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.
Water soluble....
Try these guys ...
Care to share ?
Think about it - harsh environment, lots of scrubbing, hot water. Enamel or gelcoat, that's pretty much all that works.
quick fix:
There are several.
- 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:
Damn!
I'll go put away my poster paint then.....
A blue bath ..Is the woman mad . What colour are the toilet and w/h basin ?
Save your pennies and buy a nice new bath in white FFS .
That what I said, a nice new white bath. But noooooooooo has to be feckin blue. We have white sink, white toilet FFS it will look stupid. Pah.
So do a crap job so you will have to get a new suite, simple really ;-)

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.....
