for 4 or 5 years now, and it's still there

- It looks like cr@p

- It doesn't work

- It wrecks the bath

Done professionally

it looks superb

It works a treat and so far has lasted 5 years without any signs of
deterioration at all

It restored a CI bath that was wrecked.

As far as I know, it can be painted over again if the existing coat
does get damaged.

Don't know where you got your opinion/experience from Andy, but
clearly we had it done properly and I would strongly recommend it -
that is getting it done by someone who has the right materials,
equipment and knowledge.

The key here is possibly "professionally". I have seen absolute
abominations of painted baths.

Clear lack of knowledge, you don't use water soluble paint in a bath.
I have painted two baths, both fine now. That was using a product mentioned
on the "tubby" site.
The enamel kits are also very good.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "ST150" saying
something like:

Exactly. Back to the soluble paint that I suggested in the first place.

Other option is that a club hammer is certainly needed to apply the paint.....
